Hamilton, Ontario is still saddled (unfairly in my opinion) with the reputation of being a gritty and unattractive city. I think the opposite is true: it is a city of fascinating architecture and splashes of colour, even in the most mundane items.

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.

Lomography 400 Colour film converted to Black and White in post
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.
Recently while on my most recent business trip to Lethbridge, Alberta I went back to the Japanese Garden, this time with my Hasselblad 500C/M. It is a lovely spot, an oasis of calm.
The Hasseblad shoots twelve images per roll, and so I’ve decided to post one complete roll here; it’s rare that I am happy with all the images on a single roll. This film in this case is Kodak Portra 400.

I have always liked images with inner framing, and this view near Roy Thomson Hall caught my eye recently.

I do like reflections. Both images taken using my Olympus XA 35mm rangefinder camera, on Bergger BRF 400+ film (gifted from my photographer friend Bill Smith)
