Über das Buch
"No Money Down - Toronto (1980-1986)" documents the city of Toronto in the 1980s. (An earlier version of this book was published in 2016). Woolaver grew up in rural Nova Scotia and moved to Toronto in 1980 to study photography at Ryerson (now TMU). Inspired by Lee Friedlander and Robert Frank he walked around Toronto with his camera, capturing street scenes with fresh eyes. Many of the photos in this book are now in a permanent collection at the City of Toronto Archives.

From the introduction, "Looking back now at the photos I spent my precious film on back then, so much comes back to me about dropped into a new environment. We use our creative tools as extensions of ourselves; they help us understand and define our place in the world. For me, having a camera in my hand at all times helped me remember, You only get to do this once. We have to take time and see it, as clearly as we can."

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).
