2017, Roll 14 – An Actor Out on Loan

I had a couple of hours free on Saturday while Emily slept. As usual, I was itching to get out and take pictures and as usual, I wasn’t really sure what to take them of.

2017, Roll 12 – Photographing Mikey’s Citroën

A couple of Sundays ago, I was lucky enough to be invited by Iain to take pictures of our mutual friend Mikey‘s classic Citroën DS. Mikey takes his beautiful car out once a month or so through the winter and the plan was for us to make some pictures of it in darkness, lit by LED streetlights…

Week 14: A Day of Firsts

My first pack of Impossible Project Film shot with my new SLR670-S which takes both ISO 100 and 600 film, a combination SX-70 and SLR680.  I had never shot instant film before so in the spirit of “it’s film what’s not to love” attitude I went out on a warm (for winter), sunny day to give it a try.…

Mamiya Universal Instax

I gaffer taped an Instax back onto a Mamiya Universal.   It worked out OK after some adjusting & testing. Lomography made a camera called the Belair, and it didn’t get amazing reviews.  Although it was innovative, functional, and fun to use, it had some deal-breaking faults.  Especially that the lenses weren’t so great.   However, they…

Week 8: Clunky But Cool

My wife and I like to do Saturday and holiday trips around central and southern Colorado when the weather is nice. Since we both had President’s day off last Monday we decided to take a trip and do some random photography. Picking the destination isn’t always easy since we’ve covered a lot of the major…

Weeks 10 – 13: Toronto in the Heart of Winter

Week 10: Randomness in the area of Sunnybrook Hospital testing out the latest acquisition, a Pentax 645N.  It’s a keeper.   Week 11: Back to nature at the Toronto Botanical Gardens Week 12: Playing with the Lensbaby Plastic at the Toronto Botanical Gardens Week 13: And back to a bit of colour along the Don River…

52 Rolls Week 6:52

This week we take a mid-winter walk along Boulder Creek near the Walden Ponds.    Now I need to qualify the use of ‘Walden Ponds” as this is not Thoreau’s famous location, but a series of flooded gravel pits.  Despite their ‘unromantic’ origins, these ponds provide a welcoming habitat for migrating birds.  We’ll visit the ponds…

Pink rocks and blue pools

“The fool who is aware of his foolishness is therefore like a wise man. But a fool who thinks he is wise is called a fool indeed. A fool who, as long as he lives, attends to a wise man, he doesn’t know the doctrine, as the spoon doesn’t know the soup’s flavour. If a…

2017, Roll 10 – Aeaea

Another roll shot on our trip to Poland last month. This time it’s Kodak Portra 400, that I accidentally shot at 200, resulting in what looks to me like slightly more colour than usual.

Roll 1:52 Reboot

As promised I’m back, albeit a bit late to get out of the gate. I’m not making a pretense about “weeks” this year – just 52 rolls, whenever they decide to show up. I decided that if I was going to do this project another year I would have to set some very specific goals.…
