I was trying to achieve a vintage look with this photo, and I believe I was at least partially successful as a result of 3 things:

(1) The way the image was processed (muted colours, less contrast),

(2) The moment caught, in which there are no pedestrians or passing vehicles (pretty rare in a metropolis like Toronto), and

(3) The fact that this stretch of Eglinton hasn’t – yet – been overtaken by towering buildings (the storefronts have more human-friendly proportions that don’t overshadow life on the street and that speak to a by-gone era.

Hope and Peace.

This woman (with her two puppies) approached me as I was photographing in Graffiti Alley, and asked if she could have her picture taken in front of the blue bird.  I said yes of course.

After taking the photo, I was expecting her to ask how she could get a copy of it but instead she just thanked me, turned around and said “byeeeee”… and rode away.
