Alley in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
The lights in this alleyway, really liven up this little alley!  Walking and photographing at night is always such a different experience from taking images during the day.  Black and white really suits street photography.

    I love this little alley and glad they make this look neat or neato as I used to say when I was a kid. Now I am going to share your blog on Facebook plus I am going to make a blog post of my own showing your blog.

    Good to see you set up shop here, Jeff! I'm very familiar with this alley in the downtown core and have taken photos of it myself.

      It really is a unique alley, being short and wide and its relatively heavily trafficked, for an alley. The other alley that leads from James St. to Garden Park is closer to St. Paul St. and it has a very different character, being much longer, which makes it look narrow. It's used extensively for parking during the day, but at night it takes on an almost creepy look - but that makes for an interesting photo in its own right.

    Jeff,

    I'm a good friend of Birgit's and just read of your plight with social media. How sad! Anywho, welcome to Blogosphere. I think you'll find a wonderful gathering of like-minded people on this arena. Although, I'm not doing it this year, you may want to check out the annual A to Z Challenge that begins next month. I haven't done it in a few years. I know Birgit has participated in years past. This is a great way to build a new base of friends.

    I love that you captured the alley as a black and white image. It feels more dramatic. Nicely done!

    Best of luck to you!

      Thank you so much! The Facebook thing has been quite the loss for me, after 18 years. I still don't know "why" and probably never will, but I'm looking forward to making new connections on here!
      I'm glad you like the black and white. I like black and white for street photography, as it captures a unique look and feel.
      So nice to meet you!

My fondness for capturing birds Baltimore Oriole is probably the most defining aspect of my photography.  It connects me to my late mother, who loved songbirds. She enjoyed looking out the window at her feeder, with her beloved (and much worn) bird guide in her hand.   In one way, it's sad that I never got to share my photos with her, as I came to photography late in my life. Yet it connects me to her in a profound and special way.
