The Empire State Building

Got to take in this iconic skyscraper from the roof of our hotel during our baby moon last fall! Manhattan, NY

Fulton Street Vertigo

The Oculus

The World Trade Centre Transit Hub (aka "The Oculus") connects numerous routes and sits right next to the rebuilt WTC plaza. The interlocking ribs of the building create some amazing compositions highlighting the many architectural features of this building.

72nd Street Station

We arrived at this station just before sunset, and quickly took a seat and set up the tripod. We had a nice older gentleman playing saxophone for most of the shoot, which added to the calm ambience as the sun went down, and the lights of city began to emerge. New York City, NY

The Lower Passage

The Bethesda Terrace Arcade is a tunnel within Central Park which takes you from The Mall to the fountain at Bethesda Terrace. While venturing into the middle of the park alone at 5am may not have been the best idea, it was an incredible experience to move freely and photograph this location without worrying about crowds moving through the scene. Central Park, NY

Time Passing

I first visited this location back in 2015 in hopes of capturing this clock with the Flatiron Building in the background. Due to construction, there was a tonne of scaffolding interfering with the composition to the point where I moved on. Fast forward to 2017, the scaffolding is gone, and a convenient plant pot that I could secure my camera to in order to get this long exposure photograph. New York, New York

Roman Angels

Our first night in Rome led us to Castel Sant'Angelo and it's bridge next to the Tiber River. Translated to english, "Castle of the Holy Angel" and also known as the "Mausoleum of Hadrian", this fortification was built between 123-139 AD, and served numerous other roles throughout its existence including a military fortress, papal fortress, a residence, and a prison. Rome, IT

Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass

After photographing the piers at Brooklyn Bridge Park, we scooted over to Washington Street to catch a glimpse of one of the towers of the Manhattan Bridge in the DUMBO area of the borough. A clear night provided a perfect opportunity to stand in oncoming traffic and try a few long exposures to capture the tower (as well as the Empire State Building framed underneath the bridge deck). Brooklyn, NY

The Modern Bramante Staircase

The Momo staircase at the exit of the Vatican Museums is the modern equivalent of Bramante's original staircase from 1505. Built in 1932, architect Giuseppe Momo drew on the original double-helix design of a ramped staircase to allow livestock (or tourists) to move both up and down without ever intersecting. While the original staircase is off-limits to regular visitors, this staircase was definitely a suitable consolation prize! State of Vatican City

The Avalon

Classic cars and Neon highlight the style of Ocean Dr South Beach, FL

Foro Romano

On our last morning in Rome, we both got up early to check out the Roman Forum. Expecting at least a few other photographers out there, we were surprised to arrive and realize we were the only ones silly enough to venture out that early! Nevertheless, we were greeted by the last few moments of illumination on the remaining architecture, as the sun began to rise behind the clouds. Rome was truly an incredible city, and we hope to return to continue exploring the rich history and photo opportunities it presents. Rome, IT

The American Room

Tucked inside the library of Osgoode Hall lies The American Room. Designed by Burke and Horwood, it was completed in 1895 and features two levels joined by a narrow but amazing spiral staircase. A hidden gem in an amazing city. Toronto, ON

Last Stop

No creative photoshop or people removal in this one. This was simply taking the subway to the end of the line and having the whole train to myself. In a few short moments, the doors will open, the people will flood back in, and the process will start all over again. Toronto, ON

Piazza della Republica

Two parents watching over their child as they ride the carousel in the heart of Firenze. Florence, IT

Museum Station

Two days spent touring the TTC underground system in Toronto back in February. Too cold outside to shoot, but just warm enough down here (with a slight breeze every now and then). Toronto, ON

Bridge of Sighs

The white limestone Bridge of Sighs passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the Prigioni Nuove (New Prison) to Doge's Palace just outside Piazza San Marco. The small windows provided the prisoners with the last view of Venice before their imprisonment, and the bridge was said to be named after the sighs made as they caught that last glimpse of the outside world. Venice, IT

The Baroque Stair

Frank Gehry’s iconic staircase extends 138 steps over Walker Court and up to the fifth floor within the Art Gallery of Ontario. The Douglas Fir-clad staircase was named after Allan Slaight and Emmanuelle Gattuso in honour of their extraordinary gift that made the re-design of the gallery possible. Toronto, ON

After the Encore

The stage is empty, the crowds have filed out, the piano is closed up and covered, and a deafening silence overcomes the hollow space. Kingston, ON

Night Falls on Kingston

A peaceful evening overlooking the Royal Military College of Canada and downtown Kingston with the soft colours in the sky complimenting the city lights. Kingston, ON

Ponte Umberto

Linking the Palace of Justice with the areas around Piazza Navona, Ponte Umberto provides an amazing view of Ponte Sant'Angelo, the Tiber River, and St. Peter's Basilica. Rome, IT

Overlooking Firenze

Taken on a quiet evening from the top of Piazzale Michelangelo with views of Piazza del Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio to the West, just as the sun tucks itself behind the hills surrounding Florence. Florence, IT

The Grand Canal

A couple of gondolas transit down the Grand Canal towards Ponte Rialto as the sun sets over Venice. Venice, IT

Downsview Station

End of the road for these two trains just before they re-load and head back down the line. Toronto, ON
