Tributes


If I call them tributes they seem less derivative, eh?

Talbot in the Annex

Another view of domestic architecture in the Annex neighbourhood of Toronto, It's also a tribute to William Henry Fox Talbot. When I saw this I was immediately reminded of this photo from The Pencil of Nature : david-g.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/fox-talbot-the-pencil-of-nature-fotolibro-photobook-03.jpg It's a feeble kind of tribute; I think my hand moved when I was taking it and I've had to sharpen it heavily to get it to look even half decent. But you don't hear much about what a good photographer Talbot was. so here it is. More tributes: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1294982?with=51836014 More Toronto houses: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1341942?with=51836014

Front Street Boogie-woogie

Toronto ====== Another shot that seems to me to have been inspired by Mondrian's Broadway Boogie-woogie , even though there's little resemblance. rdhinmn's suggestion that it was inspired by Escher appeals to me, too, though.

Happy Curnoe Friday!

I think I have discovered another influence -- Greg Curnoe, a painter from London, Ontario whose paintings were frequently displayed in London during my youth there/here. Here's a page about him: www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/greg-curnoe/biography
