Shot during a visit to the Steam Whistle Brewery in September 2010. Whether inside its historial home or browsing its surroundings, there was an abundance of photographic opportunities...

Are we viewing something in its usual environment or is it out of context?

Do you see tension or tenacity?

Is there too much focus or are there not enough elements in focus?

Can you assume that motion is about to occur or did we miss it already?

Did the scant application of paint take a few intentional hours of technique or countless candid years of exposure to the elements?

Are you the top hook or the bottom hook?
