…home again, home again… 🎶 I wasn’t really feeling in on Saturday, so instead of visiting the Chinatown Night Market this weekend, we set more modest goals. Kathleen was in need of some more tea, so we decided to take a little walk down to the Market to visit the Tea Store and a few…

So it turns out that it’s possible that the almost twenty-year-old forum advice was correct: noodling with the exposure compensation dial on the Pentax ES II might have done the trick. I didn’t make many photos on Saturday when Kathleen and I paid visit to a suburban shopping area (bulk loaded ~12 frames), the camera…

My lesson-of-the-day on Thursday was that the Pentax ES II might not be just a temperature princess, but like its owner, a bit of a princess-princess. For the first time since winter, I had one frame where the shutter just stayed open, and in a new twist, several frames where it underexposed. Before I knew…

We were just happy to be out in the lovely weather. As we were walking through Sandy Hill, I’d pause to make a photo or we’d wait to cross the street, look around, take a deep breath, and sigh contentedly. It made for a nice morning and when we lingered inside of the Happy Goat,…

After what felt like a bit of a delay, this May Long kicked off “real” Spring with an explosion of colour. Since Kathleen and I have been out and about more lately, we hadn’t made any particular plans for our Saturday Adventure outside of knowing that “it should be somewhere we haven’t gone lately”. Without…

Having been sufficiently thrilled by the squill, I proceeded back home to enjoy catching up with my Mom on the phone (as we do most Sundays) and to have my lunch of a little egg salad-like sandwich made of leftover tofu scramble. After that, it was off to the National Arts Centre, which was hosting…

Why? Because Spring is here! The Spring that is about to explode with colour. The trees well-and-truly awaken and the view from my balcony goes from brown-and-sticks to bright treen to deep green in what feels like two or three weeks. …and even more to my delight, the flowers! The flowers! From the beds planted…

On Saturday, Kathleen and I had one thing on our minds for our adventure: paying a visit to 613flea to look for, well, more dresses and skirts, sure, but our mail goal was delicious vegan treats from some of the vendors there. Any my gosh, did we ever find what we were looking for! From…

That makes at least two of us. You might remember the reliability challenges I had earlier this winter with the Pentax ES II in January and February, which were mostly that at some point through the roll, the shutter would begin to remain open. Not every time, or course (that would be too easy), but…

Thursday was a bit of an odd one. It was bright and sunny, the working day was fine, and I had a haircut scheduled with my favourite-ever hairdresser in the late afternoon! What fun! That was all sort of overpowered by a few unwelcome events. First, I somehow lost the cash I had withdrawn for…
