Rare for this time of year, we were treated to a sunny and melty day yesterday. Without any strong plans, we decided that we would just go for a nice little walk to Old Ottawa East for a visit to Café Qui Pense for a nice warm beverage and Singing Pebble Books for a little…

Well, if I wasn’t, I certainly had a funny way of showing it! Choosing Foma Ortho at any time is a recipe for contrast and that is certainly what I received. Being Ottawa and being the first day of Spring, we were treated to a tidy little snow storm – Winter’s reminder that it’s merely…

Late to the party as usual, on Sunday, I decided to give Shanghai GP3 100 a try. I was recently informed that it is somewhat reminiscent in feel of ORWO UN54 in 120 (one of my favourite films), and since UN54 in 120 seems to be getting somewhat rare, I was pretty excited to give…

Unsurprising to almost nobody, Ottawa’s downtown remains largely quiet on Friday afternoons. Since we have not been ordered back to the office all five days of the week (yet) most who have the flexibility seem to choose Fridays as one of their work-from-home days. Although I don’t have that sort of flexibility, I have to…

So after a week of my photographic expectations (hopes?) not being met (fulfilled?), I decided on Sunday morning ahead of our little errands that I would get myself back to basics and choose a combination that I am familiar enough with: T-Max 400 that I would push two stops in HC-110. No new developer. No…

As the False Spring No. 1 struggles to be born, we wait in anticipation for the first abnormally warm day of the calendar year. Although this week has been much warmer than those that preceded it, I don’t believe that the weather we have been getting qualifies as a False Spring. No, Tuesday doesn’t count…

Thursday was a bit of an odd one. It was bright and sunny, the working day was fine, and I had a haircut scheduled with my favourite-ever hairdresser in the late afternoon! What fun! That was all sort of overpowered by a few unwelcome events. First, I somehow lost the cash I had withdrawn for…

I must say: I am pleased as punch! I recently ordered yet-another-Nikkormat EL from a Japanese seller on eBay. I do this from time-to-time because they’re a bit challenging to fix and even if they weren’t, the number of film camera repair people is rather small. So when I saw the listing boast that the…

Saturday was icy. Really icy. Winter boots or no, making sure that feet remained on the ground and tea kettles over bums required a whole lot of cautious and small steps and much more concentration than normal. The walk to the Glebe from our apartment isn’t a long one, but we sure took our time…

A short roll of film can make a gal take a few risks! That sounds much more serious than I intend. Particularly when it’s cold, I prefer to use 24-frame rolls to the longer 36-frame rolls of film. Aside from it being inhospitable outside, it can shift from day-to-day. So yesterday when it cleared up…
