This candidate's web site is a rather lacking on substance (be responsible, don't be irresponsible), but just look at that style! I love the pink jacket and the "Hello ladies" smile!
End times.

Ford government to rip out bike lanes
Way to waste taxpayer money while putting at risk the lives of people who bike to get around! The Ontario government is nuts. 😡

She’s a beauty tonight.
Hmmm, not really what I had in mind, but I like this one (of hundreds). I've always like experimenting with the camera, and failed experiments are to be expected.
I've been wanting to photograph these asters for a while now, but the light (and wind!) conditions never seemed right when I was available.
The experiment was simply to remove all the light and build it up. Using a 6 stop ND filter and stopping the lens down to f8 it was much just black out the optical viewfinder. 4 second exposure with me manually triggering an unmounted flash unit from various angles. This photo captured 5 or maybe 6 flashes each from a different direction.
What I was going for was something that didn't seem quite real, but created through real-world tricks. That part was the failure, but I'm okay with it as just a nice shot of flowers. 🤷
Maybe more underlighting next time.
