Yorkville At Night

Posted on December 24, 2014October 16, 2022 by David Barker

Here are three images I took one night in Yorkville. Must go back for more, especially in the summertime when it’s crowded. Each of the images has a person in it. The first is me, of course, or at least my shadow. I guess if I was purist, I’d clone out the shadow in photoshop.

In the second, a girl is walking along Cumberland. She apologized for getting into my photo. I didn’t bother to explain that getting her into the photo was kind of the point.

The third is the alley than runs between Bloor and Cumberland. A man is approaching. It’s a four second exposure, so he’s blurred. Like the girl, he apologized for getting in my photo. Ah, the joys of Canadian street photography! He said he also shoots, but didn’t stick around to chat because he wasn’t wearing a coat and it was below freezing. I like this one the best. It’s cleaner. More impact.
