Hard to get the contrast and tone right; hope I’m close. This is a challenging negative.

Same Chairs, Different Season
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.

Winter Dock
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.

The Stark Sun
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.
The World of a Child
As I have said before, I don’t often get to create portraits of children, but this past weekend I had the chance to do so with the daughter of a friend in Calgary. My eight year old subject was engaging and enthusiastic, allowing me into her world, and certainly had an interest in the old camera I was using.

Different Light
The last time I had the chance to shoot the Peace Bridge in Calgary it was a grey, drizzly day. Last Sunday morning I lucked out and the low-angled late fall sun made for some great lighting.

The End of a Season
Vancouver in November is definitely off-season. I wouldn’t call the feeling a malaise, just a sense that the party is over.

Skyline
Today’s post is the first in a series of film images taken during my time in Vancouver, B.C. last week. Although it did not rain the entire time, there was not a lot of sun, and for the most part the light was measured in degrees of overcast. This image is from Stanley Park.

On the Road Again
I thought this image was well suited for today, as I fly back to Calgary for work for a week, then on to Vancouver for a break. It’s two weeks away from the darkroom and the scanner, so except for a couple of images in the queue the blog will slow down for a bit, or perhaps there will be a few smartphone images. 🙂

Fall Colours …. in Black and White
Fall was made for colour film, but there is still a hidden world waiting in black and white. These two images to my eyes show a different view of autumn.
