Über das Buch
Documentary and street photographs taken in Toronto, spanning the years 1980 -1995. "Toronto Days" is a follow up to Woolaver's first two books:"No Money Down - Toronto (1980-1986)" and "Toronto Flashback (1980-1986)".

Woolaver grew up in rural Nova Scotia and moved to Toronto in 1980 to study photography at Ryerson. He did a lot of street photography in those years, capturing street scenes with fresh eyes. Derek Flack writes in blogTO, "Woolaver's work is so fascinating--a record of Toronto with a soul."

From the introduction: "I spent several years in the '80s and '90s doing street photography in Toronto. The negatives lay dormant until 2016, when my journey of rediscovery began."

Über den Autor

I do social landscape photography and am interested in New Topographics---the human altered landscape--recording how human behavior and activity has affected the world. I also look for whimsical scenes, and elements of surrealism found in everyday life. My work is firmly planted in the documentary tradition, getting photos through observation rather than through set-up and image manipulation. In my younger days, I studied photography at Ryerson (now TMU) in Toronto and did freelance jobs, and street photography. My rural upbringing allowed me to see the city with fresh eyes. Blurb books: "Toronto Flashback (1980-1986)," "No Money Down – Toronto (1980-1986)", "Toronto Days", "Toronto In Colour: the 1980s", and "Toronto in the 1980s" which was released in April, 2025. Also: "Wish You Were Here" (2018), "Colourville" (2019), "Found Fields" (2023), and "Colour Dreams" (2025). The City of Toronto Archives has a collection of 1150 of my photos (digital images).
