The first real snow of the season never really lasts. When the temperatures are playing jump-rope with freezing, we’re always bound to get some accumulation, but it’s just as likely to melt within a day or two. That’s what happened two years ago in 2023, when on the 8th, it was chilly and bare, but…

Gosh! Fall is usually when I get a bit more photographic wind in my sails, but so far this year, its mostly doldrums. Neither the excitement of slide nor the wholesome delight of pumpkins have conjured much more than a light breeze. This past Sunday, we took a little walk through Sandy Hill to enjoy…

This Sunday afternoon, I took a solo adventure to the National Gallery. Kathleen was with a friend at a Victorian hair art workshop and there was one exhibit I wanted to see before it closes next Monday. I actually had an opportunity to see this exhibit earlier in the year in a session with its…

Since my making photos has remained somewhat slow as of late, an ‘on this day’ from last summer. It was a nice Monday morning and I was on a little break to keep body and soul together. Looking at the overcast skies, I thought the rolls of T-Max in the fridge would be perfect to…

No matter how much I enjoy visiting Hintonburg and spending time there, I think I have to admit that I also do not find it very inspiring for the purposes of making photos. Looking back at my photos of the area over the last 10-12 years, it seems to have been this way since the…

I have had a few rolls of long-ago-expired Velvia 50 in the freezer for, oh, about four years now. I purchased it from a local seller for a good price knowing that it met its date somewhere around 2009. When expired, this film often has a fairly heavy red or magenta cast that I don’t…

Thursday would be our last day in town and given that neither I nor Kathleen had ever seen Peggy’s Cove, we decided that it would be a fun little day trip to close off our vacation.

After an okay lunch at Fisherman’s Cove, we dropped my mom back off at her condo and returned to where we were staying to finish out a nice evening. Our next (and final) day would be a little visit to Peggy’s Cove. CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing Nikkormat ELNikkor-S.C.

Before leaving the Heritage Farm, we stopped into the tea house and merchandise shop, where Kathleen had a little chat with some of the staff. …and of course, a little merch in the form of a comfy sweatshirt! Our route was Marine Drive, where we were going to bring my mom to Cow Bay (where…

(It has been a while since I posted some photos from last year’s visit to Halifax!) The following day, we were going to do something we hadn’t really managed to do yet: visit the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum (when it was open). In addition to the fact that we find historical re-creation villages, farms,…
