Both the beginning and end of the story are missing.
And I am marooned in the moment.

The Dark Path
To travel in the dark, but never leave it,
in a hole where the sun is just a rumour.
The tunnel endless as the night.

Shot by the shores of Lake Ontario a couple of weeks ago.

Portrait of a Podcaster
Today’s post features recent portraits of my friend Paulette Michayluk, who along with Bill Smith and I make up the team behind the Defend the Darkroom podcast. Paulette is a talented printer and artist in her own right as well.

Reflection vs. Reality
I am in Virginia for technical training all week, and I like the view from the office tower, and the fact that most of it is a reflection. I just used my Samsung smartphone for this image.
Portrait of Bill
The latest in my series of Natural Light/Available Light portraits with the Sony A7ii and Nikkor 50mm/f1.4 Pre-AI lens. This is my good friend and fellow photographer Bill Smith.
There is just something about the way this lens renders!
School is Not in Session
This post is rather political. I am firmly on the side of the teachers in the dispute in Ontario. The image below is how Ford wants to see our classroom.

Portrait of a Friend Number Two
A week or so after I took this portrait, I was back in the Only Cafe, same gear, and took another portrait, this time of another good friend Bryon.

Empty Spaces
Two images from the Hotel/Convention Centre in Nashville last week. Both images taken with Sony A7ii, 28-70mm Sony lens.
In the Bath
To anyone reading the title and expecting a boudoir image (or dreading a nude selfie!), the title of this post refers to my first time developing film with Cinestill Df96 Monobath. Instead of a separate developer, stop bath and fixer, this monobath does it all in one step, and requires less rinse time (and less water) afterwards. I can see myself using this product a lot! The images below are from a roll shot in Niagara-On-the-Lake, that I had not gotten around to processing. Glad I waited!
