Andy

Andy is a neighbour of mine and I snapped his picture only because even at eighty-plus years old he still has movie star hair. He also has over five thousand tracks on his iPod which is really pretty impressive.

Sepia Portraits in the 21st Century

Hey, sure Toronto's a big modern city, but what's cool is still cool no matter how un-modern it is, whether it's an old oak table or churned butter. The same is true of sepia portraits, also known as toned portraits, which are black and white images that have been treated in the lab or digitally to achieve a shade that might range from selenium to olive. These tones can be quite subtle but, if done well, very beautiful.

Toning is one of my specialties, so if you're interested please let me know.
