Life

A collection of square photographs capturing moments from myles' life.

A black-and-white photo looking up at a shelf from a low, couch-level angle. Four posters hang on the wall: a grid of tiny illustrated trees, a striped optical-perspective print, a painting of a woman resting a katana on her shoulder against a city skyline, and a Caribou Honey poster. Below, a record shelf holds vinyl upright, with If I Could Make It Go Quiet by girl in red turned face-out, a hooded figure lit from within. In front sit an orchid, a small R2-D2 card, a framed photo of trees, and a light box reading TWENTY PAST EIGHT. A turntable sits to the right, with more records lining the shelf below.

twenty past eight, flat on the couch
A clear glass vase of cut flowers stands on a cluttered table in a sunlit room. The bouquet holds two round yellow marigolds, ruffled pale-blue carnations, tall white and blush snapdragons, and small orange daisies among green foliage. Afternoon light comes through a window on the right, past a potted plant on the sill. In the background at left, a low bookshelf holds a white-and-red Polaroid camera above a dark TV screen and rows of books. On the table in front are magazines, a small devotional prayer card, and two cups holding pens, brushes, and markers.

sunday afternoon, and the bouquet is still going
A large mural on the side of a two-tone yellow-and-grey building fills a dark laneway at night. It shows a woman with flowing teal-blue hair and a crown of yellow flowers, holding an orange cocktail glass aloft in one hand; oranges, plums, and blossoms spill across her white robe. Red spray-paint tags cover the grey lower wall to the right, and metal bollards line the sidewalk in the foreground.

A photocopied black-and-white flyer wheatpasted around a metal utility pole on a Toronto street. Bold caps read "WANT 2 JOIN A BAND?" flanked by hand-drawn stars, above smaller text: "Looking for talented musicians to join a vocalist that knows a little piano and is learning guitar and maybe take on the world. Indie rock, folk, punk, jazz, blues... Willing to play any genre (except screamo)." A partly torn "Inspirations" list runs down the left edge — Billy Joel, Pulp, Dominic Fike, Joni Mitchell, Faye Webster, Amyl and the Sniffers, Hozier, Dora Jar. Cartoon black cats play a guitar, a vintage microphone, and drums in the lower right. Above the flyer, older stickers and a QR code cling to the pole. Behind, streetcar tracks and a leafy residential street recede into the distance.

A bunch of wild flowers beside the sidewalk.

Saw these flowers on my walk to 1RG this morning.

A hiker with a blue backpack, hands on hips, standing at a cliff-edge lookout framed by cedars, ski hills and a small lake in the valley beyond.

A limestone pinnacle splitting away from the escarpment face, cedars growing from its cracks, the forested valley floor far below.

Valley view from the escarpment: ski runs cutting green stripes down the far hillside, a small pond, farmland and houses scattered below.

Theo lying flat on dark hardwood floors in a dim sitting room, seen through a doorway with white trim. A rocking chair sits by the window behind him.

Blue hour from the porch: one cloud glowing pale against a deep indigo sky, framed by white gingerbread trim and a corner post, the fields below already dark.

Sunset in orange and pink over the corn field, the tree line in silhouette, grass and dirt path dark in the foreground.

A rough meadow dotted with clover, three large trees mid-frame, the corn field showing between their trunks under a deep blue sky.

The corner of the swimming pool, a weathered board-and-batten shed tucked under mature trees behind it, one bare dead trunk against the blue.

Theo, a cream-coloured goldendoodle, sits on a lawn with his head tilted up, mouth open mid-bark at a green bird feeder hanging from a large tree. Behind him, an old moss-covered stone wall is overgrown with summer greenery.

Morning off the deck: a tall dark planter spilling flowers and grasses, orange daylilies at left, and the corn field stretching to the tree line under wispy clouds.

Dusk over the corn field, tree line in silhouette, the last pink of sunset low on the horizon and a single bright point of light hanging in the blue-grey sky.
