About the Book
Toronto Hi-Fi is Avard Woolaver's fifth Toronto book, capturing street scenes in the 1980s. Woolaver moved to Toronto from rural Nova Scotia in 1980 to study photography, and he viewed the urban scenes from his raised-in-the-country perspective. The photos in this book share themes tied to the music he was listening to as he documented the city streets.

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 TMU (formerly Ryerson) 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 Hi-Fi" which was released in December, 2021.Other Books: "Wish You Were Here" (2018), "Found Fields" (2023) In March 2023, 700 of my photos (digital images) were added to the City of Toronto Archives.
