Midweek can be uninspiring for making photos. Like, really uninspiring. A commute back and forth from my office in Hull can only take so many paths or have new and interesting things to make photos of. It’s fine though. I had two questions that I needed answers to!

Our first goal was to bring my mom up Spring Garden Road and to the Halifax Public Gardens, both of which she found a delight. As for me, I learned that I continue to find the Public Gardens a challenge to photograph! After a nice time in the gardens, we proceeded to Robie so that…

In a way, it was Kodak’s D-96 developer that opened the door for me to want to begin developing my own film in the first place. Back in 2020, I exposed a roll of Ferrania P30, which the lab developed in HC-110 dilution B. The results were …well very muddy. I learned that the developer…

By Tuesday, my mom had healed well enough from a procedure that she was able to join us for one of our adventures. She wanted to see Halifax Public Gardens and we also suggested seeing the North End, a neighbourhood we always make sure visit when we’re in town. It was going to be a…

Canada’s federal election is being held on April 28. Since we knew who were were going to vote for, Kathleen and I decided to cast our ballot on the first day of Advance Polling, April 18, or Good Friday. Talking about it in the morning, we figured that it wouldn’t be too busy. I may…

For my second #FolderWeek roll, I brought the Konica Pearl with me to make photos on a bright and beautiful Thursday that had me running around town a little more than I normally would. While it made the day quite long by my standards, it was also an opportunity to make a few photos in…

Last Sunday, Kathleen and I celebrated our ninth anniversary! In search of a little of the sublime, we had planned to attend a concert at Dominion-Chalmers, but unfortunately, that ended up cancelled. Rather than mope in our dresses at home until dinner, we decided to at least get out and take a nice walk. It…

I’ve always heard that Kodak Ektar can be a little fussy. I know that most film shops I purchase from keep it refrigerated as a matter of course and scanning it can be a bit more of an art than one would expect. In this case, I think I’m finding out that it could be…

I’ve always found it a risk when I am making photos in a new-to-me place. I’m paying so much attention to the new and (often) interesting surroundings that I don’t really have a sort of “mind’s eye” and end up with a roll of rather uninspired and poor photos. For me at least, it requires…

Saturday was not the most inspiring day for making photos. Dull light and Rideau’s Rancid VibesTM provided me with only enough motivation to expose half a roll of Superia. This meant that Monday was a day for taking care of to two bits of unfinished business. The first bit of unfinished business was to put…
