Description
On a recent trip to southern Ontario, I had an hour-long stopover in downtown Toronto, so I decided to walk around and shoot a roll of black & white film. Even among the bustle of a major metropolitan center, I found myself drawn away from the crowds toward the quiet, unseen corners of the city. It served to reinforce the fact that I don't think I could ever be a journalistic or portrait photographer. I very much prefer to photograph solitude.Photo details:

That's pretty colourful for a B&W film. 
And I'm with you on photographing in solitude, away from main arteries, or just on the side. Quiet corners are just so much more friendly than people when you put a lens in their faces.

Eh, me too. I feel uneasy shooting people or shooting in crowded places.
I hope there'll be more b&w!
