…and as quickly as I celebrated Friday’s sunshine, nature, always finding a way, decided that I was overstimulated and had quite enough Vitamin D for the next while. In other words, when I woke up on Saturday morning, we were back to our secular winter default of heavy overcast and snow of varying weights and…

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…

*Usually*, when the sun comes out in December or January, I make sure to get outside to make photos – no matter how cold. And it’s usually cold: bright and sunny winter days are the cold ones. But it’s a dry cold. At least that’s what I tell myself. Still, my favourite seasonal light is…

The last roll of film I ever had developed by a lab was a roll of Kodak ColorPlus I made while Kathleen and I were out on our annual fall walk through Pine Hill at Rockcliffe Park. The scans provided were not to my taste, but it was not until recently that I took the…

Slowly but surely, I continue to re-scan rolls of photos I’ve made in the past. These are from a particularly toasty walk up Agricola and a sort of day-one lesson that Halifax can get a little too hot in August. There is a reason we go in September now!

…and speaking of memories and Moon Mist, Kathleen and I will be heading back to Nova Scotia in just under one month for a nice visit. Since, until yesterday, the weather has been hot, humid, and often smoky, making photographs hasn’t exactly been something I’ve dedicated significant amounts of time to. It’s *really* unpleasant to…

Pasta earrings in hand, err, box, we were getting a bit hungry. After learning that Maipai would definitely not be a possibility (the next reservation was available June 1!), we decided that since we were heading home the next morning, that we’d just eat closer to the hotel and turn in early. Which was still…

In spite of the mercurial weather, I ended up making more photos than I had anticipated. A quick stop at our hotel for more film, and we were ready to spend a little time at the Art Gallery of Hamilton! The Helen McNicoll exhibition was particularly lovely. Though more than 70 years apart, many of…

As you might be able to tell from the photos above, we did not make it to see any of the city’s fine waterfalls. You might say that the falls came to us. At least in part. In the form of rain! The walk to the Wentworth Stairs was much longer than anticipated, which as…

Saturday was our last full day in Hamilton and on vacation away and, given this spring’s weather on the whole, it seems fitting that we’d be teased. At least a little. By the weather. Since rain was in the forecast, we planned for a mix of indoor and outdoor things to do. First things first,…
