Film on Film #2: Agfa, Kodak, Fuji & Rollei

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

These photos are from my Film on Film project. A few years ago, I created a small photography studio in my basement. It’s really nothing more than a backdrop and a few strobes, but it has allowed me to practice shooting portraits and learn the fundamentals of lighting. Unfortunately, as time went on, the basement […]

Film on Film

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

I’ve been working on a new project. I’m photographing every roll of film I own on Fuji Instax Mini film. These are the first two rolls I’ve captured and they are part of a new series I’m calling Film on Film. They were shot using a Diana F+ with Instant Back and it took me […]

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 […]

Star Wars AT-AT

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

I own a Diana F+ camera with ‘all the fixins’. I bought the deluxe kit one year and also picked up the Instant Back. The result is that it’s a lot of fun to use all the Diana’s lenses while shooting Instax Mini. I shot this at a friend’s place on Fuji Instax Mini (Star […]

old Willans family barn at Fish Creek Park

One winter, I hiked through Fish Creek Park and snapped these photos with my Superheadz Blackbird, Fly TLR. The first photo (#1103) is of the Willans Family barn which was demolished a few years ago. The old log barn was built around 1910 by Norman Willans using white spruce trees that line the banks of […]

Around Town with the Diana Baby 110

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera No Comments

I recently picked up the Diana Baby 110 from Lomography. Since I already own and love the Diana F+ and the Diana Mini, I had high hopes for this camera. The Diana Baby 110 is a delightful little camera, but sadly the resulting photos were a disappointment. Most of the roll turned out as complete […]

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Lomography Diana Mini, square, toy camera No Comments

Last year, Sarah & I drove out to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose history goes back approximately 11,000 years. We hiked along the interpretive trail where I took these photos.

Xi’an Overnight Train

35mm, China, Lomography Color 800, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

We took an overnight train from Shanghai to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Warriors. There was very little privacy on the overnight train. Compartments had six berths and an open doorway to the corridor. We shared our compartment with a university student and a lovely Chinese family. In fact, there were many families with young […]

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.

Skyline Luge

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography F² 400, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

On my first trip to New Zealand, Sarah took me to Skyline Luge in Rotorua. It was my first time downhill karting and we had a lot of fun that day. Sarah grew up in Rotorua so imagine her surprise when she discovered that Skyline Luge was also here in Calgary at COP. You can’t […]

Screen Time

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Tiger Color 200, Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110, toy camera No Comments

These were shot using my Ikimono Flash 110 camera by Superheadz. Sadly, this camera has a significant flaw. It often fails to stop on the next frame when advancing frames after a shot thereby skipping frames and wasting film.

Sarah and I took a walk along Vancouver’s Jericho Beach last summer. The haze in the background is from BC forest fires.

Myra Canyon

35mm, BC, Canada, Kodak Gold 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera No Comments

Last summer, Sarah & I rented some mountain bikes and rode along the Kettle Valley Railway in Myra Canyon near Kelowna, BC. I took many photos that day and these are the few I shot with my Lomography La Sardina Splendour camera.

Jericho Beach

This is the pier at Jericho Beach. It may look like typical Vancouver cloudy weather, but that is in fact smoke from the BC forest fires last summer.

Getting Married

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Gold 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera No Comments

Sarah and I are getting married today. We met two years ago while travelling and have been inseparable ever since. I love her dearly and am happy to spend the rest of my life with her.

Still more photos from my trip to Elbow Falls with Sarah. These were shot on expired (and no longer available) Lomography Redscale 100. Its replacement is the much improved Lomography Redscale XR 50-200.

Lomo Me

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100 EPN, Lomography Diana F+, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

I shot this self-portrait with my Diana F+. At the time, I didn’t realize that I had forgotten to remove the Instax insert lens and so that’s why this photo is the way it is. There’s more from this roll of film if you’re interested.
