This image is from a visit to High Park in the fall of 2015. The combination of the Rollei RPX 25 film, Rodinal developer and the Zeiss Sonnar 50mm/1.5 lens mounted on my Contax IIIa made for very good sharpness, I love these slow speed films! (I left the sprockets etc. in the scan because I liked the way it looks 🙂 ).
Last Saturday in Milton I was struck by the geometric patterns of the pipes etc. on this wall, with the bright sunlight and contrasty film throwing them into stark relief.

This past Saturday I met up with my fellow hosts of the Classic Camera Revival podcast to record future episodes and go for a photo walk. We met up in Milton, which has this great park downtown, including a no longer used, but preserved stretch of rail.

The low sun of a Canadian winter can make for some interesting shadows.

From an outing last weekend in Taylor Creek Park, Toronto. A rather ramshackle path over some very slippery, icy ground. Which path is more risky?

A few years ago I did a photoshoot with model Sarah D. who was recovering from a double lung transplant that she had due to Cystic Fibrosis. I was impressed by her strength and depth of character. I just found out that she has passed away, waiting for a second transplant, after the first failed. Feeling sad. The posts are below (NSFW due to partial nudity)
This was alive once.

I never tire of how the Banff Springs Hotel merges so nicely with the mountain landscape.

Taylor Creek this morning was a creek on the verge: on the verge of melting and on the verge of freezing at the same time. Add some reflections and some wood and it really caught my eye.
