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.

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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
“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…

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.
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.…
