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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

The weather, being as nice as it was on Monday, I decided not to limit myself to finishing off that roll of Superia 400 and bring a roll of 200 with me. I quite like Superia 200. It’s a shame that Fuji stopped making it! CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing Nikon EMNikon Series E…

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…

With the announcement of the bankruptcy and liquidation of The Bay a few weeks ago, Kathleen and I decided to pay the departing department store a visit this Saturday. We’re in need of some new pillow cases, maybe a dress or two, and for the love of all that is…
