  • I’ve waxed poetic enough about Bread By Us‘ focaccia that I don’t think I have to say that if we’re in Hintonburg (now Wellington West) for bread, it’s for that. This roll, an *almost* on this day from last year, not only saw us out to this nice neighbourhood to the west of us, but…

  • It happens every year, but not at the same time and it doesn’t seem all that predictable. That is a desire – no, need – to make photos escapes me. It can happen when everything around seems too samey, when I don’t have a sort of technical goal (i.e. developing slide), when I don’t feel…

  • Nearing the peak of a recent heatwave, it might be a little curious that this past Saturday’s adventure related to hot beverages. With the benefit of almost-sweaty hindsight, I’m now as confused as you might be! After my regular brow appointment, we headed west toward Preston Street so I could make photos along the way.…

  • A few frames from a visit we took to the National Gallery while my Mom was visiting, now just over four years ago. I had wanted to make this a true “on this day”, but did not finish the re-scan until this morning. When I got the results back from this roll that I had…

  • As luck would have it (or was it better process?), the fourth roll developed in my C-41 Eco Kit turned out just as expected! No peach-orange mottling, no clear discolouration, no nothing – just colour negative as I would expect it! I am still reluctant to finish out the remaining four rolls worth of strength…

  • It is a significant improvement, but not a solution. As you might have seen in two previous posts, I’ve been having trouble with Flic Film’s C-41 “Eco” kit. Chatting back and forth with some kind people online, it seems like this particular kit can be a little fussy with a few oddball emulsions like, *ahem*,…

  • A few photos from an uneventful workweek. And I believe that the problem I’ve had with the C-41 Eco Kit may actually be a problem with some fussier colour negative films. I developed a roll of Flic Film Aurora 400 this afternoon, which appears entirely fine. CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing Pentax K2SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7Flic Film Elektra 100Flic…

  • While still quite warm (and still getting over some mystery bug I may have shared), yesterday was a lovely day to be out an about. Kathleen and I decided to pay a visit a Queer Market at the Next Door Event Space at the edge of Hintonburg. After seemingly everywhere else having had their Pride…

  • While FP4+ is fine in HC-110, I think when I started developing it in D-96, I found my favourite pairing.
