  • On This Day: Bright Lights Promise Spring

    There’s something to the afternoon light in March that fills my mind with promise. Promise of Spring, even if we’re bound to have a few of winter’s last gasps along the way. The photos today – made on this day in 2023 – are from such a bright March day. The sun was bright, the…

  • One Montreal Morning (Cont’d)

    For the sake of completion: scans from the second roll on that one morning in Montreal in May 2023. Even more so than the first roll, this one really helped to cement that: I don’t make opportunity photos very well and the two rolls were somewhat disappointing. I might have also benefited from a longer…

  • One Montreal Morning

    It was now almost four years ago that Kathleen and I attended a friend’s wedding in Montreal. We had a lovely time and the ceremony and reception were quite beautiful. Due to the COVID-19-era spike in hotel prices, instead of a two-or-three day vacation, we only made it a quick overnight. Me being me, this…

  • Three Days, One Camera, Three Lenses, One Film, One Stop

    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…

  • On A Quiet Remembrance Day Walk

    Photos from a roll made during a quiet walk around the neighbourhood on Remembrance Day, last year. As part of an effort to determine whether or not my developing last Fall was all that bad, or if my scanning was, I have been re-scanning some of these rolls. So far, it seems to be a…

  • The Dollar General’s Dishonourable Discharge

    There was a time when every camera bag had at least one forgotten roll of film floating around somewhere in one of its pockets. Sometimes it was a “just in case” roll and sometimes evidence of inspiration falling short of ambition. You might have come across a sale at Woolco. Coming back to film in…

  • Bright Lights, Slower Film

    Continuing on with our heatwave (seriously, someone please turn it down), yesterday morning, I decided to load a roll of Ilford PanF+ into the Nikkormat with a 28mm lens to take advantage of the bright sun, but juuuuust before the temperatures returned to their uncomfortably sweaty highs.
