I have a theory. Everyone enjoys flowers, but not everyone enjoys tending to them. Count me amongst the latter. So, I photograph flowers instead.
Possibly a surprise to some, Toronto is home to many prolific and terrific gardeners. A walk through almost any residential clave can be rewarded with sights and scents of a wide range of flora. This is complemented by the efforts of the municipal gardening crew who, year after year, unfailingly gift Torontonians and tourists alike with a rotation of tulips, lilies, sunflowers and roses, etc.
Interested in purchasing greeting cards featuring these flowers? They will be available soon in my Photograph Shoppe. In the meantime, contact me.
Here are some pseudorandom samples of my photographs of urban gardens in Toronto:
And here is a series of single flowers, all captured using my iPhone:
