I recently bought some Lomography brand C-41 400 speed colour film and am happy with the results so far! This image was taken inside the Greenhouse in the Allan Gardens in Toronto. I used my Rolleiflex 3.5E3, with a Rollinar #2 close-up lens attached.
I have seen this busker on the Boardwalk before.

Like I said in a previous post, street photography is outside of my comfort zone, but I am working on it. One observation that I and others have made is that if you are shooting with a film camera you get treated with less suspicion by passersby than if you are shooting with a digital camera / smartphone. These images were created with my Rolleiflex and my Hasselblad.
There of are photographer friends of mine who are absolutely fearless when it comes to asking strangers if they can take their photograph. I find that very difficult and have to force myself to do it. When I saw this gentlemen near the boardwalk in the Beaches I had to ask if I could take his picture, and the answer was yes. 🙂

Recently on a business trip to Lethbridge, Alberta I had a bit of time to do some photography, so here are two bridges I like: one is the famous (and huge) railway trestle bridge, and the other is a small bridge in a park close to my hotel.

A bright day on Saturday made for a lot of interesting reflections and distortions on the plexiglass at the entrance to the Dupont subway station in Toronto.

I was recently asked by a friend if I could do some family pictures for her. Her daughter is autistic, and the love and support my friend and her husband give her is undeniable, as is the love their daughter gives them back in return. Neither of these two images were planned poses, and I had to rush to capture the first one (resulting in less than perfect framing).

Here are three more images from last week’s Street photography workshop. To me, each expression either tells a story, hints at a story, or leaves you wondering what the story is. All shot with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3, on Rollei RPX400 film.
Last week I was at a Street Photography workshop. Btu so far my favourite images are not those of strangers on the street, but of fellow photographers. All images taken with Rolleiflex 3.5 E3 (Xenotar lens) on Rollei RPX 400 film.
