Naturally, a tree changes with the seasons. Though now the seasons have changed, unnaturally. An ordinary scene from the past is made more beautiful by having become extraordinary. 1 + 3 / February 2021 2 + 4 / April 2021
Phones, phones, phones in a few of their forms and states and guises. When I was young, you had to go *to* the phone (in private) or go *find* one (in public). Now you can't ever get away from them (or understand what privacy even means). And yet...h

Welcome to the Ambitious City! Hamilton is undergoing an urban renaissance not unlike the one that gave us the handsomely modern Stelco Tower at Jackson Square fifty years ago. This time around, cranes encircle this central building —cranes tha
In 1973, the rate of inflation in Canada was 7.49%, Rice-A-Roni was served up around the nation, and a very special building was completed in Hamilton for all to admire and deeply love. Happy 50th Constructionyear, Stelco Tower! Look at you, steel st
Signs that light up our lives with their peculiar commonplace beauty deserve to be shared, mailed, and collected...as photographic postcards, of course. Sunrise Market CAR WASH DRY CLEANING LAUNDROMAT didn't make the cut for my HAMILTON Postcards SIG
