Did you take these with film?? some of them look grainy.

I love the western view of downtown and the escarpment lights down below.
Imagine a resto up there?? wow...would be killer.

Yep, all film, all different kinds of it. I like the daylight shots much better in black + white, the colour ones look rather dull. The night shots are my favourite, especially just after sunset when there's still some colour in the sky.

My next project is that tall one in the corktown area right next to the escarpment. Olympia I believe it's called? That ought to give a nice perspective on the core.

Awesome. I hope you keep going with that. The best part about black and white is you can do it all yourself quite easily, right down to the finished print. I've just got into it myself over the summer.

The black and whites I like using on a lot of the older heritage buildings and churches. One thing I found with all of my work on wikipedia, specifically when I was working on the individual street articles, is that there are a lot of really nice looking old churches in town. More so then I even realized. Just on Locke Street alone there is quite a few there with contrasting styles.
