52 Week Challenge: Week 1
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 to take a self-portrait. Here it is below. This is a half-frame photo taken with my Diana Mini.

Edworthy Park Photowalk
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 correctly exposed. These were taken on a photowalk through Edworthy Park with a group of photographers I met on Meetup.

Union Cemetery
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 Superheadz Blackbird, Fly. The Blackbird, Fly is a toy camera made in the style of a pseudo-TLR (twin lens reflex). It takes 35mm film (loaded vertically) and comes with two masks allowing you to shoot square or 35mm photos. But the part I love about the Blackbird, Fly is that you can remove the mask and shoot the full width of the film exposing the sprockets!

Some Final Shots from the Zoo
These are the last of my photos from the Calgary Zoo back in February 2014. I had hoped to take more photos of the penguins, but I ran out of film.
