Wandering Around Napier
These are from a photo walk I took wandering the streets of Napier, NZ over Christmas.
A’Deane Park
This is A’Deane Park in Waipukurau, New Zealand. Sarah and I took our daughter here when we were visiting family over Christmas. It was my first Christmas in the southern hemisphere and after experiencing a summer barbeque on Christmas Day, I don’t think I can ever go back to a snowy Christmas!
High Park
These photos were taken in Calgary’s High Park, a park located on the 6th floor of a parkade building downtown. The park was undergoing some maintenance while I wandered around and photographed the views of downtown.
Luchadores
Every summer, a number of cultural festivals take place in Calgary featuring food stalls and live entertainment. These photos of luchadores were taken at Mexifest, a celebration of Mexico’s cultural heritage. I shot a roll of Yashica Ruby 60s 400 at Mexifest and I have to say, I’m almost always disappointed with films whose selling […]
Legs
I came across these leggy mannequins while walking through Olympic Plaza and had to photograph them.
First Impressions of the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16
This is my first roll through the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 and I’m impressed! Until I bought this camera, I didn’t think folding cameras were anything special, but I was wrong. The Signal Nettar features a sharp lens, is easy to use, and was a lot of fun to shoot. The Signal Nettar is […]
Zoo Animals #4
I shot these photos on a roll of 30-year-old expired Agfa XRS 1000 that I purchased from a reputable seller on eBay. According to the seller, this film had been cold stored for its entire life. Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, high ISO films do not stand the test of time as well as low ISO […]
Tudor Garden
These photos are from the Tudor Garden found at Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand. This garden features mythical beasts holding shields and flags sitting atop green and white striped poles amidst a knot garden. Each of the flags features a Tudor rose, while each shield bears the coat of arms associated with the historical figure […]
A Matter of Perspective
I shot these Volkswagen Golfs from three different perspectives wanting to capture the colors of the cars.
On the Farm #2
My wife’s parents lived here but have since moved. It’s too bad. I really liked this place, especially the garden.
Ferrari 308 GTB
These photos of a Ferrari GTB 308 (my favourite car) were taken last month at the European Classic Car Meet. After the last car show I attended, I felt I needed a lens wider than the 35mm f/3.5 Takumar I had used that day. So a few months ago, I bought a 24mm f/3.5 Takumar […]
Gasoline Alley Museum
I took these photos in Gasoline Alley Museum at Heritage Park. The lighting wasn’t bright enough for a handheld shot, so I had to place my camera on anything nearby (a railing, a table, etc) in order to take a photo.
