Street Art 

 I love black and white for street photography.  It captures mood and contrast so well.  This very cool street art is from an alley in Burlington, Ontario (Brant St.).  Walking around downtown core and taking photos was a great deal of fun and I am very pleased with the images I captured. 









The mouse logo and the name of this place made me want to go in.  Alas, this business appears to not have made it, as it was empty and closed down when I saw and and took photos. Pity.  What a clever name and mascot!!!!

  Some of you may have noticed that I have not been keeping up with the daily posts for the A-Z challenge.  It's time to reveal the reason:  I lost my sister-in-law nearly two-weeks ago.   In Memoriam of Janette Gaboury I managed to make some posts afterwards, but supporting my grieving brother and family take priority, as well it should.   I will try to make some more entries, but I am not at home very often right now and between work and running out to my brother's place, I don't know how much time I will have.  Thank  you all for understanding.  Jeff Gaboury

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.

  A-Z Challenge 2025  O is for Oriole I was very excited to get this shot.  Capturing the bird at a perfect moment, just before it lands, through all of the branches and foliage, this shot was extremely challenging.  Of course, many photographers would complain about all of the distracting branches and some of them would point out the powerful new AI tools that could remove the branches in front of the bird.  But I'm on the fence about such technologies.  This photo's imperfections are a part of what makes it "perfect" for me.  The beauty of the bird and the moment, captured under difficult auto-focusing conditions is part of what makes this image so very special to me.  I have other, clear photos of Baltimore orioles that where the bird is unobstructed and clear and there were fewer challenges for me, or for the camera.  But this one still stands as my favouriite oriole photo and I'm not sure it will ever be surpassed.
