  • It didn’t matter. The cold wind. It didn’t matter. At least, that’s what I told myself as I set out for another regular adventure to purchase food for the cats on Thursday afternoon after work. And while it did matter in the end (those gusts…), I was still happy to see the sun and the…

  • The first (and last) times I cross-processed slide film using negative chemistry (E6 film in C-41 chemistry), I was generally pleased with the results, if not so much the uninspired content. In part to fight the winter doldrums brought on by a most unwanted cold snap, I began to eye some of the expired rolls…

  • Our meal with friends that evening was to be hot pot at a restaurant near our hotel. It was a lovely meal and we have a wonderful time catching up! Tummies filled, we said our goodbyes and it was back to the hotel room for a good night’s sleep. Our train back to Ottawa would…

  • After our quieter morning in Old Montréal, we decided to make our way up a (little) more lively Saint-Denis to see the shops, sights, and maybe even snacks. We made it as far as Mont-Royal before we decided to take the metro back down to our hotel so that we could rest up for dinner…

  • …and just like that, by Sunday morning, the sun was gone. The clouds rolled in and during the afternoon promised us much snow. Admittedly, I’m not so sure about the rules, since when Kathleen and I were out on Sunday morning, it didn’t feel any warmer than it did on Saturday morning when it was…

  • I’ve made no secret of the fact that I would love more sun in the winter. We see too little of the daystar in a season that is defined by snowvercast skies, so when they sun’s out, if I am not at work, I am out with it. There is a downside. There is a…

  • As I’ve belly-ached about enough recently, the weather hasn’t exactly been great motivation for me to get around too far, which in turn has left photo inspiration in short supply. I complain about that a whole lot, don’t I? In an attempt to push through a little, this week, I loaded a short roll of…

  • Such that it was, the big event was now over and we gave ourselves one more day in the city to explore, make photos, and meet up with some friends for dinner. In the morning, our little adventure was (mostly) through Old Montréal. I remember it being dead all over while we were out on…

  • Once we were finished at the Farm, we decided that it would be a good time to return to the hotel room to rest a little and – perhaps more importantly – cool down a bit. Our next destination would be the Art Gallery of Ontario, which Kathleen had yet to visit! CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing Nikomat ELNikkor-S.C.…
