It is a significant improvement, but not a solution. As you might have seen in two previous posts, I’ve been having trouble with Flic Film’s C-41 “Eco” kit. Chatting back and forth with some kind people online, it seems like this particular kit can be a little fussy with a few oddball emulsions like, *ahem*,…

A few photos from an uneventful workweek. And I believe that the problem I’ve had with the C-41 Eco Kit may actually be a problem with some fussier colour negative films. I developed a roll of Flic Film Aurora 400 this afternoon, which appears entirely fine. CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing Pentax K2SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7Flic Film Elektra 100Flic…

Photos made between Kagawong and Gore Bay, Ontario in 2021. It was the second time we had paid visit to Gore Bay, which I find to be quite an adorable little place. While I don’t really have the same taste for beer I once did, I really enjoyed the offerings at Split Rail, as well…

From a little stop at Bridal Veil Falls in Kagawong. When my Dad moved out to the area in 2002 or 2003 and began exploring Manitoulin regularly, it was Bridal Veil Falls he seemed most excited to show us. Well, that, and the nearby chocolate shop. Come to think of it, Kagawong’s retail sector seems…

At some point nearing the end of the 2000s, my Dad purchased a camper trailer and began doing the seasonal thing at a campground at Manitoulin Island. I think he spent the first few seasons trying out campgrounds around the island, but eventually settled on Mindemoya Court, where he became something of a fixture –…

While still quite warm (and still getting over some mystery bug I may have shared), yesterday was a lovely day to be out an about. Kathleen and I decided to pay a visit a Queer Market at the Next Door Event Space at the edge of Hintonburg. After seemingly everywhere else having had their Pride…

I don’t normally take more than one day to expose 24 frames of film, but here we are. When I look back at my photo-making adventures in previous years, it turns out that it’s to be expected: by mid-July, the heat sets in, the magic of the high season fades, and it’s just punitive sun,…

Since I haven’t been making commute photos so often lately, I haven’t had any to share. Admittedly, it does get a little samey to pass the same scenes every day, so I’m less inspired to make photos.

Like most people, I don’t actually enjoy scanning my film. It can be tedious and repetitive. Not to mention slow. It’s especially slow if you’re using home-user type scanners like I am. It’s also the only way I’ve found to get the results that I want! I remember fairly well when I got the scans…

So that was our “main event” on Saturday: a visit to the Ottawa Art Gallery! Since we love the gallery and live nearby, it’s a place we visit frequently enough: perhaps 4-6 times per year. This time, it was to see an exhibit called Grotto: The Bill Staubi Collection, a showcase of queer art collected…
