I was in the Beaches again this past weekend, and my lens of choice was my 58mm/f2 Helios 44/2. I love the overall look and swirl of this lens when used wide open!

A Change in Approach
I shoot mainly film, but also digital and iPhone, and I have decided to stop listing the gear I used to create an image unless it is key to the story. If you are are really curious about the gear, just leave a comment and I will respond.
There is too much digital vs film, brand x vs brand y, format vs. format nonsense going on. I am getting off that bus.
These two images come from a walk yesterday in the midday heat.
After the Rain Again
Seen at lunch time on our front porch.
Two Statues
Two close-ups of statues by graves in a cemetery in Toronto. Sad, weathered expressions, waiting for hope.
Both images taken with my Olympus OM-4T, on Rollei Retro 80s film, developed in Rodinal
Early Morning Flowers
I like shooting flowers earlier in the day, when a direct sun is not beating down. All images taken with my Sony AR7ii, and an Olympus Zuiko 50mm/f3.5 macro lens.
After the Rain
I was out recently early in the morning. It had rained overnight, and I love the look of raindrops on plants, especially in black and white.
Only Halfway Here
As the pandemic slogs on, I am finding I am only halfway here, a living ghost, hoping life can resume.

Olympus 4T
I have added an Olympus OM-4T to the stable, and this image was taken with my Sigma 90mm/2.8 lens. I love the way this lens renders!

Trees on a Winter Morning
It was a bright sunny day this morning, so good for a quick outing in the neighbourhood.
