River Rafting in Yangshuo

35mm, China, Olympus Trip 35, Perutz Primera 100

I shot these in Yangshuo, China while doing some river rafting. This was a very touristy thing to do as I’m sure you can tell from the photos. But it was a lot of fun! There were hundreds of boats on the river. Most of them were of the bamboo raft variety. They each seat […]

Shooting Mr. Zhu 100

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Minolta XG-M, Mr. Zhu 100, Xtol

I picked up this mysterious film, Mr. Zhu 100, on eBay. It’s so mysterious that the seller himself didn’t even know much about it, including its name. So, in the absence of a name, he chose to name it after his Hong Kong shipping partner, Mr. Zhu. Intrigued by a new rare film, especially one […]

Shooting Kodak HCP 5369

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak HCP 5369, Xtol

Environmental Education Centre at Ralph Klein Park in Calgary, Canada

I shot these photos on Kodak HCP 5369, which I picked up from Labeauratoire. It was a bright sunny day and so I shot most of these at the recommended ISO 20, while a few were shot at ISO 16. The bright sunshine meant that I was able to shoot every photo at f/11 for […]

Film on Film #4: Two Rare B&W Films

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera

Given the pandemic, my wife and I decided not to stray too far from home this summer. Instead, I had big plans to take daily photo walks around the city, but that plan quickly fell through as Calgary has been almost constantly covered in a haze of smoke from forest fires originating in British Columbia. […]

This is the Jericho Sailing Centre on Jericho Beach in Vancouver. Many years ago, I had an awesome summer job working here with a summer school program for children with disabilites. It was two weeks of sailing, kayaking, rowing, and just hanging out at the beach! The students were great fun and they loved every […]

pinhole photo using Fuji Instax Mini film

Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day! While I celebrate by shooting some pinhole photos later today, I thought I would share some of the photos I took on last year’s Pinhole Photography Day. Around the time last year when I was experimenting with shooting Instax Mini film in my Mamiya C220, I was also building […]

A few years ago, when I first heard that Bellamy Hunt of Japan Camera Hunter would be launching a new film, I had to place an advance order. I shot this the day I finally received my ten rolls of brand new JCH Street Pan.

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Gold 200, New Zealand

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.

35mm, AgfaPhoto APX 400, black & white, Canon Rebel 2000, France

These photographs are from the Bretteville-sur-Laize Canadian War Cemetery at Cintheaux in Normandy, France.

Weird Things in the Woods

A fun thing I like about hiking is that you often discover interesting art and weird things in the woods. These photos are from a winter camping trip I took with students years ago.

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.

Flock of Sheep

35mm, black & white, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, New Zealand, Svema Foto 200

Sarah has been learning to play guitar. A few years ago (when this photo was taken), she rented a guitar for a few months while she saved up to buy her own. She has since purchased a really nice Taylor GS Mini.

Motuara Island Part 2

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Lomography Color 400, New Zealand

These are the last of my photos from my exploration of New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Sound by air, sea and land. Motuara Island is home to the Little penguin and there are many man-made nesting boxes scattered throughout the island for their use. Each nesting box has a lid that you can flip open to […]
