I had this roll of film sitting in my Rolleiflex for a few weeks and finally finished it yesterday, and developed it last night. This row of trees is one of the more photographed spots in High Park; easy to see why!

Yesterday I had a lovely shoot with my friend Zoe. I shot two cameras, my newly acquired Hasselblad 500 C/M, and my Mamiya RZ67. Both make great portrait cameras, and on a tripod the weight difference makes no difference. A portrait is not about the camera though, and just like last time, Zoe gave some beautiful and interesting expressions. More to come 🙂

Different camera, different pose and different lighting. Same friend at Podcamp 2016 this past weekend. 🙂 (Sylvain)

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

…and I seem to keep coming back to it. This is how the gazebo in the Beaches looked on a cold New Year’s day morning.
