covid Day X

 Scholx's photography is a paradoxical blend of the unassuming and the extraordinary. His modest, unpretentious demeanor and chaotic, rumpled appearance belie the precise calculation and creative genius that underpin his work. Like a masterful conductor leading an orchestra, Scholx's disheveled exterior hides a meticulous attention to detail, a keen eye for composition, and a deep understanding of the human experience.

As he navigates the world, camera in hand, Scholx's unassuming presence puts his subjects at ease, allowing him to capture the hidden rhythms and textures of everyday life. His photography is a symphony of light and shadow, a dance of forms and textures that reveals the beauty in the mundane.
But, like a stormy sea beneath a calm surface, Scholx's creative process is a maelstrom of ideas, emotions, and experimentation. His photographs are the result of a furious inner dialogue, a battle to distill the chaos of life into a single, crystalline image.
And yet, despite the turmoil that drives his art, Scholx's photographs exude a sense of peace, a stillness that invites the viewer to step into the frame, to breathe in the atmosphere, and to linger awhile. It is this juxtaposition of chaos and calm, of tumult and serenity, that makes Scholx's photography so compelling, so human, and so unforgettable

   The Quiet Company Beneath the Sun — Edwards Gardens, September (Scholz) In the gentle radiance of the afternoon sun, the garden presented itself as a small parliament of blossoms, each taking its place with the quiet dignity of characters in some rural chapter of life. Foremost, and with no small measure of enthusiasm, stood the  marigolds —stout fellows dressed in coats of flaming orange, their ruffled collars trembling ever so slightly in the breeze, as though eager to speak but waiting for a proper invitation. Interspersed among them, like modest yet spirited companions, were the  globe amaranths , each bearing a tiny, purple bonnet perched atop a slender stem. They appeared as the cheerful children of the assembly, their bright heads bobbing with innocent curiosity. Behind these, forming a soft, chartreuse carpet, sprawled a bed of  sedum —a most industrious groundcover, glowing with the steady, dependable light of one accustomed to keeping order beneath ...

  (A Fictionalized Pandemic Tale) Beaver on Bloor: When an Entire City Mistook a Squirrel for a National Icon The story you’re about to read is a fictionalized account based on real conversations, real Toronto energy, and one very real squirrel. The events are reimagined for humour, art, and the joy of urban folklore. During the long, drifting days of the pandemic — when time had the texture of cold oatmeal and the city seemed held together by takeout containers and Wi-Fi — Toronto developed a strangely wholesome urban legend. People kept seeing a beaver on Bloor Street. Or at least, they thought they did. It became one of those small, delightful distractions that cities cling to during collective stress: mysterious footprints, a blurry photo, hushed “I swear I just saw it” conversations. For over a year, reports trickled in. I joined the chase myself, wandering the stretch of Bloor with a camera, trying to catch a glimpse of this shaggy folk hero holding court between stor...
