Two more from Glen Stewart Park in the Beaches. I will have to return to this location at various times in the spring and summer as the view changes. Both images taken with Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm/4 Distagon lens on TMax 100 film. Toned in post

The Path of Trees
I had this roll of film sitting in my Rolleiflex for a few weeks and finally finished it yesterday, and developed it last night. This row of trees is one of the more photographed spots in High Park; easy to see why!

TMax 400 film @ E.I. 200, slight pull in development
High Contrast
This image taken at the Beaches seemed to work better for me cropped and with higher contrast, to make the horizon line a bit indistinct.

Bird On the Rocks
I tend not to do a lot of bird photography, but this caught my eye this past Saturday down at the Beaches.

Changing Gear
I finally broke down and got a Hasselblad. Because I am on a self-imposed new gear diet for 2016, the only way to make this happen was to sell some gear. It was a difficult decision, but I think the Hassy and I will get along just fine 🙂

Revisiting a Negative
This image from an early winter morning at the shores of Lake Ontario in February 2014 is from a roll I scanned with my older scanner; I was not happy with how they looked, but recently I rescanned with my new scanner. Much happier now 🙂

Last Dance
I was going to call this post “Break-up Sex” but that was too much like click-bait. In order to finance getting a Hasselblad kit, I am thinning the herd and one of the kits being moved was was Mamiya Pro TL 645. I took it out for one last time on Sunday and shot a couple of rolls, and now it is sold and gone. Mixed emotions but I want that Hasselblad!

Colour Riot
I’ve mentioned before that black and white is my photographic mother tongue, but it is fun to go on a colour riot from time to time. This is a detail of multiple layers of graffiti, in Toronto’s Bloor and Keele area.

Curved Bench
I like this bench (at a Park near the Beaches). At some point I will need to go back with a view camera and stop right down to get it all sharp.

Winter Sun
There is something about winter sun in Toronto (other than the fact we don’t get a lot of it). I love its brightness and clarity. I also love the way Rollei RXP 25 film picks it up. This image is from a couple of weeks ago, taken near the Beaches with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3.
