John FitzGerald's photos

On-ramp to Eglinton Ave. E., Toronto

Somewhere in Toronto, May 2016.

The Buy & Sell was a junk shop on St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto. I have posted two photos of its front window before (shown in the PiPs at top left), but have never named the store. It was a remarkable place, crammed full of items of every type. A review of it I once read recommended taking a pair of gloves and a hard hat when you visited. The B & S also provided some great deals to compensate for problems like having to climb over the stock. Now I find that it closed after I left Toronto, and these three photographs are my tribute to it.

I like the full-screen version of this. Not saying you have to.

This is part of an album which, for no reason I can specify, I believe was inspired by Mondria(a)n's Broadway Boogie-Woogie . www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1347818

Another typical Toronto house style. The street unfortunately seems to have been too narrow for me to get all the windows in. But John Berger says you can evaluate a photo by how much it leaves out that is already contained within it, so I plead the Berger rule. More houses: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1341942
