…once Kathleen and I decided that we had our fill of tulips and crowds and crowds and crowds, and having been startled by an unexpected-to-us RCAF flyover, we decided to make our way against the crowds back up Preston Street, where we still had one stop to make. Our dinner that evening was to be…

If there’s one thing I know, I’ve tended to be silent on this blog about my love for Spring and for all that is floral. Nope. I never post about how much I can’t wait for the flowers to come out or for it to be sunny. 😶 😶 ☺️🌷 This weekend marked the beginning…

For my second roll exposed for the #FP4Party, I felt that the mostly overcast (and occasionally snowy) conditions called for giving the medium-speed film a little push. Not too much, just under 2 stops, but enough to give me the flexibility needed to avoid having to open the lens’s aperture fully. It was a familiar…

With plans to meet up with my sister later that morning, I struck out around 8 in search of breakfast. I won’t lie: it was cold. Really cold. Bitter, bitter, bitter winds, snow, the works. I shivered, cursed the unexpected early-April cold snap, and proceeded to make photos all the same. It’s what I do!…

Having thoroughly enjoyed our nachos, we decided to slowly walk back toward Yonge. Instead of walking straight down college, we decided to take a detour through Kensington. This was in part so that she could show me her favourite second-hand/vintage clothing stores (something I requested, since I am in dire need of skirts), and in…

After a few expected delays, I arrived in Toronto at about 10 minutes to 2. My sister met me at the train station and after the squeeziest hug you can imagine, she handed me a nice hot camomile tea with almond milk, and we proceeded to the hotel so that I could check in to…

Earlier this week, I boarded a train bound for Toronto. It was a rare adventure taken on my own, with Kathleen remaining at home. The reason for the trip was to pay my younger sister a visit and because I am supposed to be undergoing surgery later this year, we’ve been sparing travel expenses and…

Without an adventure planned, our Saturday was mostly dedicated to running errands to ensure we had what we needed for the long weekend and in advance of my little visit to Toronto on Monday. …and as I wrote yesterday, I wanted to test a fresh batch of C-41 I mixed up so that I would…

After Wednesday’s disappointing-to-me roll, rather than fall back on something familiar on Thursday, I decided to try something new. Thanks to a review written by Alex Luyckx earlier in the summer, I became interested in trying out FX-37, a developer that promises to “provide the highest acutance for T-grained film stocks like Kodak, T-Max, Ilford…

On Saturday, Kathleen and I took a little trip to Kingston! The last time we did, it was for a slightly-belated anniversary getaway in April 2024 (8 years!), and we took the Via to get there and back. But for the uneven weather, we had a lovely visit and promised to return. This time, because…
