Photos from Thursday’s walk home. Admittedly, I’ve been a little inspired by the results from Monday’s walk home, where I used a 135mm lens to make photos. I do tend to get a little more sense of motion from a longer lens, and – even though it’s the most “natural” focal length to my eye…

Spring. Real Spring. Not False Spring 1, 2, or 3. Real Spring. This year, Winter has been, shall I say, a little more reluctant to let go of us than it has been in the last few years. While I can manage the temperature just fine, it’s the snow. And let’s face it: my bus…

Admittedly, our little toodle around Halifax on that day wasn’t entirely eventful. We were a little unprepared for the heat and sun, causing us to keep ourselves on the shady sides of the street where it was possible. There was one list item we (finally) took care of that day, however. When Kathleen was working…

I think I might have written about it at some time in the past, but one of the things I am trying to do with making photos is to sort of capture or record movement in a space. It’s the part of me that is influenced more by cinematographers than photographers, enthusiastic hobbyists, and by…

For our third day in town, Kathleen and I decided that it was time to head into Halifax. Since we had planned to head down Spring Garden and then up into the North End with my mom a few days later, we decided to wander around the neighbourhoods south of Spring Garden. I had one…

Our first full day was a fairly quiet one. The weather was quite nice and all we had on the agenda was to meet my mom for a coffee, which we enjoyed at Two if by Sea on Ochterloney. It was a nice catch-up and the first time we had seen her all settled into…

Every year, Kathleen and I make a trip to Halifax. She’s a Dartmouth girl and my mom moved there two years ago to retire, so it’s a family visit as much as a vacation in a very lovely part of the country. Last year’s vacation was the week of September 14 to the 19th, and…

Unlike the past few years, spring 2025 has come in fits and starts. While a clean break from winter to spring is welcome, it isn’t exactly normal either. Even if I’d like it to be! Following the end of my workday on Friday, I decided to take advantage of the sunshine and take a little…

Just a few frames from my commute back home in Thursday afternoon. The weather sure didn’t look like it, but it was a very toasty 17C.

So it finally happened. It didn’t come as a surprise exactly, but the other day, I had a regular eye exam at a nearby optometrist. And while my regular distance vision has remained stable, my closer vision has not. I’m officially getting old! Not yet in need of bifocals, but rather their precursor: “comfort lenses”.…
