Autumn

In my opinion, Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film was made for autumn; there is just something about the colours. This image was taken a couple of weeks ago in High Park with my Canon P rangefinder and 35mm/2.5 Voigtlander Color Skopar lens. I developed it at home with C-41 chemistry from Argentix.ca

Solitude

Last Sunday morning on the U of T campus. Did she find solitude or did solitude find her?

Complicated Light

Another image from my walk around the University of Toronto campus on Sunday morning. This is a doorway at Trinity College. I loved the dappled, complicated light I was seeing that morning!

Sharp Light

Yesterday afternoon was a lovely sunny fall day, with a low sun that created interesting hard-edged shadows with a lot of crispness It would have made outdoors portraiture tough, but for what I was shooting at the University of Toronto campus it was perfect.

Plant in the Light

Another image from Taylor Creek Park. Shooting the Helios 44 wide open gave a soft effect that I quite like for a lot of the plant

End of Season

This image was created in Taylor Creek Park, no far from where we live in East York. For much of the last few days it has been warm and sunny, but it is still autumn.

Back to Ann Arbor

It wasn’t the nicest weather in Ann Arbor for the FPP meet-up, so getting into the covered arcade was a nice break.

Is This It?

On the bus, going to work in the dark at 6:30 in the morning. I so often see the hollow fatigue of those around me. Are they wondering if this is the totality of their existence?
