Yangshuo countryside on Double-X 5222 film

Sarah and I took a bicycle tour around the Yangshuo countryside when we were in China. It was a spectacular day and we had a lot of fun. I shot these with my Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim loaded with B&W film. I would have prefered colour film, but that was all I had with […]

Pointe du Hoc

35mm, Agfa APX 100, black & white, Canon Rebel 2000, France No Comments

In 2015, I went to France on a World War I & II history tour. We visited many of the Canadian, British and American battelfields in Normandy. These photos were taken at Pointe du Hoc, which is the highlest point of land between Utah Beach to the west and Omaha Beach to the east. On […]

Yangshuo at Night

fish on a stick at the Yangshuo night market in China

The highlight of my trip to China last year had to be the night markets. There is just so much to see and photograph. The streets and restaurant patios are filled with interesting people, while every shop is open with something exciting going on out front. There’s plenty of food, music, and all sorts of […]

Park Fountain

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Holga 120 CFN, Lomography Lady Grey B&W 400, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

This is a photo from Central Memorial Park here in Calgary. I shot this shortly before it was announced that manufacturing of the Holga camera had ceased production. Of course, that decision didn’t last long and the Holga is still being made to this day. I like my Holga and should probably shoot with it […]

statue at Government Gardens, Rotorua, NZ

These are photos of a few of the statues on the grounds surrounding Government Gardens in Rotorua, New Zealand. I quite like the way the first photo turned out. I love the look of Kodak Tri-X 400. It is an absolutely beautiful B&W film.

Random Shots from Pearce Estate Park

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak BW400CN 2 Comments

I shot these on Kodak BW400CN, a chromogenic B&W film, which isn’t a true B&W film as it is designed to be processed in C-41 chemistry. I’m not a fan of this film and wasn’t sad to see Kodak discontinue its production. I shot these while wandering around Pearce Estate Park.

Damaged Headstones

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Svema FN64 No Comments

On one of my many trips to Union Cemetery, I shot these B&W photos of damaged and deteriorating headstones. Many of these headstones date back to the early days of Calgary’s settlement and it’s rather sad to see the loss of history. Hopefully, by capturing a few photos I can do my part to preserve […]

Fishing off the Coast of Arromanches

35mm, black & white, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Svema A2SH 400 No Comments

I shot these photos in 2015 while on a tour of Canadian World War II battlefields in France. These are from Arromanches in Normandy. Arromanches is the location of Gold Beach where the British landed on D-Day and built a Mulberry harbour out of huge concrete caissons, many of which can still be seen off […]

Shooting Valca Film

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Caffenol, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Self-Portrait Challenge, Valca Grano Fino Positiva 6 No Comments

I like shooting rare and expired film. I like it when I discover an old film that not only still produces good results, but also has a unique look or color palette. These are from a roll of Valca Grano Fino Positiva cinematic film that I purchased from Labeauratoire. Since Valca has a recommended ISO […]

My wife gave me a Lab-Box for Christmas this year and I’ve started developing my own film. These were developed using Rodinal (or Blazinal as it is branded here in Canada).

Rundle Ruins Model Shoot

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, JCH Street Pan 400 No Comments

A while back, I participated in a model shoot at Rundle Ruins. I shot both film and digital, and as the sun set and the light faded, it made film photography challenging. Many photos were underexposed. Thankfully, these photos of Dana turned out quite well.

Attack of the Swan

35mm, black & white, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Tri-X 400, New Zealand No Comments

As Sarah and I took a walk around Lake Rotorua, I spotted this couple enjoying the lake beneath the shade of a tree… and I spotted a swan swimming nearby. This unsuspecting couple never saw it coming until it was too late… but thankfully I did. And so I hung around and did my best […]

Screen Time Part 2

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Rollei Blackbird 100 No Comments

I’ve been rather disappointed with the results I get from Rollei film. Rollei Blackbird did little to change that. These were some of the best from the roll. On another note: Rollei Blackbird is the 100th film I’ve posted to Going Lomo.

An Alley in Yangshuo

35mm, black & white, China, Eastman Double-X 5222 B&W 200, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

Sarah and I took a bicycle tour through the countryside of Yangshuo. But to get to the bicycle rental shop, we had to first walk through a rather sketchy underground parking lot before emerging on the other side in an alley where I took these photos.

As we took a walk through an old hutong near the Bell Tower in Beijing, I came across a group of locals playing mahjong. These were shot on Lomography’s new B&W film: Potsdam Kino 100.

Chinese Calligraphy

35mm, black & white, China, FPP Derev Pan 200, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

I recently visited China for my honeymoon. Sarah and I spent three weeks travelling the country visiting many places including the city of Chengdu, where we spent an afternoon in People’s Park. Near the Railway Protection Movement Monument, we saw an old man practicing calligraphy. He was writing poetry on the pavement with a brush […]
