Abandoned?

Recently at the Beaches my friend Ori and I saw this child’s tricycle close the water; there were no children nearby, but it did not look like the kind of thing that would be abandoned. The combination of the bright sun, the bright colour and the amazing Agfa Portrait 160 film (frozen from 2004) makes this one of my favourite images so far this year.

The Firehouse

My good friend Bill Smith was kind enough to give me two rolls of Agfa Portrait 160 film, expired in 2004, but stored frozen. I love this film!

New Year’s Day, 2019

Another January 1st, another trip out with a film camera as is my New Year’s Day tradition. This year I went to the Beaches, and the weather cooperated.

Back to the Firehall

I’ve never gotten a photo of the old firehall in the Beaches that I’ve been wholly happy with, but this one from earlier this fall is about as close as I’ve come, I think.
