Description

I'm not sure why I started photographing this fountain. I do remember the first time I randomly texted a pic of it to a friend. It was evening, and the light beneath the water really struck me, so I shared it. --- Then another friend visited from Texas. She spent a lot of time there, which deepened my own interest. After she left, I returned regularly in the afternoon and evening. --- Many people born and raised here think this is somewhere homeless and people dealing with various issues spend a lot of time. And it definitely is often that. --- But it's also a beautiful park, smack in the center of the city. Within which is this fountain, which I've become obsessed with. So much so, I keep visiting regularly, even now. Weeks after the city turned the water off, and the weather's turned toward winter. --- Often, after sending an image to my Texas friend, I sit and observe. Seemingly newly arrived immigrants take pictures in front of the fountain. Couples who may have just moved into a new downtown condo sit on the bench beside me. And a few people sit outside their tents on the park's edge. --- From immigration to homelessness to people with good jobs and hope for the future, this is Canada. And after many years away, I'm re-learning to understand and appreciate all of it. photo: October 2023
