  • Yesterday brought us quite a bit of snow! Beginning overnight, the snow continued to fall right into the wee hours this morning. As you might guess from these (very familiar) photos, these were made after work and – yes – I was picking up cat food and groceries. While I am admittedly getting a little…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Kathleen and I might not eat meat, but the cats sure do! That’s right, this is another kitty food mission post. Once my shift ended on Monday, it was time to do what I had been putting off: picking up more cans for food for the cats. To be fair, Martha might not have really…

  • For most of the morning on Sunday, we were caught beneath overcast skies. It was a perfect opportunity to finish the roll of Tri-X that I had begun on Saturday! Otherwise, the day was for chores. Since our office days have shifted recently, so has laundry day, so my day for doing the ironing has…

  • We didn’t get too far this past Saturday. Instead of an adventure, we dedicated ourselves to personal care and a whole bunch of errands. Everything does seem to run out at the same time, doesn’t it? After my monthly brow appointment, we headed down Bank Street toward Hartman’s Massine’s to pick up a few things…

  • Contrary to what my phone’s weather app was telling me, when I looked out the windows this morning, I was greeted by a fairly heavy overcast instead of a mix of sun and clouds. Undaunted, I still made photos while Kathleen and I were out running errands this morning (seitan tacos!) and developed the roll…

  • Since we were expecting the skies to be overcast on Saturday’s adventure to Pine Hill, we decided to give our film a little two-stop push so that we would not be stuck with fully-open apertures in a darkened forest area. Of course – the best-laid plans – about one third the way through our rolls,…

  • I became more and more aware that the days of my vacation were slipping away last Friday, and decided that it was time to get out for another walk and take advantage. It was (mostly) cloudy and I wanted to use the new D-96 I had mixed earlier in the week, so I chose to…
