Around the time last year when I was experimenting with shooting Instax Mini film in my Mamiya C220, I was also building […]

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Gold 200, New Zealand No Comments

I shot these from the balcony of my hotel on my first visit to Auckland. As I was enjoying the view one morning, I started to notice all the interesting things happening below me and had to snap a few photos.

On the Farm

Here are a few more photos from the family farm. New Zealand farms are often very hilly making them best for dairy farming or raising sheep. This one even has an apple orchard.

Wintergardens, Auckland Domain, Auckland, NZ

These photos were taken at the Wintergardens in Auckland, NZ. Sarah and I spent a quiet afternoon wandering around the Wintergardens and Auckland Domain. It was an absolutely beautiful and incredibly hot day and I remember we enjoyed an ice cream in the shade of a tree.

Motuara Island Part 2

These are the last of my photos from my exploration of New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Sound by air, sea and land.

A Camera for Christmas: the Kodak Six-20 Model C

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Six-20 Model C, Kodak Tri-X 400, medium (120), Rodinal No Comments

I received a camera for Christmas this year. My wife gave me the Kodak Six-20 Model C. Made in 1933, it’s a 6×9 folding camera that takes 620 film. 620 film is the same size as 120 film except that the spools holding the film are smaller. This means that you cannot fit 120 film […]

Horseback Riding up to Lake Agnes

These are all from the day I proposed to Sarah. We went horseback riding from Lake Louise up to the Lake Agnes Teahouse and I nervously carried the engagement ring in my pocket all day. In the end, I did not propose at Lake Agnes (too many people and no privacy) and instead proposed to […]
