A shot I've wanted to take for a long time. You can only do it in winter; in the summer sunset is too late and the lights go off by then.

Canadian road trip, 2015. Honest Ed’s Toronto. This Annex institution will be closed and torn down in a little over a year.
Enero
No creo nunca haber tomado un autorretrato tan honesto de como me sentía en el instante como este. Si, he estado feliz en los autorretratos pero también el hecho de estar tomando fotos ayudaba a sentirme así feliz en el instante. En cambio este es real, no estoy exagerando nada. Nunca me había sentido muy cómoda de mostrar un poco de tristeza en una foto. A nuestra cultura le avergüenza el dolor y tratarlo en fotos me desagrada aunque no significa que lo sienta menos. No puedo decir en palabras como me siento pero esta foto lo dice mejor que yo. No es un estado permanente pero si he estado batallando entre este estado y el positivismo.
Es un tiempo de cambios y hay que aceptaremos.
Honest Johnathan’s Vintage Auto Sales “you should buy a used car from this man”
( thanks to Jef Wharton for car and salesman photo )
There's something to be said for the honest approach...
I asked if we should check it out but was reminded that we have more than enough "good crap" of our own already. True that is.. so we continued on. I would loved to have seen this "good crap" though..
Stimulated by an AI experiment by Paul Ewing, I have created this image manually with photomanipulation software, from three layers (most obviously an 1865 photo of Lincoln by Alexander Gardner, but also two images from the interior of an active car wash).">

Visit to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan on September 28, 2014. The sixteenth President of the United States relaxes on a bench outside the Lincoln Motor Car Museum which recently opened on the Gilmore Museum campus. One can almost imagine he is waiting for his namesake museum to open.

“You are painfully honest,” you said smiling
“but please don’t change, I like you as you are”.
I am your friend, best things in this prevailing,
But every time I speak I leave a scar.
My coat of armour, hard and silver bright
Shows to the world my brave face and my strength:
In hand no weapons, just a shield of light
Dazzling the rivals with its rays at length.
It’s hard to fight, a shield only in hand
Fencing and warding, to prevent the stroke.
I’m not in danger, I trust you as a friend,
But to be sure I crack a wicked joke.
The scars I leave are deep, but in the end they’ll heal;
They mirror mine, they’re countless - that I would not reveal.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra, inspiration for the pose "Sogni" by Vittorio Corcos)

So pleased with this although lets be honest its not the most amazing example it does have a chip out of it at the bottom however these are normally scratched to shreds so at the same time its quite good it will look presentable after a clean I'm sure on the rear it only has a couple of clips left which is a shame
Goodbye 2016, Goodbye Honest Ed's. When I was a teenager in Toronto, every Wednesday and Saturday they'd have a sale on 2 selected vinyl records for about 2 bucks each. I'd race there on my bike and score. The things Ed Mirvish chose to sell were sometimes bizarre and always intermixed with celebrity photos signed to him, the fights for sale items could be rapacious, the publicity stunts were generous (free Christmas turkeys), signs screamed puns and insults ("Ed's a slob - he keeps dropping his prices!"), he brought in every kid and immigrant from miles around, and the business model worked. It was fantastic and weird, and it lasted 68 years, until today. Much love to Ed Mirvish, as well as Wayne Reuben, the in-house sign painter since 1994. I went back to photograph the store a year ago and will post more soon. A new era begins.
