Xi’an Muslim Quarter Part 5

35mm, China, Kodak UltraMax 400, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

Walking around the night market in Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter was a truly amazing experience. I could have wandered the streets for hours if I had had more film with me. These shots all captured the store vendors on their phones. Clearly, they were not as enthralled by the sights as I was.

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.

#LoveDowntownTauranga

35mm, black & white, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kosmo Foto Mono 100, New Zealand No Comments

I snapped this photo along the Strand in downtown Tauranga during a jazz festival. Many people were posing with the mural of the wings and while waiting to snap a photo of my wife, I managed to get this one of a stranger.

Wintergardens Triptych

35mm, C-41, half-frame, Kodak Ektar 100, New Zealand, Olympus Pen EED, panorama No Comments

One of the things I love about half-frame cameras, like the Olympus Pen EED, is the ability to create diptychs and triptychs. It’s a great way to create panoramas or simply to juxtapose two images. I made this triptych of Auckland’s Wintergardens last year when Sarah and I were in New Zealand visiting family. It […]

Xi’an Overnight Train Corridor #2

35mm, black & white, China, Kosmo Foto Mono 100, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

Sarah often humours me by letting me take copious amounts of photos of her. These three were shot in the corridor of the Xi’an overnight train.

Yahoo

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, E-6, Kodak Ektachrome E100 S No Comments

No, this photo isn’t backwards, even if the word YAHOO is. I was wandering along the riverfront looking for a place to sit and reload my camera. When I looked up, I saw the sign. I was puzzled for a moment and then realized it was meant to be viewed from the other side. I’d […]

Thursday Doors

35mm, Adox Color Mission 200, C-41, Minolta XG-M, New Zealand 4 Comments

Inspired by Conspicari’s “Thursday Doors” posts on coronet66, I was delighted when I came across these doors on a recent trip to New Zealand. These doors — all from the same street in Napier — are far more interesting than the boring modern doors I often encounter on my photo walks here in Calgary.

Bromide Drag

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, JCH Street Pan 400, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, panorama, Rodinal No Comments

These strange concentric circles that appear in the first two photos are the result of bromide drag and it’s a byproduct of developing film with little or no agitation, such as when using semi-stand or stand development. Bromide drag occurs during development when bromide builds up around the sprocket holes of the film and then […]

Film Stash

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Lomography Color 800 No Comments

This is the film stash I took with me on my trip to France in 2015. Also pictured, are two of the three cameras I brought with me: my Canon Rebel 2000 and my Ultra Wide & Slim. I used the third camera, my Canonet QL17 Giii, to snap this photo.

Views of Yangshuo

35mm, China, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

Surrounded by karst mountains, Yanghsuo is a very picturesque little town in south-eastern China. Can you spot the western brands on the buildings around town? Nike, Adidas, KFC, and Pizza Hut are all there.

People’s Park

35mm, black & white, China, FPP Derev Pan 200, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

Sarah & I spent a lovely day in People’s Park in Chengdu. We rowed a boat on the lake, had tea in the overcrowded seating area, watched an elderly man write poetry on the pavement in front of the Railway Protection Movement Monument, and visited the Wenshu Monastery.

Stairs

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Candie's, Lomography Potsdam Kino 100, Rodinal, toy camera No Comments

These photos were shot with a Candie’s branded plastic 35mm point & shoot camera that I discovered in a box at work. For years, I resisted the temptation to waste film on what I suspected was a terrible camera. I was hoping that the lens would at least have a sharp-ish centre, but the resulting […]

Heritage Park #2

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 100 No Comments

These photos from Heritage Park were shot on Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 100. It is one of my favourite films and I love the way it renders colours!

These photos of a Bactrian camel grunting were taken during the Calgary Zoo’s semi-annual ‘Focused’ event, in which they open the Zoo early (when the animals are more active) exclusively for photographers.

Other Things on Their Mind

These zoo animals all appear to have other things on their mind.

Arromanches

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

These photos were shot in Arromanches, a town in Normandy, France. The number 6 on the building refers to June 6, 1944 — D-Day. Arromanches, or Gold Beach as it was known in World War II, was one of the two Normandy beaches where the British landed. The last photo in this post features one […]

Caen

35mm, black & white, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Fuji Neopan 400 No Comments

I only spent one night in Caen and had very little time to explore the city and take photographs. Caen is fairly modern as 70% of the city was destroyed by Allied bombing in World War II.
