Winter Fashion Shoot

Alberta, Canada, Kodak Portra 400, Mamiya C220, medium (120), square No Comments

Back in December, I participated in my first model shoot. I’ve never photographed models before so it was a bit of a learning curve. I wasn’t really sure of how to give the models direction or even what I wanted. I felt rather silly so I mostly hung back and watched what the other photographers […]

Tower Beach

35mm, BC, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 200 No Comments

I shot these in July 2014 at Tower Beach in Vancouver. Tower Beach takes its name from the two World War II era searchlight towers that still stand on the beach silently guarding the entrance to Burrard Inlet. The photos below are of Tower #2 aka CASL #9 (Coast Artillery Search Light) which sits further […]

Bristol Hercules Engine

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, cross-processed, FPP RetroChrome 160 No Comments

I took these photos of one of the Bristol Hercules engines owned by the Bomber Command Museum of Canada. This engine works and would have originally been mounted on a Handley Page ‘Halifax’ bomber. You can see it below being serviced by a member of the museum’s Halifax team who are working towards the goal […]

Fountain Statues

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

I shot these over Christmas as it snowed using Kodak Tri-X 400 film. I love this film! It has a wide exposure latitude and good contrast and I always get great results.

Edworthy Park Photowalk

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Lomography Diana Mini, square, toy camera No Comments

These are the first few photos from my Diana Mini. I got my Diana Mini for free from Lomography for spending $100 on film (so it wasn’t really free). I quite like this little camera and am pleased with the results. Nearly every photo I took with this camera over Christmas was in focus and […]

Starboat Cove

35mm, BC, Canada, Lomography Color 800, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

Whenever I’m back home on the coast, I try to sneak in a hike or two while visiting family. These were taken during a hike through Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver. I like to hike a few of the lesser used trails (fewer tourists) and my favourite leads to Starboat Cove. I snapped these with […]

Canoes and Lake

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fomapan Action 400 No Comments

The shot of the canoes is one of my favourite photos. I love the light and dark of it. These were shot on Fomapan Action 400 film which along with Kodak’s Tri-X are my favourite B&W films.

Purple Sky

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, cross-processed, Fuji Velvia 100 No Comments

I love shooting these two statues in Burnsland Cemetery and have photographed them many times with different cameras and film. These were shot with my Canonet QL17 and a roll of Velvia 100. I love the pink and purple tones of these shots.

Bicycle in Arromanches

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, FPP Red Scale 50, France, redscale No Comments

I came across this really cool bicycle in Arromanches-les-Bains when I was in France this summer. Arromanches is where the British built a Mulberry harbour after D-Day in World War II. The remnants of the Mulberry harbour can still be seen today. I love rescale film and the red, orange and gold tones you can […]

LomoChrome Turquoise & the Bayeux Cathedral

35mm, color shift, France, Lomography LomoChrome Turquoise XR 100-400, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

When I was in France this summer, I took along a roll of Lomography’s LomoChrome Turquoise XR 100-400 35mm film. LomoChrome Turquoise is modelled after Lomography’s LomoChrome Purple film which in turn is modelled after Kodak Aerochrome (this post by The Phoblographer explains it all). LomoChrome Turquoise produces some wild color shifts, but it isn’t […]

Holga Mishap

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Holga 120 CFN, light leaks, Lomography Slide / X-Pro 200, toy camera No Comments

I own a 35mm back for my Holga 120 CFN, so one day I loaded it up with some Lomography Slide/X-Pro 200 ISO film and headed to Burnsland Cemetery. Unfortunately, I had a little mishap while I was taking photos. The back cover fell off my Holga and completely exposed the film. I tried my […]

Sad News for the Holga

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Holga 120 CFN, Lomography Lady Grey B&W 400, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

Sad news this week: the Holga has been discontinued. They won’t be making this iconic camera anymore. Some are happy to see its demise, but they are missing the point. The Holga is beloved because of its light leaks and vignetting. It’s not a DSLR. It’s a plastic toy camera. You can do things with […]

First Nations Bronze Statues

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Holga B&W 400, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, medium (120), square No Comments

These photos of bronze statues of First Nations people were taken in the Artisan Gardens at Bow Valley Ranch in Fish Creek Park. The Artisan Gardens honour the First Nations people who used to live in Fish Creek Valley.

Dinosaurs

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, cross-processed, Fuji Sensia 100 No Comments

These were taken at the Calgary Zoo in the Prehistoric Park. The dinosaur exhibit is actually pretty big and on a perfect day, it’s a great place to snap photographs. I think the cross-processed Fuji Sensia 100 film gives the scene an ethereal, other-worldly look and feel that is just right for photos of dinosaurs.

Fish Creek Library

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Color 400, Mamiya C220, medium (120), square No Comments

This is a shot of the Fish Creek Library that I took using a Mamiya C220 TLR (twin-lens reflex). I love my Mamiya TLR! It is a big, beautiful, all-mechanical, medium format TLR that is a lot of fun to shoot.

Central Memorial Park

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Holga 120 CFN, Lomography Lady Grey B&W 400, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

I had originally shot these for Holga Week, but never got around to developing the roll in time. These were shot in Calgary’s Central Memorial Park on a roll of expired Lomography Lady Grey B&W 400 film. The park honours all those who served for Canada in various wars. I thought I would share these […]

Face Down in Widgeon Creek

35mm, BC, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Fuji Provia 100F No Comments

I went hiking up to Widgeon Falls last summer with my best friend. Widgeon Falls is located in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park in BC. I’ve done this canoe trip on Widgeon Creek and hike up to the falls many times before and I am never disappointed by the beauty of the park. Up at the […]

Packards

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, cross-processed, FPP RetroChrome 160 No Comments

I took a trip this summer down to Nanton, Alberta to the Bomber Command Museum and while I was there came across these Packards on display. These were shot using FPP RetroChrome 160 film that was then cross-processed. I love Ektachrome and FPP RetroChrome is nothing more than expired government-surplus Ektachrome 2239. I thought these […]

Union Cemetery

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, sprockets, Superheadz Blackbird, Fly, toy camera No Comments

One of my favourite places to shoot photos is in Union Cemetery. I love the rolling hills, trees and the view of the city. The cemetery is filled with history as well as many deteriorating headstones made from sandstone. Sandstone is very soft and does not withstand weathering over time. I shot these with a […]

Adventure Playground in B&W

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fomapan Action 400 No Comments

More shots from around Camp Chief Hector including the adventure playground. These were shot on Fomapan Action 400 and it’s become one of my new favourite B&W films. I just love the deep blacks that it produces. Fomapan Action 400 and Kodak Tri-X are two film stocks I can’t live without.
