This page features one photograph from my portfolio taken each month so far this year with which I am particularly pleased and for which there is an interesting story.

Brickworks #7 — Toronto. November, 2003
Contax 645 with 35mm f/4 Distagon& Kodak DCS Pro-Back @ ISO 100
This abandoned brickworks is close to downtown Toronto. I had visited the site many times but had always found the building fenced off and sealed. On a Fall morning I came across an open doorway and spent a magical hour exploring the dark recesses of this bizarre location. This was followed by a second morning's visit, and resulted in an article on this site titledArchitecture as Landscape. This series of photographs will be featured in a gallery exhibit in Toronto in early 2004.
And, to answer the obvious question — the light beams are completely real. They are caused by holes in a slanted tin roof and enhanced by the very dusty air inside the brickworks.
