Sarah’s Guitar Fund

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Tri-X 400, Xtol No Comments

I shot this a while back when Sarah was saving up for a guitar. At the time, I thought that maybe I should make my own jar and call it ‘Dan’s Camera Fund’. But then I thought that’s what my pay cheque is called!

Kettle Valley Railway

35mm, BC, black & white, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Tri-X 400 No Comments

The Kettle Valley Railway was a railway that ran across southern Bristish Columbia through Myra Canyon and operated during the first half of the 20th century. It was finally abandoned in 1989 with portions converted into a recreational trail. Sadly, a 2003 forest fire destroyed 14 of the 18 original wooden trestle bridges in Myra […]

Lake Louise

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Fuji Super G Plus 100 No Comments

These photos are from a trip I took to Lake Louise five years ago. I had taken many more photos that weekend, but unfortunately those rolls of film were lost in the mail when I sent them to The Darkroom for processing. I lost 8 rolls of film due to some sort of mishap with […]

Lundbreck Falls

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak UltraMax 400 No Comments

Five years ago, I took a road trip with my photography club down to Lundbreck Falls, a 2-hour drive south of Calgary via the Cowboy Trail. While I was shooting photos from the top of the falls, a man walked up and decided to stretch out on the rocks. Naturally, I had to snap some […]

Field of Crosses

35mm, Agfa APX 400, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Xtol No Comments

Every November, just before Remembrance Day, thousands of white crosses are placed row on row along Memorial Drive. This is the Field of Crosses, an annual memorial honouring the 3500 men and women from southern Alberta who gave their lives in service to Canada, many during the world wars. I shot these on a roll […]

Early Morning at The Zoo

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Fuji Velvia 50 No Comments

These were shot one early morning at the Calgary Zoo on Fuji Velvia 50. I bought a 100 ft bulk roll of expired Fuji Velvia 50 on eBay for cheap. The seller owned two rolls, and when he opened one and shot some photos with it, he found that the film had color shifted and […]

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Svema Color DS 100 No Comments

These were shot at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park using Svema Color DS 100. Not expecting much, I was pretty impressed with this film and how these photos turned out. Although, I did shoot a second roll of some cows that were all horribly underexposed.

Union Cemetery #4

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, color shift, Lomography LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 No Comments

Over the years, I’ve shot a lot of photos at Union Cemetery. Most of the old headstones were made from sandstone and they have not stood the test of time. Sandstone is a very soft sedimentary stone and it is a poor match for Calgary’s climate. These photos were taken with LomoChrome Purple film and […]

Models of Warfare

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Lomography Color 800 No Comments

A few years back, I photographed a Lancaster bomber running its engines. Afterwards, I wandered into the hangar and, to my delight, discovered a model making competition. Rows of tables covered in all sorts of model planes, tanks, cars, and spaceships were set up in the hangar. While the adjudicators were busy judging the models, […]

A Boy, A Girl, and Their Dog

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak UltraMax 400 No Comments

I took a trip to Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park a few years ago with a few other photographers. As we wandered around the ranch, we came upon a dog tied to a fence post. Naturally, we stopped to take photos. Soon after, the the family that owned the dog took notice and two children joined […]

Rusty Old Pickup

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak UltraMax 400 No Comments

These are from a trip to Lundbreck Falls in southern Alberta. They are from the day I drove down the Cowboy Trail with my photography club. It was a fun day and I would recommend joining (or forming) a photography club if you can. Photography can be a lonely hobby sometimes, so it’s a lot […]
