Off Season

In the vicinity of Taylor Creek Park is a skateboarding park. At this time of year it doesn’t seem to get a whole lot of action, at least not on a Sunday morning.

Back to the Bench

Sunday morning was bright and dazzling in East York, so I went for a quick outing with my Rolleiflex to Taylor Creek Park. I was drawn again to a forlorn bench.

Still Life Project

I have decided to start a still life project this week. Not bowls of fruit and bottles of wine (not that there is anything wrong with those as subjects of course!) But objects I find interesting. This is a manual drill that belonged to my late father-in-law, who could make or repair anything.

A Park in St. Louis

I finally finished a roll that that been sitting in my Rolleiflex for a number of months, long enough that I had forgotten that it had some images of St. Louis. I am finding that Kodak TMX 400 film and Microdol-X developer make a nice combination!

Refusing to Die

On the shores of Lake Ontario, this tree is more stump than anything, but still manages to produce a few leaves. There is nothing strong than the will to live it seems. From a technical point of view, I do like the combination of Microdol-X developer and HP5+.
