Beach Furniture

I liked the look of what appeared to be a roughly made chair by the water’s edge; in the stark morning light it looked like a marker or monument of some kind.

The Soul of Scotland

I took a picture of this gentleman outside of Edinburgh Castle. He is not wearing a kilt or playing bagpipes, but to me his expression seems to show the essence of the Scottish character.

On My Feet Again!

A break from my Scotland images šŸ™‚ I was finally well enough after my back injury a couple of weeks ago to go out for a shoot, so it was off to the Beaches.

A Pleasant Jumble

After the glass and steel grid that makes up so much of Toronto, the town of Lerwick in the Scottish Shetland Islands is such a delightful change! All these images were taken with my Rolleiflex E3 camera, on some of my final rolls of Kodak Plus-X film

I’ve been to these tracks many times. First time I’ve shot them in infrared.

Looking at the Future

(Scheduled post while I’m away).

Recently I was done by the lake and saw this young couple: as they looked out upon the calm waters, I wondered if they were looking at a future together.

The Don River

This past weekend on another gloriously sunny day I went out to do some more infrared shooting; I am definitely binging!

A Different Infrared Look

Yesterday I went down to the Beaches with a couple of cameras loaded wih EFKE 820 Aura infrared film. This film is no longer made, and the remaining rolls are fetching high prices on eBay etc. I had three rolls of this stock, two years past date and not cold-stored, so there is no way the film should have worked, but it did šŸ™‚
