I shot these at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary. I spent an afternoon trying my hand at street photography with a manual camera, the Praktica MTL3. I was using a Russian lens, an f/2 85mm Jupiter-9.
I shot these in and around Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia last year. I used Eastman Double-X 5222 B&W film that I purchased from the FPP. Double-X is actually a 35mm motion picture film made by Kodak and was used to make movies like Schindler’s List and the opening sequence in Casino Royale. I […]
I dropped my Lomo LC-A camera one unfortunate day when I was in New Zealand a few months ago. It just slipped out of my hand, sailed through the air 5 feet and landed hard on the sidewalk. The front plate around the lens came off and the back popped open exposing my film to […]
These were shot with the Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter using the 35mm Back so that I could shoot sprockets. I scanned them myself using the Lomography Digitaliza 35mm scanning mask.
I shot these photos of The 427’s at the Lilac Festival in 2016. The 427’s are this really cool retro instrumental surf rock band and they are having an anniversary show this Friday. Sadly, I won’t be able to attend. These photos were shot on expired Fuji Sensia 100 film and cross-processed in C41 chemicals. […]
I shot these at the Calgary Zoo’s Prehistoric Park on redscale film with the ISO set to 50. I absolutely love the golden yellow tones you get with shooting redscale!
I love shooting old film just to see what I will get. It’s a bit of a crap shoot when you don’t know how the film has been stored. Will the photos turn out? Or won’t they? These were shot in Banff, Alberta almost 2 years ago on a roll of Fuji Super G Plus […]
I belong to a number of different camera clubs on Meetup and one of the clubs held a photo walk at Spruce Meadows. These were taken in the summer of 2016.
Last year I took a trip to Vietnam. I had an absolutely amazing time. These photos are from an encounter I had with some locals on the streets of Hoi An. As I was walking along the river, I spotted two women with baskets of fruit hanging from their shoulders and snapped a quick photo. […]
Here are the photos from week 3 in my 52 Week Photography Challenge. Week 3’s challenge was to take artistic photos of something red. While these photos may lack artistry, they certainly are red. I shot these in Edworthy Park.
These photos are from one of the few rolls of film to have survived my recent postal film fiasco. I shot these at YMCA Camp Chief Hector while I was out on a morning hike. I used Kodak Elite Chrome 100 film that I had cross-processed at The Darkroom. I love how some of the […]
My worst nightmare just came true. Eight rolls of exposed film have gone missing. They are lost in the mail, possibly forever. This is the challenge of shooting film: once it leaves your hands, it’s out of your control. You just have to trust that it will all work out. And while most of the […]
Here is the second installment in my 52 Week Photography Challenge. Week 2’s challenge was to take a traditional landscape photo. This was taken at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. I shot this on some newly acquired Svema Color DS 100 film that I ordered online from Ukraine. Not bad for film that expired in 2002!
After a short hike, we finally made it up to Widgeon Falls. The guys and I took a much needed break to eat lunch and enjoy the scenery before hiking back down to the canoes and the long paddle back.
As we paddled along Widgeon Creek, one of the guys spotted a tributary to the creek. Despite the clear “Do Not Enter” sign and the chain across the entrance, we decided it was worth a further look. The water level of the creek was just high enough over the chain that we could paddle our […]
