20140625. The sun shines between expressway and off-ramp under Toronto's Gardiner. I will be exhibiting three photos of high-rises along side other talented photographers at the opening gala for the Toronto Urban Photography Festival at Gallery 918 (918 Bathurst) this Friday June 27th from 6-11pm. Come by if you can! Check out www.tupf.ca for workshops, photo walks and phototalks from June 27 – July 12.

20140507. On weekdays, this vast space under the I-190 at Main St in Buffalo is used as a parking lot.

In Toronto such spaces exist under the Gardiner Expressway west of Spadina Avenue. Some areas are used informally as parking lots while others sit vacant.

With new developments rising next to the Gardiner Expressway, many of these spaces could be reprogrammed whereas in Buffalo, with so much office space unused, new uses for these dead spaces are unlikely.

With the steel beams running into the distance, I find this space intriguing.
