First Impressions of the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Elbrus

Camera Reviews, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Elbrus

I recently purchased a new camera: the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Elbrus. My local camera store was selling it for $70 less than what Lomography had it listed for on their website. And since I had been eyeing this camera for a while, there was no way I could pass up a deal like that. I […]

Geese on Ice

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 200

The Bow River often freezes over during winter. While it is not unusual to see geese on the ice, I wasn’t expecting to find an overturned shopping cart that looked like it had been thrown from the bridge.

At Home #2

My wife has since redecorated and our bedroom looks nothing like it did in this first photo taken before I met her.

Cycling Around the Yangshuo Countryside #2

35mm, China, Olympus Trip 35, Svema Color 125

These are from a bicycle tour that Sarah & I took around the Yangshuo countryside in China. They were taken with my Olympus Trip 35, and while the Trip 35 is small enough to fit in a coat pocket, it does not fit in the pockets of my shorts. I had to carry it in […]

Union Cemetery #5

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Praktica MTL3

I shot these photos at Union Cemetery 7 or 8 years ago when I decided to get back into film photography. I was exploring parts of the city I had never visited before and the cemetery fascinated me. As a result, I have way too many photos of Union Cemetery including photos of gravestones shot […]

Canada House

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Ektar 100

This beachfront house in Bernières-sur-Mer, France is the home of Hervé & Nicole Hoffer. Known as ‘Canada House’, it was originally owned by Hervé’s grandfather and was the first house liberated on D-Day by the Allies. Over the years, Hervé has turned his home into a museum and shrine to the members of the Queen’s […]

Zoo Animals #3

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Tiger Color 200, Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110, toy camera

The Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110 is a cute little camera. It’s too bad that the film advance on mine often fails to stop at the next frame and cock the shutter. It’s not uncommon for me to lose one or two frames each time I advance the film.

Banff #2

I don’t think this photograph would be as interesting without the couple in the foreground enjoying the view.

Bayeux

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Portra 160

These photos were shot in Bayeux, a town in Normandy, France. I spent a few nights in Bayeux, using it as a home base to explore many of the surrounding towns and WWII battlefields. I even had the opportunity to wander freely inside the Bayeux Cathedral, which was consecrated in 1077 by William the Conqueror’s […]

These photos are from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in Vietnam. While touring Vietnam, I had a day off to explore on my own and shoot some photographs.

2013 Calgary Flood damage in Fish Creek Park

This is from a photo walk I took through Fish Creek Park the year after the 2013 flood. I went to see the damage from the flood once the park had re-opened and was deemed safe again for the public. I had a few cameras with me that day, but I only snapped this one […]
