Not as Epic as last year (that year will not be equaled) but still did stuff - been having fun shooting a lot of film and exploring my love of the B&W aesthetic. These are images I posted in 2012, not necessarily shot in 2012. Enjoy and apologies for the heavy amount of photos!

these photos are great. what are you shooting with?

I hope my 2013 looks like your 2012!!!

Amazing work

This is just amazing. Hard to even take it all in.

Stunning work, Neil. I always love seeing your stuff.

Very impressive! I'm also curious to know what you shot these with. Simply stunning!

Showoff! Great work homie!

That is a glorious year's worth of photos. Too many to pick favourites but "front row seats" is outstanding.

Great work man! I've seen most of these on BlogTO anyways ... LOL

BTW, are you and Ronnie dating? You guys love taking photos of each other ... LOL ...

Thanks guys.

I'm currently using a Canon 5d Mk ii with 16-35mm, 24mm ts-e, 35mm, 85mm, and 100mm but a lot of the UWA images from last year were taken with a $400 14mm Rokinon lens, which I highly recommend in that price range.

The film stuff is mostly with a Rolleiflex 2.8D or a Bronica ETRS (with 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 150mm, and 250mm lenses, though I don't use this set up often).

You do not fail to impress! If I had to pick a favorite it would be 71, it's kind of flattering, to me.

my camera gear just committed suicide after looking at these pics.
one word, amazing.

Neil. I've enjoyed your work since I first saw it a year and a half ago. This is all wonderful. And your street photography too. Especially the early morning stuff with exaggerated shadows. Your work definitely makes an impression.

fucking awesome!

Wow! All of these photos are great!

brings back a lot of memories, great set. Cant wait to do it again this year.

Awesome year, humbled by the opportunity to shoot together at a few locations. My favorites would be Quadrilateral, Front Row Seats and the Ballroom triptych. Fantastic shots.
