In January, Sarah & I had a light lunch at De La Terre Winery. It’s a small rustic winery in Hawke’s Bay, NZ. After lunch, I wandered around and snapped a few photos of the sculptures scattered all around the estate.
I photographed this Massey-Harris tractor at the Calgary Corn Maze and Farm. On a previous visit, it was in a fenced-in field and I couldn’t get close enough to photograph it except from behind. I used a roll of decades-old Fuji Super G 800 film that I had previously tested to determine that it was […]
These days, I rarely get the chance to take a photo walk, so I was quite happy when I had some time to myself in Napier to walk along the beach. These painted kiwis are part of the Kiwi Art Trail, a fundraiser to save the kiwi.
These cars, two different De Tomaso Panteras and a Ford GT40, were part of last summer’s Traffic Jam Car Show, a fundraiser for the National Music Centre.
We visited Hawkes Bay Farmyard Zoo when we were in New Zealand a few months ago. My daughter had a great time feeding the animals with her cousins and I got to wander around snapping photos.
The trouble with scanning redscale film is that the scanning software will try to correct for the red and yellow color cast in the images. The resulting images are often washed out and grainy and require manual correction to get the expected redscale look. I use VueScan and Negative Lab Pro to scan and convert […]
This is A’Deane Park in Waipukurau, New Zealand. Sarah and I took our daughter here when we were visiting family over Christmas. It was my first Christmas in the southern hemisphere and after experiencing a summer barbeque on Christmas Day, I don’t think I can ever go back to a snowy Christmas!
These photos were taken in Calgary’s High Park, a park located on the 6th floor of a parkade building downtown. The park was undergoing some maintenance while I wandered around and photographed the views of downtown.
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 […]
This is my first roll through the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 and I’m impressed! Until I bought this camera, I didn’t think folding cameras were anything special, but I was wrong. The Signal Nettar features a sharp lens, is easy to use, and was a lot of fun to shoot. The Signal Nettar is […]
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 […]
These photos are from the Tudor Garden found at Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand. This garden features mythical beasts holding shields and flags sitting atop green and white striped poles amidst a knot garden. Each of the flags features a Tudor rose, while each shield bears the coat of arms associated with the historical figure […]
