Starved for Colour
This image is from a few weeks ago when Winter seemed unwilling to loosen its hold. Some days you have to take colour from wherever you can find it.

A Building in the Beaches
Another image from a recent outing using Rollei Retro 80s film with a combination of red and polarizing filters on my Nikon F5, with a 28mm/f2.8 lens.

Dark Sky
I love the combination of Rollei Retro 80s and a red filter (and a polarizer). I love a dark sky and drama!

Abandoned?
Recently at the Beaches my friend Ori and I saw this child’s tricycle close the water; there were no children nearby, but it did not look like the kind of thing that would be abandoned. The combination of the bright sun, the bright colour and the amazing Agfa Portrait 160 film (frozen from 2004) makes this one of my favourite images so far this year.

The Firehouse
My good friend Bill Smith was kind enough to give me two rolls of Agfa Portrait 160 film, expired in 2004, but stored frozen. I love this film!

Still Alive
March 15th was Expired Film Day (a day to celebrate film that is long past its best before date!). It was a workday for me so I went out one day later this morning, which I think was sort of appropriate :-). I like going for the gusto so I got out a roll of AgfaPan 100 that expired in 1987 (32 years ago!). It’s box speed is 100, but I added 2 stops of exposure and then developed normally. There was a fair amount of base fog, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed in post. Rather surprised at what I got!
All images shot with a Canon Rebel TI and a Helios 44/2 58mm/f2 lens, mounted via an adapter
Chairs Near the Water
I have often photographed the chairs in the Beaches near the water. Last Saturday was a beautiful day out with friends by the water and this set of chairs caught my eye.
