Week 17 Olympus XA and Ilford HP5+ at the seaside

This is my 3rd 52 rolls post within the hour, I think that is enough for today…. I am really happy with these shots, this was the first black and white film I had ran through my Olympus XA (More to come) Enjoy  

Week 16: Holga 120GCFN and ilford HP5+

I have finally got round to developing a whole load of films so expect to see a lot from me in the next couple of days!   These were taken with my one of my  favourite cameras the Holga 120GCFN and my favourite black and white film Ilford HP5+.  Photos were taken on a dog walk…

Week #27 My first large format pinhole shots

  I’ve been interested in large format pinhole photography ever since I saw some fellow pinholers in action at WWPD in Amsterdam. Buying a camera and getting started was something I didn’t do for some reason. It kind of scared me. Would it be difficult to put film in a cassette? How would I develop…

52:320TXP – Week 30 – The Last Blockhouse

Located a handful of kilometers from the US/Canada border sits a lonely blockhouse, an odd sight today. Most Blockhouses in Canada are usually attached to some larger fort or remainders from a larger complex. But not just one sitting out at an intersection of two provincial highways. But the Lacolle Blockhouse is such a spot,…

Week #26 Not much inspiration…

I shot lots of film on my trip to Berlin. When I returned to Rotterdam and went back to work in week 26, I didn’t have much inspiration to shoot. The weather was bad and I had lots of other things to do. This polaroid pic is the only thing I shot in week 26;…

Week #25 – Berlin

After Braunschweig we continued our trip to Berlin, Germany. For me, it was my seventh visit to this city. Despite the fact I’ve been there a few times, I still haven’t seen everything there is to see. This time we visited the Olympic Stadium. I can cross that off my list of things to see…

roll 29_bought the farm

Sadly our neighborhood is expanding and that means the farm down the road from us is being demolished. I am sure the owners made a butt load of money, but I am sad to see it go. It sits next to protected wet-lands and home to many species of birds and mammals, including several bald…

roll 28_ small towns

On my little road trip to Washington I stopped in the town of Kalama to visit some antique stores, but the one I really wanted to visit closed 30 minutes before their posted quitting time. So I walked around the town with my Hasselblad 500 CM and a roll of Ilford HP4 Plus taking photos…

roll 27_ parades

I am a little behind on my posting, but I have kept up with at least one roll per week. Over the 4th of July weekend my neighborhood celebrates with a parade and barbecue. Kids and adults decorate their bikes and themselves and walk around carrying flags and other patriotic symbols. I pulled out my…

Roll 27: Lazy Summer Day

    Summer is just rolling along and I had some Kodak Gold to run through the EXA again.   So, I thought I would just attempt to play with the focus in the hot light of a summer afternoon.   Nothing fancy, just some shots of my yard. The hollyhocks did pretty well this…
