Music

The theme for Lensday this week was Music, which also happens to be the theme for another site's October challenge. This was originally taken for the latter, but only in passing.

Labyrinth

Walking the Labyrinth at Trinity Square.

Red Chair

I've been in a geometric mood recently.
...but I don't like this as much as "Yellow House".

Colour Field Art

With my favourite photographic writer being Freeman Patterson, and my favourite painter being Mark Rothko, accidents like this were bound to happen.

There's no location for this kind of camera play, but if I could have taken it anywhere in the city, I would choose for it to have happened at the Art Gallery of Ontario's recent The Shape of Colour exhibit.

Welcome to Macintosh

My dusty old Macintosh G3/233, which served me faithfully for six years. It had its hard drive changed twice, RAM increased three times, a new graphics card, and its processor overclocked to a blazing 300MHz - the fastest available when it was new. It's operating system grew from OS8.1 to 10.1; it processed every photo I took until October of 2004.

What could finally retire this old workhorse?

It wasn't compatible with the iPod.

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
