Both photos were taken on the streets of Toronto.

Yesterday I decided to create a new set on Flickr called “Into the sun” to collect my photos featuring sunflare from shooting into the sun. It’s one of those things photographers are taught to try and avoid because sunflare can often ruin a good shot. The effect is one I’ve grown to like alot though, especially with the trash cams.
I’ll probably go blind from staring into the sun too much…

I feel a little silly posting a photo of a cat, but I really like this shot. The textures and colours of the peeling paint on the wall behind just make it for me. I decided to crop this to square, something I wouldn’t normally do, because the foreground was boring and distracting. Normally I tend to crop in camera, but I couldn’t get any closer because the cat was skittish.
