Paris (Ontario)

This town in Ontario won’t get as much press as the Paris in France, but is still worth visiting! I was out there earlier this year with some photography friends and had a lovely day.

I took all of these images with my Olympus OM-2n with a 25A red filter, on Rollei Retro 80s film.

Elora, Ontario

Earlier this spring I went to Elora, Ontario along with a few other photo friends. Walking in the park near the river gorge, the light was subtle, dim, and quite atmospheric.

Changing Seasons

A couple of weeks ago we had a very warm sunny Sunday, (at least by the standards of Toronto in March). That mean a lot of melting snow and ice, and reflections in the sunlight.

Struggling on a Wintery Day

Recently there was a film photowalk on a rather wintery day in Toronto. I was out with my nearly sixty year old Zenit 3M SLR with my 44 Helios lens. The viewfinder quickly got wet/ obscured in the snow, and it was very hard to focus. Not much was sharp that day!

A Trip to Liberty Village

I was recently visiting a friend in Liberty Village, Toronto. I took along my Olympus OM-2, loaded with a roll of Kodak Plus-X, over 20 years expired.

A Ravine of Shadows

A number of weeks ago, I went to check out Williamson Park Ravine in East Toronto not far from where I live. It was an amazing location; a very dense canopy of trees made for gloomy shadows through which the sunlight only occasionally shone.

A Moment In Time

Love locks capture a moment in time. I look at them and wonder how the stories they tell evolved. Was the permanence an illusion?

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
