MUST

Unlike the previous photo, 'Conform', this one has not been edited at all.

The images that I shoot in this graphic style
are typically presented with only minor cropping or straightening,
but are carefully developed for tone and colour.

Even the monochrome ones.

Doorway/Negativity

Mindless barking is annoying, not because of the sound,
but because of the negativity and protectionism of it.

Last night I could hear the cheering all the way up in my home:
all the way up on the 16th floor,
all the way up in Canada.

This is perfect: Patrick Moberg

There's an elaborate joke that depends on the phrase "where's your bin," but it isn't very funny.

In this case, it's Bloor and Spadina.

Hectic

There are plenty of reasons why this is a bad photograph.

Yonge and Elm.

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.
