It has been a while since I last tried hand colouring. I took a different approach this time: rather than using Marshall photo oils on a darkroom print, I tried a matte photo paper inkjet print, and pencil crayons. Some further work will be needed to see what works and what doesn’t.

I have decided to post one last image from the Chinese Garden in Vancouver, exploring the frame within the frame.
Also a, promo for my podcast MPP (My Photography Podcast). It has morphed from a personal diary show to more of a photography show, but personal elements will always remain.

This wood by the water at Wreck Beach had the look of a claw to me.

Back to the Wreck Beach in Vancouver for this one. When I posted this image in a Facebook group, I got a comment back that the bird in the middle seemed like a “spot of life.” Seems like a good title to me 🙂

There are a number of these sets of chairs at the Toronto Beaches, and I have featured them a couple of times in the past. This is how they caught my eye in the winter.

On Saturday I took my Mamiya RZ67 down to the Beaches. It was a very still, very grey day, and sometimes it was hard to see where the water ended and the sky began.

This post is a series of images taken in Toronto a couple of weeks back in the mid-late afternoon. I love the sun when it is at a low angle; it imposes a sense of drama on downtown buildings. All images taken with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 on Ilford HP5+ film, developed in LegacyPro MicX developer.
Two more images from Wreck Beach in Vancouver. Beaches by their nature are arenas of change, a battleground for erosion and climate.

Another image from Wreck Beach. There are many sections of the Beach which are covered in large rocks. I felt any any moment I would trip and fall, resulting in a broken ankle and/or smashed camera. Luckily neither happened 🙂

This sculpture is on English Bay Beach, Vancouver. I shot the roll with this image the day I found out my friend Bob Goyetche had passed away, but I only developed it this week. I was numbed and in shock that morning (like a lot of people that day). I feel the tragedy of that day imposed a symbolism on everything I saw.
