The Rundown

I’ve decided to start a new linkblog-style series that I call The Rundown. It’s nothing more than links of interest along with some commentary (which I’m hoping will help me remember why I’ve bookmarked these sites). 🔗 The Big Film Database It is exactly what it sounds like: a big database of film brands and […]

Royal Tyrrell Museum

Alberta, Canada, Fuji Instax Square, Fuji Instax Square SQ10, instant

These dinosaur photos are from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. Sarah & I took her parents there when they visited us last Christmas. The lighting in the museum is very dim and you’re not supposed to use flash, so I’m happy with the way these turned out.

Cameras

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Pro 400H, Mamiya C220, medium (120), square

These are a few of my smaller cameras. I shot these a few years ago when I first got my Mamiya C220 TLR and a small studio light box. I was quite disappointed with the way these turned out and I’ve never bought another roll of Fuji Pro 400H film.

Damaged Headstones

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Svema FN64

On one of my many trips to Union Cemetery, I shot these B&W photos of damaged and deteriorating headstones. Many of these headstones date back to the early days of Calgary’s settlement and it’s rather sad to see the loss of history. Hopefully, by capturing a few photos I can do my part to preserve […]

Fishing off the Coast of Arromanches

35mm, black & white, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Svema A2SH 400

I shot these photos in 2015 while on a tour of Canadian World War II battlefields in France. These are from Arromanches in Normandy. Arromanches is the location of Gold Beach where the British landed on D-Day and built a Mulberry harbour out of huge concrete caissons, many of which can still be seen off […]

Pandas at the Calgary Zoo

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fuji Astia 100F

The Calgary Zoo is currently playing host to some pandas. They are very popular and the day I shot these photos, it was very hard to get a good shot given the size of the crowd of people around the pandas. It’s really no different in China. When Sarah and I were in Chengdu this […]

Tiger Training Time

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fuji Astia 100F

While visiting the Calgary Zoo one day, I photographed this amusing little demonstration on how to train a tiger by giving it food when it touches its nose to the stick. At first, the girl had no clue what the trainer was asking of her, but she did eventually get it.

Wandering Shanghai’s Old City

35mm, China, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35

When Sarah & I were in Shanghai, we spent the day wandering the Yuyuan Garden and the surrounding Bazaar. I snapped most of these photos as we walked through the streets of the Old City on our way to the Bund.

Park Güell

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography F² 400, Spain

Sarah & I spent a day wandering Park Güell in Barcelona. Antoni Gaudí’s architecture is simply amazing. Sadly, I didn’t capture much on film as I was mostly shooting with my DSLR that day.

Around Town with the Diana Baby 110

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

I recently picked up the Diana Baby 110 from Lomography. Since I already own and love the Diana F+ and the Diana Mini, I had high hopes for this camera. The Diana Baby 110 is a delightful little camera, but sadly the resulting photos were a disappointment. Most of the roll turned out as complete […]

Sarah & I wandered around Kelowna, BC one day when we came across this piano.

Shooting Valca Film

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Caffenol, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Self-Portrait Challenge, Valca Grano Fino Positiva 6

I like shooting rare and expired film. I like it when I discover an old film that not only still produces good results, but also has a unique look or color palette. These are from a roll of Valca Grano Fino Positiva cinematic film that I purchased from Labeauratoire. Since Valca has a recommended ISO […]

Toy Trucks

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Tri-X 400, Mamiya C220, medium (120), Rodinal, square

My wife gave me a Lab-Box for Christmas this year and I’ve started developing my own film. These were developed using Rodinal (or Blazinal as it is branded here in Canada).

Il Giardino Italiano

35mm, BC, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography Color 800

I shot these in Vancouver’s Il Giardino Italiano (the Italian Garden) at Hasting’s Park. It’s a beautiful garden to wander through with plenty of flowers and amazing fountains. The Opera Walk is especially beautiful.

Lynn Valley

One of my favourite places to hike in North Vancouver has always been Lynn Valley.

Wandering Heritage Park

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Fuji Velvia 100

Heritage Park is one of those places where there is lots to see and photograph. Over the years, I have managed to shoot many rolls of film there. I believe this is the first roll of Velvia 100 that I ever cross-processed and, once I saw the results, I instantly fell in love with the […]
