Carifest Parade

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Perutz Primera 100 No Comments

I took these parade photos a few years ago at Carifest, a three-day festival celebrating Caribbean culture in Calgary. The photos have a slightly warm tone to them because I had just finished shooting a roll of tungsten-balanced film (Kodak Vision3 200T) and forgot to remove the 85B filter from the lens when I loaded […]

Luchadores

Every summer, a number of cultural festivals take place in Calgary featuring food stalls and live entertainment. These photos of luchadores were taken at Mexifest, a celebration of Mexico’s cultural heritage. I shot a roll of Yashica Ruby 60s 400 at Mexifest and I have to say, I’m almost always disappointed with films whose selling […]

Zoo Animals #4

35mm, Agfa XRS 1000, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000 2 Comments

I shot these photos on a roll of 30-year-old expired Agfa XRS 1000 that I purchased from a reputable seller on eBay. According to the seller, this film had been cold stored for its entire life. Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, high ISO films do not stand the test of time as well as low ISO […]

Shooting Fuji F-64D

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, ECN-2, Fuji F-64D, Fuji Motion Picture Film 2 Comments

These photos of stone sculptures were shot on Fuji F-64D. Introduced in 1999 as part of Fuji’s Super F Series, this daylight-balanced motion picture film featured enhanced color reproduction with natural rendering of blue, green and yellow hues. A long, smooth tonal scale along with better performance in high-contrast outdoor lighting helped to increase its […]

This is Fuji Eterna Vivid 160T. Introduced in 2007, this film was part of the Fuji motion picture line of films until Fuji ceased all motion picture manufacturing on March 31, 2013.

Inside the Bayeux Cathedral

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, color shift, FPP RetroChrome 160, France No Comments

It was great fun to wander around and photograph the inside of the Bayeux Cathedral. The most intriguing thing I discovered inside was that someone had glued Scrabble tiles onto the back wall of the cathedral (see last photo). Written in French, was the message “Le Futur Commence”, which in English translates to “The Future […]

No, this photo isn’t backwards, even if the word YAHOO is. I was wandering along the riverfront looking for a place to sit and reload my camera. When I looked up, I saw the sign. I was puzzled for a moment and then realized it was meant to be viewed from the other side. I’d […]
