About

I’m an amateur photographer based in Toronto, Canada. I’ve been playing with cameras for over 50 years.

I’m a curious photographer and as I explain in my Backstory this website reflects my current interests as well as my evolving thinking about photography. Why do we take pictures? How do photographs work? What stories can they tell?

You may not find answers to those questions here but you will find a selection of my recent images as well as a few from the last century.

Please take a look at my Backstory if you’d like to know more about how this website is organized.

You can find more of my film photographs on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnalton/
