Winter Paths
I’m happy to announce that the Exultate Chamber Singers have released a new Christmas/winter CD, Winter Paths. As a member of the choir I am doubly proud, as the cover features a photograph of mine, taken a couple of winters back with my Mamiya RZ67 medium format film camera. This is my third album cover 🙂
Physical CD’s will be available shortly, but for now it is available for purchase on iTunes.
On the Path
It was a bright (if cold) Sunday morning this past weekend, so I decided to go to High Park (and take the entrance near the Keele subway station). I had a couple of cameras with me; this image was taken with an old Pentax Spotmatic, with a 50mm/2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena lens mounted. I love the look of the images from this lens! (Shot on Kodak Tmax 400 film)
Coffee and Portrait
I met up with my friend Jennifer yesterday at a Starbucks here in Toronto, and it marked the first time I have done a portrait shoot inside a busy downtown coffee shop. I was shooting with my Kodak Medalist which does not have the closest focusing lens (but otherwise a great piece of glass). Shooting wide open at f3.5 on Kodak Tmax 400 film, developed in Xtol and post work with Nik Efex.
One More From Todmorden Mills
I decided to post one more from my visit to this great location last Sunday morning. This tree does have a great shape: to me it looks like a hand making a gesture.

Medalist at the Mill
Two more from my visit to Todmorden Mills last Saturday Morning, this time shot with my Kodak Medalist, on Respooled Tri-X A bit of fogging on the edges but not affecting the image). I love that morning light!
Morning Light
I was out this morning at Todmorden Mills; it was cool, but some amazing light to work with. One of the cameras I was using was my Mamiya Universal Press, with a 90mm/3.5 lens and a 6×9 medium format back attached. I was shooting Rollei RPX 25, a very slow speed film an with a small aperture the tripod was a necessity for the 1/4 sec or so shutter speed.

In Colour
I’ve shot the wagon wheels in Toronto’s Distillery District a number of times, but this is the first time in colour, and my first time shooting Kodak Portra 800. Shooting in 6×9 format (spooled for 620 for my Medalist) I am amazed at the tight grain structure for an 800 speed film! I will need to get more of this stock!

Autumn
In my opinion, Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film was made for autumn; there is just something about the colours. This image was taken a couple of weeks ago in High Park with my Canon P rangefinder and 35mm/2.5 Voigtlander Color Skopar lens. I developed it at home with C-41 chemistry from Argentix.ca
Solitude
Last Sunday morning on the U of T campus. Did she find solitude or did solitude find her?
