I never tire of how the Banff Springs Hotel merges so nicely with the mountain landscape.
Both images taken with Canon P 35mm rangefinder and 15mm/4.5 Voigtlander SuperWide Heliar lens

Taylor Creek
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.

Forgotten Frames
I had no idea what was on the roll of film this image came from when I developed it. I do like the complicated light in this image.

Framing Trees
Back to Lethbridge Alberta: I love frames within a photograph, and the way these trees on either side framed the more distant view was very appealing to me when I saw it.

The Water Treatment Plant
It was a grey chilly day on Sunday, and the architecture of the water filtration plant in the Beaches seemed especially foreboding.

Two Arches
It was a very bright day in downtown Toronto today, and the low midwinter sun made for start,dramatic lighting. I loved how the sun was hitting the front arch in this space on the Esplanade.

Another Bridge
Bridges and Footpaths (like this one in a park in Lethbridge) always seem to catch my eye

The Silence of Snow and Ice
This image was taken in a park in Lethbridge, Alberta on a Sunday morning in my recent trip out west. The trees were covered in a frost from a combination of fog and very low temperatures. There was no wind, and the sky was softly overcast. The silence was lovely.

Banff 4: Black and White versus Colour
When I was in Banff in terms of film I was shooting black and white, not colour; the only colour images I shot were with my iPhone, so here is a comparison of almost the exact same image, one taken with my Rolleiflex, the other with my iPhone. I know colour is more popular these days, but there is still something about black and white that makes it my “mother tongue” as far as photography is concerned.
Banff 3: The Bridge
For my third image from Banff, here is a foot bridge. There is some flare, but I don’t mind it. I like the shadow lines š
