The green creeping through the grate caught my eye. In such an urban landscape life was still able to grow, and I wanted to capture it in this almost macro photo.

The Garden Gate diner — better known in the Beaches as “The Goof” — has been a Queen Street East landmark since the 1950s. Its neon sign is one of the neighbourhood’s most iconic relics: layers of peeling paint, faded tubing, and the accidental nickname that came from the way “GOOD FOOD” slowly burned out until only GOOF glowed in the night.
I love how this sign holds its history right on the surface. It’s a little worn, a little stubborn, and completely rooted in the east end — the kind of Toronto nostalgia you can spot from half a block away.
Queen Street East, The Beaches, Toronto — October 2025.
The Canadian Pacific Railway bridge over Yonge Street, just south of Shaftesbury Avenue in Toronto’s Summerhill neighbourhood. Built c.1910–1914 as part of the North Toronto Station project, this steel viaduct still carries trains today — its industrial frame now brightened by Zuna’s vibrant mural and golden autumn light.

A vibrant cookie truck parked on Robert Street, set against a mural-covered brick wall. Roses, stars, and bold colours create a lively backdrop, turning this Toronto street corner into a mix of sweets and street art. Robert Street Cookies.

“Community Fabric: The Esplanade Sign”
Public Art by Jamii & Andrew Patterson
Toronto, Ontario • November 2025
This colourful landmark in David Crombie Park is part of Community Fabric, a public art installation created by Jamii in collaboration with artist Andrew Patterson. Each letter of THE ESPLANADE is wrapped in a different textile pattern inspired by cultures from around the world — from Madras checks and Kente cloth to Ukrainian embroidery, Chilean Aymara weaving, Eritrean Tigrigna motifs, and more.
The artwork reflects the neighbourhood’s identity: a vibrant community woven together from many backgrounds, languages, and histories. Jamii’s goal was to celebrate the people who call The Esplanade home, honouring the diversity that shaped the area during the 1970s St. Lawrence neighbourhood redevelopment and continues to define it today.
Photographed on a crisp late-autumn day, with fallen maple leaves gathering at the base of this joyful, community-rooted sign.
A wide look at the Toronto Reference Library in late-afternoon light, with the glass atrium catching the blue sky and the brick wings glowing warm against the day. I love how this corner pulls together so many layers of the city — the historic brick, the modern glass, the new towers rising behind it, and the steady flow of people moving through Yonge and Asquith.
This is the library in its full environment: part landmark, part neighbourhood, part crossroads of everyday Toronto.

From an ongoing series of Toronto photographs, of people and performers, festivals and events, graffiti and notices, walls and doorways, all linked by the question, who lives here? A search, if you will, for the signs that reveal our shared existence, and the faces and gestures that reveal who we are....

A closer street-level view of the Toronto Reference Library’s glass cube, with the bold TPL lettering visible through the grid of windows. Pedestrians cross Yonge Street in winter coats, bringing movement and rhythm to the scene. The soft winter light plays off the brick and glass, making this corner feel both familiar and quietly cinematic.
It’s one of my favourite angles — a moment of the city passing by the library’s front edge
