My good friend Sammy

Sammy was passing through Toronto a couple years ago while on his way home from Calgary to Saint John. He arrived at the airport late in the evening and was scheduled to fly out early next morning. After driving into Toronto, Irene and I picked him up at the airport and cruised Toronto, staying up all night. We haven’t seen each other in quite a few years, so caught up on what we’ve been doing since, and reminisced about old times, it was great fun!

Old House Near Napanee

This photograph of an old dilapidated house was taken a few years ago south of Napanee. I’ve been out that way many times since and cannot seem to locate it.

Rusted and Worn Truck South of Springbrook

Yes, can you believe it!? Another photograph taken near Springbrook, Ontario. There are some great photo opportunities out that way!

This photo was taken a couple years ago while out exploring the Quinte area for houses with acreage for sale. We came across a small home with a barn and if I recall correctly, 12 or so acres. We decided to go for a walk on the property to get an idea of the landscape and happened to come across a couple of rusted vehicles that were surrounded by forest near the back of the property.

I believe the house was located on Harold Rd., south of Springbrook, Ontario just off of the Stirling-Marmora Rd (14).

An awesome sight, I could stay there all day photographing stuff like that

Old Burnt Home East of Springbrook, Ontario

This home; virtually destroyed by fire several years ago, still contains traces of the family that lived there. The name, hand, and foot print of what appears to be a child who lived there is imprinted into a small concrete pad measuring approximately 30″ x 30″ at the base of the front entrance.

Inside, the ceiling and walls are largely collapsed which makes me wonder “How long will this structure remain standing?”. Graffiti drawings inside the front foyer, the only room that appears you can enter relatively safely (Don’t Enter, It’s Not Safe!), bring color to an otherwise dim and dreary room.

Would like to see this place for yourself? Coming east along Spingbrook Rd. from the town of Springbrook, make a left on Bronson Rapids Rd. and keep following it until the road starts to twist and turn, it will be on your right.

Anyone know the some history surrounding this house?

Trail Stroller

The chassis of the stroller was in the same area as the previous posting “Trail Tricycle”. Partially buried, rusted and worn, they look to have been dumped here many moons ago.

Old abandoned objects and structures are my most favorite things to photograph. Too see how the material world is affected by the passage of time and to know that these subjects were once new and in the case of the Stroller and Tricycle, of great enjoyment to a child.

I guess what I’m really saying, is that everything has a history and I acknowledge its significance by taking the photograph.

Trail Tricycle

While out walking the dogs along a trail, we came across an old tricycle

Location: North side of highway 2, between Bayside and Bellville, Ontario, Just west of Wallbridge Loyalist Rd.

Fight night

Taken a few years ago, this is a photo of Stephen fighting himself!

A little creative photography

The shutter was opened on the camera and Stephen was instructed to slow his movement while punching to the right side of the photo. The lens was then covered while Stephen moved to the right side, then uncovered. He then moved backwards slowly to give the impression of being punched.
