Category: On This Day

The first real snow of the season never really lasts. When the temperatures are playing jump-rope with freezing, we’re always bound to get some accumulation, but it’s just as likely to melt within a day or two. That’s what happened two years ago in 2023, when on the 8th, it was chilly and bare, but…

Gosh, does five years ever pass quickly! While taking this walk doesn’t quite feel like yesterday, it also doesn’t feel like too long ago. Just another way that being a woman of a certain age feels like being a woman of a certain age I suppose. I remember purchasing this roll of Fuji Industrial 100…

Looking back through my photo archive, it occurred to me that we have one exception for the timing of our little fall tradition. Instead of paying our photographic visit to Rockcliffe in mid-October, in 2021, we did not go until the first week of November. In an attempt to bring a little more colour to…

Since the weather continues to be uncooperative in supporting my dearest of hobbies and, even when the weather is lovely, my schedule is also not supportive, we have another on-this-day post! One year ago today, I was out and about with my first roll of Foma’s Ortho 400, the speed a rarity in the (small)…

Contrary to what my phone’s weather app was telling me, when I looked out the windows this morning, I was greeted by a fairly heavy overcast instead of a mix of sun and clouds. Undaunted, I still made photos while Kathleen and I were out running errands this morning (seitan tacos!) and developed the roll…

Today is for an on-this-day. While the weather this week has been generally quite nice (save for Tuesday, when it rained quite a lot), I haven’t been exactly anxious to load film and make photos. These lulls happen sometimes! I did load a roll of ORWO UN54 into the Pentax K2 yesterday, but didn’t quite…

I don’t think I’ve ever been able to talk about Kathleen without saying how talented she is. I won’t lie, I’m a little envious that she seems to be able to do most anything she puts her mind to. Two years ago today, we took the opportunity to visit Almonte to attend the annual Fibrefest.…

An on-this-day from five years ago. Although there is little on this roll to suggest it, these photos were made while my Mom was in town for a visit. Although I do not use the Konica often, it remains in my collection. It was the first camera I purchased when getting back into using film!…

A few frames from a visit we took to the National Gallery while my Mom was visiting, now just over four years ago. I had wanted to make this a true “on this day”, but did not finish the re-scan until this morning. When I got the results back from this roll that I had…

Since my making photos has remained somewhat slow as of late, an ‘on this day’ from last summer. It was a nice Monday morning and I was on a little break to keep body and soul together. Looking at the overcast skies, I thought the rolls of T-Max in the fridge would be perfect to…
