Trio #2
I’ve shared photos of Trio before, but this is the first time I’ve captured all three kinetic sculptures on film.
Harvie Passage
Harvie Passage is a man-made series of rapids off the Bow River specifically designed for kayaking. There were no kayakers present this day, but there was a surfer using a bodyboard to ride the rapids.
A Pond
I’m happy with how these photos turned out given that it was a partially cloudy day. I can see why Velvia is often used for landscape photography. I love the way the light is rendered across the frame.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It honours the survivors of residential schools and the thousands of children who never returned home. Outside Calgary’s Municipal Building, at the base of the horse statue, sit hundreds of children’s shoes. The shoes are a temporary memorial representing the Indigenous children who died in residential […]

Harvie Passage Lookout
I recently purchased two cameras on eBay at a good price and was pleasantly surprised at their better-than-expected condition. Excited to test them out, I loaded them both with film and headed to Harvie Passage: a man-made series of rapids off the Bow River specifically designed for kayaking. I shot both cameras in and around […]
Canada Day 2023
A beautiful day, fresh film, and a new camera. I’ve been yearning for a good walkabout medium format camera and I think I found it in the Fuji GS645S Professional. Essentially a half-frame camera, the GS645S is no bigger than a Holga. While it has a light meter, everything is fully manual; ISO, aperture, shutter […]
