Terrific pairings, especially the third and sixth. Collaborations sure help to knit the community together here on Substack.

Thanks! It was a lot of fun working on this with Søren. I really do like Substack for the collaborations and community. It sure as heck beats all the other social media sites for worthwhile interactions.

Thank you 'Marks' - I completely agree. It makes Substack so worth while!

I agree. Substack is a much more collegial place. Instagram is a bad day at a bad mall by comparison.

Not true…. I just floated an idea. It was a joint effort!

True, but if you hadn’t kicked it off it wouldn’t have happened.

What a creative and fun way to share a little piece of Toronto! I especially love that last diptych, they're just perfect together. Did you two shoot first and then curate the images together afterwords?

Expand full comment
søren k. harbel's avatar

We sent each other images that the other than tried to match. Six each. We then formatted at the end. We put each other on both posts as authors and each wrote our introduction to the project and then simply scheduled the posts to go live at the same time. It doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that.

That sounds like a fun but challenging process. I really like the idea of a simple collaboration like this, i've never considered that before. Great work!

Expand full comment
Mark Foard's avatar

Definitely a lot of fun. The “challenge” was going through old photos to find an ideal match but, certainly for me, that wasn’t too difficult.

Glad to hear that you liked the collaboration. This is the perfect platform for something like that.

Thank you. It is worth doing. Forces you to think and remember photographs that you had half forgotten…. Plus I got to chat with Mark. That was pretty good too :0)

I have never been in a city where a police officer on duty would wear a read nose! It was at the Santa Claus Parade, which happens each year in Toronto. Mark, where is your red nose from?

Expand full comment
Mark Foard's avatar

The cops really get into the spirit of the Santa Claus parade. My photo was taken on Queen Street West. It was the window of an “antique” store.
