It's kinda embarrassing that I spent a couple of weeks in Sarnia in November, and when I finally came home and looked through my photos, I realized I had hardly spent any time in either of the downtowns. I think was discouraged by attempts to photograph College St in Toronto during the summer and it didn't feel right because of the pandemic. Maybe I wasn't in the mood to get closer to people in general, for some reason. Of course, the whole reason I bought a new camera was for a trip to Vietnam and that got cancelled due to the pandemic as well. I had also just recovered from a left shoulder that mysteriously broke while I was sleeping in bed last summer (which suddenly became less mysterious when I experienced my "first" seizure a few months ago). So maybe I was in a bad mood to begin with, and spending time alone in an unfamiliar city was probably not ideal.
Whatever the reason, these photos are probably not a great reflection of Sarnia and Port Edward, they are probably more a reflection of my state of mind at the time. You can also see my
if you want a more complete picture. I promise to cover these cities more properly and thoroughly next time, but for now I hope you guys find these photos at least somewhat interesting.
