• House of Congress

    In a park beside the Eastern Market in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

  • Spool

    A spool of rope on the bow of one of Baltimore’s Water Taxis.

  • Between Sky and Sea

    From the first notes to reach my ears, the music of Dive Index has always captivated me. And for my past few trips to New York, the band has been the soundtrack to my visits, meshing perfectly with the destinations, the weather and the mood. But on the day of this photo, Dive Index was the reason for the trip to New York.

  • Take The D Train

    At the Broadway-Lafayette St. station in SoHo, headed for Brooklyn.

  • Radioactive

    Few things generate such an immediate, visceral reaction as anything vaguely “nuclear.” Yet for such an evocative word, very few people actually know what radioactive material is. The green liquid in this vial is radioactive phosphate, a substance used for decades in molecular biology research. Using this specific material (not all isotopes are green – sorry, Simpsons fans) has allowed us to understand the very roots of our chemical composition in the letters of our DNA. Pictured behind the vial is a protective lead container.

  • East Gallery

    In the fresh snow of late night Washington DC, the streets were quiet enough to be able to stand in the middle and take pictures. This is the National Gallery of Art’s East Gallery, taken from Pennsylvania Ave.

  • Library Wall

    With its steel and glass addition to its 1800’s foundation, the Runnymede Library on Bloor Street is a great blend of classic and modern architecture.

  • Window Lights

    Another in my series taken from Toronto’s Park Hyatt, these buildings are somewhere around Yonge and College.

  • Where You Headed?

    The wall of Dupont Station, directly behind me when I took this shot.

  • Closed Border (for now)

    From Gabes, Tunisia, in 2005, this sign marks the route eastward toward Tripoli, Libya. At the time, the tape across the distance meant that the border was closed. But as the extraordinary events of the past few weeks reshape the region, it’s only a matter of time before the tape can be taken off the sign.

  • Lake Ontario Rainbow

    A few minutes from Niagara Falls, the storm broke and let light shine north to the lake. I couldn’t pull off the highway in time to catch the full arc.

  • Turbulence

    Upstream of the main falls, there are plenty of interesting locations to watch the water. This long exposure captures the junction of the churn and the constant flow of the Niagara River.

  • Dodge

    Another rusted truck, seen in Toronto’s Distillery District.

  • Bright Tunnel

    From the Westbound section of the Toronto’s Sheppard subway line, this is a different take on the tunnel-in-motion look I posted previously.

  • Looking Downtown

    Aiming south from 18 floors above Bloor St West, the buildings of Toronto’s financial district are still quite active after midnight.

  • Rapids and a Bird

    When the veil of fog and rain finally lifted, there was yet more water. The rapids upstream of the falls have a lot of character, and stand in stark contrast to the still, leafless trees.

  • Stairs, Tiles and Train

    My previous wanderings around the Toronto transit system had never really included the Spadina-Downsview section of the map. Lots of interesting locations out there, including this from Dupont Station.

  • Snowy Subway

    Outside the Navy Archives/Penn Quarter Metro station after a few hours of snowfall.

  • Red Light / Green Light

    With the streets virtually empty immediately after a big snowfall, photography in major intersections gets a whole lot easier.
