Another Three Portraits of Jennifer
Today another three portraits if my good friend and frequent collaborator Jennifer. This shoot was a experiment on two fronts: it was the first time I tried shooting a hand-held portrait with my 4×5 Speed Graphic and 127mm/4.7 Kodak Ektar lens, and it was the first time I tried shooting some Fuji NC 160 4×5 colour sheet film I’ve had for a while.
Portrait in the Pub
Today a portrait of my friend and fellow podcaster Mike, taken in a pub using my Pentax ME 35mm camera. I haven’t used this camera much recently but got it out for the April episode of the Classic Camera Revival podcast, where Pentax was the topic of the day. The lens was a 50mm/1.7 and I was shooting wide-open on Tri-X film.
Shore Stripes
A large (temporary) pond is making the Beaches an interesting place right now. Planning to go back with a medium format camera later this week!

Toronto in Colour
This image is from the first roll of colour film I’ve developed at home in quite a while. The ice rink at Nathan Phillips Square is long gone, but the water for the summer has not been topped up, so this in-between time made for some great reflections.

I also talk about C-41 home colour processing with my kit from Argentix.
Building in Sunlight
I like the look of buildings in bright morning sunlight: angles and edges look especially sharp and defined. This is Metropolitan United Church in downtown Toronto.

Extremes
I love the extreme perspective that the Nikkor 20m/2.8 lens gives to even the most commonplace of structures

Outside the Graveyard
The combination of the glove and the spike on the fence caught my eye.
