life

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

Close-up of a curly apricot-coloured dog's back and haunches pressed against a person's leg, a grey webbing collar with a metal buckle visible in the fur, a wooden deck railing in the background.

White hydrangea blooms lit up against a dark night sky, green leaves filling the foreground, potted plants and a porch railing visible to the left.

A view through a car windshield at dusk, dashboard in the foreground, a car ahead with red taillights on a two-lane road bordered by fields and trees, a pink sunset glow on the horizon.

One hand holds a mixed bouquet of pink dahlias, purple larkspur, snapdragons, and baby's breath wrapped in pale blue paper, an iced coffee, and a brown paper bag, with a tiled floor and trash bin behind.

bouquet in one hand, coffee in the other. tight fit.

A wheatpaste mural on a red-brick alley wall shows Audrey Hepburn in a white gown and tiara with a gold saint's halo behind her head, blowing a pink bubblegum bubble, signed FIIGUEERS. Red and black graffiti tags surround her. A black metal railing runs along the rooftop above, with wires and a copper downspout to the right and a sticker-covered electrical box at lower left. Clear blue sky at the top.

A screenshot of a Tumblr post by paris-is-living. Handwritten graffiti on a grey wall reads 'HOMOSEXUALITÉ COMMUNISME ET CHOCOLATINE.' The caption reads 'Paris, France' and 'Communism, homosexuality and chocolate bread.'

A screenshot of an Instagram post by jdemsey. A theatre marquee sign under a pale awning reads 'SO MUCH PANIC / SO LITTLE DISCO' in black letters. A person with a bun walks past below. Counts show 41.6K likes.

A pale lilac event graphic from 1rg.space. Text reads 'Aug 18 to 23', 'Silent Reading Club', and, in a black speech bubble, 'Silent Reading Club is happening on Tuesday next week.' A white button reads 'Register on Luma.' A line drawing shows a bicycle, a flower, and a tree along a path. Small text reads 'Curious Creative Caring.'

a weekend, roughly. slides, orchids, a book stack I will not finish. some found things too.
White and purple orchids in bloom on a bright windowsill. Potted plants line the sill in front of a tall window looking out onto a green field, trees, and a hydro tower under a blue sky with clouds.

The interior of a Toronto accessible taxi. A laminated passenger-rights notice hangs off a black headrest on the left. A seatbelt runs down the silver door pillar, a wheelchair-access decal is on the far window, and a streetcar and houses are visible outside.

A stack of seven books on a grey couch. From top: The Shape of Design by Frank Chimero, What Am I, a Deer? by Polly Barton, Rough Description by Don Pyle, Burnside by Devyn Defoe, I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez, and The Frenchmen by Emily Eakin. A phone and vape sit behind the stack.

A backlit grid of vintage 35mm photographic slides on a lightbox in a dark room. The slides show landscapes, waterfalls, a steam train, and coastal scenes, many tinted blue or amber with age. The right two-thirds of the frame is black.

A wooden boardwalk runs along the water's edge at dusk. Amber lamp posts glow on the right beside a beach and a line of trees. A distant city skyline reflects in the calm water on the left, under a blue and pink sky.

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.
