This post is the 1000th on my photo blog since its inception, so I wanted to pick an image that fit the occasion. This image from recent day in Banff works for me: it reminds me that photography is a journey as much as a destination, and that the destination will always be partially hidden, awaiting discovery.

Near the Dundas West subway station in Toronto there is an elevated walkway over railway tracks, and some interesting buildings. A gritty part of town.

I recently took another walk around the grounds of the University of Toronto, this time with my Rolleiflex, loaded with Rollei RPX 100 film (Stand developed in Rodinal).

Today’s post is a variation on a theme/follow-up to yesterday’s post: the same city (Calgary), the same rainy day, and another bridge and pedestrian.

The Peace Bridge, in Calgary, on a rainy Sunday morning during my recent trip. Shot on Lomo 400 colour film, converted to black and white in post. Shot on my Hasselblad 500C/M with 50mm/4 Distagon lens, then cropped.
My next Banff image: trees by the shores of the Bow River.

There will be a few posts on Banff over the next few days. The first focuses on some black and white images, all taken on Ilford HP5+ film, using my Hasselblad 500C/M camera.
