National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, E-6, Fuji GS645S Professional, Fuji Provia 100F, half-frame, medium (120) No Comments

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It honours the survivors of residential schools and the thousands of children who never returned home. Outside Calgary’s Municipal Building, at the base of the horse statue, sit hundreds of children’s shoes. The shoes are a temporary memorial representing the Indigenous children who died in residential […]

Hey Nerds!

I love this clever sign for Fair’s Fair Books.

Railroad Tracks #2

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, E-6, Fuji GS645S Professional, Fuji Velvia 100, half-frame, medium (120) No Comments

These photos are from the first roll of Fuji Velvia 100 that I’ve developed in E-6 chemistry. Every other roll has been cross-processed in C-41, including the last time I posted photos of railroad tracks. While I really like cross-processed Velvia, I like normal Velvia even more!

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.

I followed the path that led underneath the railroad bridge and discovered Demon Zaza.

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 […]

Harvie Passage Lookout

Alberta, Balda Baldix, Calgary, Canada, E-6, Kodak Ektachrome E100 VS, medium (120), square No Comments

leading up to the entrance to Harvie Passage

I recently purchased two cameras on eBay at a good price and was pleasantly surprised at their better-than-expected condition. Excited to test them out, I loaded them both with film and headed to Harvie Passage: a man-made series of rapids off the Bow River specifically designed for kayaking. I shot both cameras in and around […]

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.

Canada Day 2023

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, E-6, Fuji GS645S Professional, Fuji Provia 100F, half-frame, medium (120) No Comments

A beautiful day, fresh film, and a new camera. I’ve been yearning for a good walkabout medium format camera and I think I found it in the Fuji GS645S Professional. Essentially a half-frame camera, the GS645S is no bigger than a Holga. While it has a light meter, everything is fully manual; ISO, aperture, shutter […]

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.

Film on Film #11

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

Here are another 3 rolls from my Film on Film project. I haven’t had much luck with Kodak Max Versatility 400 (mostly because I shot it in a broken camera, lol). Agfa HDC 100 was a little underexposed, but then I didn’t bracket my shots. Lomography Cine400 Tungsten, on the other hand, gave me great […]

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 […]

I came across this garbage can when I was out for a walk one day.

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!

I came across these forgotten gloves while on a photowalk through Edworthy Park.

Bactrian Camel

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Tri-X 400 No Comments

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.
