Around Town with the Diana Baby 110

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera No Comments

I recently picked up the Diana Baby 110 from Lomography. Since I already own and love the Diana F+ and the Diana Mini, I had high hopes for this camera. The Diana Baby 110 is a delightful little camera, but sadly the resulting photos were a disappointment. Most of the roll turned out as complete […]

Last year, Sarah & I drove out to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose history goes back approximately 11,000 years. We hiked along the interpretive trail where I took these photos.

Xi’an Overnight Train

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

We took an overnight train from Shanghai to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Warriors. There was very little privacy on the overnight train. Compartments had six berths and an open doorway to the corridor. We shared our compartment with a university student and a lovely Chinese family. In fact, there were many families with young […]

An Alley in Yangshuo

35mm, black & white, China, Eastman Double-X 5222 B&W 200, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

Sarah and I took a bicycle tour through the countryside of Yangshuo. But to get to the bicycle rental shop, we had to first walk through a rather sketchy underground parking lot before emerging on the other side in an alley where I took these photos.

Skyline Luge

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography F² 400, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

On my first trip to New Zealand, Sarah took me to Skyline Luge in Rotorua. It was my first time downhill karting and we had a lot of fun that day. Sarah grew up in Rotorua so imagine her surprise when she discovered that Skyline Luge was also here in Calgary at COP. You can’t […]

Screen Time

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Tiger Color 200, Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110, toy camera No Comments

These were shot using my Ikimono Flash 110 camera by Superheadz. Sadly, this camera has a significant flaw. It often fails to stop on the next frame when advancing frames after a shot thereby skipping frames and wasting film.

Sarah and I took a walk along Vancouver’s Jericho Beach last summer. The haze in the background is from BC forest fires.

Last summer, Sarah and I decided to rollerblade the Stanley Park Seawall while we were in Vancouver visiting family.

Myra Canyon

35mm, BC, Canada, Kodak Gold 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera No Comments

Last summer, Sarah & I rented some mountain bikes and rode along the Kettle Valley Railway in Myra Canyon near Kelowna, BC. I took many photos that day and these are the few I shot with my Lomography La Sardina Splendour camera.

Jericho Beach

35mm, BC, Canada, Kodak Gold 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera No Comments

This is the pier at Jericho Beach. It may look like typical Vancouver cloudy weather, but that is in fact smoke from the BC forest fires last summer.

Getting Married

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Gold 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera No Comments

Sarah and I are getting married today. We met two years ago while travelling and have been inseparable ever since. I love her dearly and am happy to spend the rest of my life with her.

Still more photos from my trip to Elbow Falls with Sarah. These were shot on expired (and no longer available) Lomography Redscale 100. Its replacement is the much improved Lomography Redscale XR 50-200.

Lomo Me

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100 EPN, Lomography Diana F+, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

I shot this self-portrait with my Diana F+. At the time, I didn’t realize that I had forgotten to remove the Instax insert lens and so that’s why this photo is the way it is. There’s more from this roll of film if you’re interested.

Diana F+ Mishap

Alberta, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100 EPN, Lomography Diana F+, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

I shot these at Lake Louise one winter with my then new Diana F+. I had been shooting Instax Mini with the Diana F+ and forgot to remove the little insert lens that makes the Instant Back work before loading 120 film. You can see it in the photos. It’s the oddly shaped black frame […]

52 Week Challenge: Week 1

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

Back in January, I decided to take on a 52 Week Photography Challenge. Since I shoot film, it’s difficult to have the photos from each week of the Challenge processed in time to have them posted in the corresponding week. So I have to post my photos late. Week 1’s challenge was to take a […]

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 […]

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 […]
