I have a photo walkabout coming up in Toronto with a couple of photog friends. We've put together a bit of a plan with locations to visit and a route we'll walk after arriving by Go-Train on a Saturday morning.
The discussions we've had in putting together the plan have me looking back through the image catalogue, revisiting the results from prior visits to what I know as 'The Big Smoke' but those younger may call 'the 6'. A trip to T.O. for some walkabout photography was a much more frequent event 15 years ago when anywhere from 2 to 10 of us would carpool into the downtown and spend the day shooting.
Lynn and I would visit our hometown now and then for an outing, Jays game or just for something to do. This week's photo comes form one such outing back in 2008 when she and I visited the Yorkville Firehall (Station No 10), where her father worked through some of his years on the TFD. He had passed, a Line of Duty related death, prior to this visit, but we met up with brother-in-law Bill who provided an 'all-access' pass for me and my camera. This allowed me to climb the hose tower steps of one of Toronto's oldest Firehalls to get a shot looking back down ...
