A Face From the Past?

Humans are great when it comes to superimposing external patterns on random structures. To me these holes in the rocks at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta looked like a face, even down to the teeth.

Dinosaur Provincial Park

For the second day in the row, two smartphone images (both using the Hipstamatic app), with the promise of film images to come once I get home. Today it was a trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. The Badlands are amazing!


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 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.
