Robert Burley – Great Lakes
Established Toronto based photographer Robert Burley has created some really eloquent images of the shores of the Great Lakes. This is an older work of his but I’m still drawn to them. He’s captured what seems to feel like serene and almost untouched lands, which they can be, but these...
Christian Vium
This image was posted today as one of the contenders for the Hey, Hot Shot! contest. At first glance this looked like an illustration but no it’s anthropologist/photographer Christian Vium that captured this Dali-esque landscape. It’s really amazing how everything fits, even in its disorganized and randomness, this image is...
Witho Worms – Terrils / Slagheaps
Witho Worms’ man-made landscapes images makes an interesting series. Witho depicts slagheaps, which are mounds of waste of either metal or coal.

Justin James Reed – New Cities
Architecture at its simplest. Justin James Reed’s series New Cities, is tensely raw and un-beautifying. The buildings and the lines take on a whole life of their own. Wonderful work.
Lou Raizin – Seasons of Solitude
Lou Raizin’s series, Seasons of Solitude is wonderfully desolate, lonely and filled with nostalgia. His images remind me of home in winter storms or on long February days. To all, I wish you a briliant 2009, filled with good things, good thoughts and good people.
Peter Baker’s After Hours
Peter Baker‘s series After Hours takes familar and mundane places and awakens its ghosts and makes them eerie and desolate. This image is also quite fitting for today’s official first day of winter and for today’s huge dump of snow on Montreal. Get your snowshoes out!
