  Buildings with windows like this are the best, especially if you imagine they are the people equivalent of aquariums. Whom is watching whom I wonder??

• Mixed Media n1

  

  Architecture is appreciating art for giants. I’ve always felt like the architects behind even every day buildings should be appreciated. I like to call buildings like this Mixed Media pieces, because they use a variety of contrasting forms and materials throughout.

• Orange

  

  This particular shade of orange always reminds me of the 1970s. Vintage shag carpets, couches, beanbag chairs, and bell bottom corduroys. I can remember seeing all of those things in this odd, burnt pumpkin but not quite orange.

• Pointed

  

  What sort of Toronto photographer would I be if I didn’t include at least one shot of the iconic CN Tower? For decades after its construction it was the single tallest freestanding tower in the world. It has since been surpassed by a number of other structures, primarily in Dubai.

  In a world of clean lines, occasionally straying from the straight and narrow really jumps out at you.

• Sterile

  

  Waiting rooms are almost universally, a sterile, almost painfully flat, shade of white. My Dentist is no exception. However their decor, although very, very white, was also rather intricate, these tiles making an interesting motif throughout the room.

• Cool Glass

  Toronto, like many other cities is full of a variety of architecture, from towering glass monoliths to small brick walk ups. Sunset in front of an office tower makes for some strikingly cool glass blues.

• Clean Lines

  

  Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the way skyscrapers defied gravity, like Atlas holding the sky above his shoulders, these mighty structures stand as a testament to the tenacity and determination of humanity cutting steep lines through the skyline.
