First Impressions of the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16

Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Camera Reviews, Canada, Kodak Ektar 100, medium (120), square, Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 No Comments

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 […]

Wintergardens #3

35mm, C-41, half-frame, Kodak Ektar 100, New Zealand, Olympus Pen EED No Comments

These photos of flowers are from the Auckland Domain Wintergardens. I had a great time shooting these flowers, but the Olympus Pen EED was not up to the task. The combination of an overcast day and an auto exposure camera that often chose a slow shutter speed meant that many of these photos are not […]

Tiananmen Square

35mm, China, Kodak Ektar 100, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

I shot these photos in Tiananmen Square. As I stood there snapping photos and taking in the sights, I couldn’t help but think of ‘Tank Man’, the iconic photo taken by Jeff Widener in June 1989 during the Tiananmen Square Protests. While that photo was seen around the world and has come to represent the […]

Bernières-sur-Mer

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Ektar 100 No Comments

These photos are all from a walk I took in 2015 through Bernières-sur-Mer, a small town in Normandy, France that was liberated by Canadians on D-Day, June 6, 1944. This first photo is of a German defensive position, aka a “Tobruk”. It was designed to target invading soldiers by firing down the length of the […]

Wintergardens Triptych

35mm, C-41, half-frame, Kodak Ektar 100, New Zealand, Olympus Pen EED, panorama No Comments

One of the things I love about half-frame cameras, like the Olympus Pen EED, is the ability to create diptychs and triptychs. It’s a great way to create panoramas or simply to juxtapose two images. I made this triptych of Auckland’s Wintergardens last year when Sarah and I were in New Zealand visiting family. It […]

Sarah and I wandered around Blenheim one Sunday afternoon. It was very quiet with almost no one around when I shot these photos.

These photos of passengers were taken aboard the Victoria Grace while I was on a Yangtze River cruise in China a few years ago.

Self-Portrait Challenge #4: Reflection

Kodak Ektar 100, Mamiya C220, medium (120), Self-Portrait Challenge, square No Comments

Here is another photo from my Self-Portrait Challenge. The theme for this one was reflection. The photo turned out better than I had anticipated. That being said, I think that it could do with an improvement. Conceptually, if I had to take this photo again, I think I would have some friends pretend to be […]

Canada House

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Ektar 100 2 Comments

This beachfront house in Bernières-sur-Mer, France is the home of Hervé & Nicole Hoffer. Known as ‘Canada House’, it was originally owned by Hervé’s grandfather and was the first house liberated on D-Day by the Allies. Over the years, Hervé has turned his home into a museum and shrine to the members of the Queen’s […]

Bearspaw Classic Car Show and Shine

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak Ektar 100 No Comments

Every summer, I try to attend as many interesting events as I can and bring along a camera. In the past, I’ve attended and photographed hot air ballooning, show jumping, live music, the Calgary Comic Expo, and the engine run-up on a WWII Lancaster bomber, to name a few. But since the pandemic started, I […]

Cows of Authie

I photographed these cows just outside Authie in Normandy. That big cow wasn’t too happy that I was photographing the calfs.

The Self-Portrait Challenge

Kodak Ektar 100, Mamiya C220, medium (120), Self-Portrait Challenge, square No Comments

From time to time, I will take self-portraits. Often it’s because I have no idea of what to photograph. I’m easily bored of photographing the same subjects and locations over and over again. There are only so many times that I can visit the same places and vary the point of view or use a […]

Blenheim, NZ

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Ektar 100, New Zealand No Comments

When Sarah and I toured wineries in Marlborough, New Zealand, we stayed in Blenheim, a small town on the South Island. It was very peaceful and we wandered around town taking pictures. If you’re ever there, I highly recommend the Watery Mouth Café (third photo). It was so good, we had breakfast there every day.

UC Dinos Cheerleaders

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak Ektar 100 No Comments

The 4th Street Lilac Festival always draws a huge crowd here in Calgary. Vendors and food trucks line the streets, there’s live music, and even a parade. It would be a lot of fun, except for the crowds. So many people (and their pets) attend the summmer festival, that sometimes it reaches the tipping point […]
