Since the sun was out yesterday (*finally!*), as a treat, I chose a slower film from the fridge to load for our frigid New Years Day walk around the neighbourhood. To increase the risk of disappointment a little, I chose one that I had never used before: Astrum NK-2SH. Since I’ve used other Astrum films…

I have many little goals that I’d like to accomplish in 2026, and among them is to get a little better with wider-angle lenses. If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, it is probably obvious that I’m most comfortable with 50mm lenses (or equivalent: like 75/80mm on 120) and quite enjoy portrait lengths, like…

For Kathleen and I, this Christmas went over exactly as we had planned it to, cementing our holiday traditions. On Christmas Eve, we ordered ourselves some delicious vegan food from Wei’s Noodle House on Somerset and enjoyed it as we watched The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) and It’s A Wonderful Life (1946). It was our…

As I wrote yesterday, we had one more stop planned after our delicious lunch at Tea & Cake: the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum! It certainly doesn’t take much convincing for Kathleen and I to visit a museum: after all, we did meet at Carleton during a Masters’ program in history, where, as TAs, we shared…

One week after the snow dashed our plans, Kathleen and I were able to go on our little Hallmark Christmas Lesbian AdventureTM this Saturday! Although the wind made the temperatures feel quite cold, it all came on the heels of a bit of a warm spell. It even rained quite a bit to the end…

There was one reason. One reason I had for putting a roll of film into the Pentax Espio 90MC. (*That* Pentax Espio 90MC.) Yes, the one I received for free in 2021 from a local camera shop that was winding down operations and was including free cameras with purchase. Even if the lens didn’t have…

Once we left the gallery, we headed down Murray Street toward Khao Thai for some lunch. It’s not entirely often that we know exactly what we want, often standing there sort of buffering with indecision or an maybe even an unwillingness to make the first move on a meal out, but on Saturday we knew…

So, contrary to our plans, we did *not* make it Almonte yesterday. Snow began accumulating overnight and did not stop until the following night. Seeing it fall yesterday morning, however magical it was, we quickly grew uncertain whether or not the roads would be alright. Knowing that our rental car would not have winter tires…

This past Wednesday was a snowy day, and it didn’t really stop for long. Today was also a snowy one. The virtual whiteout on this blog should be sufficient evidence that getting out to make photos in these conditions is delightful! So that afternoon, once I finished my shift, I decided to go another route…

There’s no doubt about it! Kathleen and I are “no longer the tough and determined ladies of our [*ahem*] younger years.” We had plans yesterday. Plans like visiting the Christmas Market as Lansdowne, that would have seen us outside for a good part of the late morning. We pictured ourselves with a nice beverage, browsing…
