Lavender Hat

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, Ferrania Solaris FG 400i, France

Here are two more photos of a fellow passenger aboard a river cruise, this time in Paris. I was on a sightseeing cruise on the Seine when I noticed a woman wearing a lavender hat taking a selfie and snapped a few photos myself.

Passengers Aboard the Victoria Grace

35mm, China, Kodak Ektar 100, Olympus Trip 35

These photos of passengers were taken aboard the Victoria Grace while I was on a Yangtze River cruise in China a few years ago.

Tigger

camera modification, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Mamiya C220

This photo was made using my Mamiya C220 TLR, an 80mm f/2.8 Mamiya-Sekor lens, and studio strobes. It took almost an entire pack of Instax Mini to get this shot. The Mamiya C220 was never designed for Instax Mini, but I love the camera’s 80mm lens and wanted to see how close up I could […]

Canada Goose

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Konica Centuria Super 400

The Canada goose is often considered a nuissance, probably because they can turn a beautiful grassy field into one covered with their excrement. On this day, they allowed me to photograph them relaxing in the morning sun.

When Light Meters Die

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Max Versatility 400, Lomo LC-A

This single photo is all that turned out on a 24-exposure roll of expired Kodak Max Versatility 400. It’s too bad because I was looking forward to seeing the photos I had taken while on a photo walk downtown last summer. I believe the other photos were lost, not because the film is expired — […]

Comparatively Speaking

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera

I shot these photos at Fish Creek Park on the same day I shot similar photos on Ferrania Solaris FG 100 with my Canon EOS 3. It’s interesting to compare the two sets of photos as it really highlights what a good camera, lens, and film combo can do. (Hint: these are not the better […]

Damaged Headstones #2

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Holga B&W 400, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, medium (120), square

There are many damaged headstones throughout Union Cemetery. Sandstone was quite often used in Calgary in the early 20th century until they discovered it didn’t stand up to the climate very well. But this is the first (and only) time I have come across a wooden cross. The cross was broken in three pieces with […]

Elbow Falls in Winter #2

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Canada, Lomography Diana Mini, Lomography LomoChrome Metropolis XR 100-400, square, toy camera

This is one of the few good photos I got from a roll of LomoChrome Metropolis that I shot in my Diana Mini.

Grassi Lakes #2

Alberta, Canada, Kodak Ektachrome 100 EPN, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, medium (120), multiple exposure, panorama

This 6×12 panorama was an accidental double-exposure. At first glance it looks like an image of trees are layered over the sky, but it’s not as simple as that. Those trees belong to the scene on the left of a group of rock climbers, while the mountains and the lake in the center and to […]

A Bunny in the Bramble

35mm, AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400, BC, Canada, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera

Sarah and I came across this little bunny rabbit living in the bramble alongside the beach one day as we walked along Jericho Beach.

Self-Portrait Challenge #4: Reflection

Kodak Ektar 100, Mamiya C220, medium (120), Self-Portrait Challenge, square

Here is another photo from my Self-Portrait Challenge. The theme for this one was reflection. The photo turned out better than I had anticipated. That being said, I think that it could do with an improvement. Conceptually, if I had to take this photo again, I think I would have some friends pretend to be […]

First Impressions of the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Elbrus

Camera Reviews, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Elbrus

I recently purchased a new camera: the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Elbrus. My local camera store was selling it for $70 less than what Lomography had it listed for on their website. And since I had been eyeing this camera for a while, there was no way I could pass up a deal like that. I […]

Geese on Ice

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 200

The Bow River often freezes over during winter. While it is not unusual to see geese on the ice, I wasn’t expecting to find an overturned shopping cart that looked like it had been thrown from the bridge.

At Home #2

Lomography Color 400, Mamiya C220, medium (120), square

My wife has since redecorated and our bedroom looks nothing like it did in this first photo taken before I met her.

Chinese Cemetery

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak ProFoto XL 100, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, panorama, sprockets

Calgary’s Chinese Cemetery dates back to 1908 and is the burial site for many of the city’s early Chinese pioneers.

Cycling Around the Yangshuo Countryside #2

35mm, China, Olympus Trip 35, Svema Color 125

These are from a bicycle tour that Sarah & I took around the Yangshuo countryside in China. They were taken with my Olympus Trip 35, and while the Trip 35 is small enough to fit in a coat pocket, it does not fit in the pockets of my shorts. I had to carry it in […]

Calgary Skyline #2

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Praktica MTL3

These photos of Calgary’s skyline were shot from Union Cemetery and are from the same roll as the last post’s photos.

Union Cemetery #5

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Praktica MTL3

I shot these photos at Union Cemetery 7 or 8 years ago when I decided to get back into film photography. I was exploring parts of the city I had never visited before and the cemetery fascinated me. As a result, I have way too many photos of Union Cemetery including photos of gravestones shot […]

At Home

35mm, Kodak Gold 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera

Inspired by Katie’s ‘At Home’ series on Katie Shoots Film, here is my own homage to photos taken at home.

Canada House

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Ektar 100

This beachfront house in Bernières-sur-Mer, France is the home of Hervé & Nicole Hoffer. Known as ‘Canada House’, it was originally owned by Hervé’s grandfather and was the first house liberated on D-Day by the Allies. Over the years, Hervé has turned his home into a museum and shrine to the members of the Queen’s […]
