Église Saint-Jacques

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Tudor Colour 200 No Comments

These photos are from the Église Saint-Jacques in Dieppe, France. The construction of this church began sometime in the 12th century. You can supposedly trace the history of gothic architecture over four centuries as this church wasn’t finished until the 16th century. As you can see in the photos, the Église Saint-Jacques is in need […]

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

Car Wreck

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Gold 200 No Comments

A few years ago, I took a road trip along the Cowboy Trail with some other photographers. This car wreck on the side of the road was one of the many things we encountered and photographed that day.

‘Make & Shoot’ Pinhole

35mm, black & white, Kodak Tri-X 400, Loonar Goupe Hole-OnEx, pinhole, Rodinal No Comments

I shot this pinhole photo with the Loonar Goupe Hole-OnEx, a ‘make & shoot’ pinhole camera kit. It wasn’t exactly the easiest pinhole camera to make and the first roll I ran through it came out completely blank — too many light leaks. So I made some modifications, loaded a 10-exposure roll, and shot indoors. […]

Lost Shoes

35mm, AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400, BC, Canada, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

While out for a walk one day, I came across this pair of shoes pinned well above my head on a telephone pole. I guess someone must have lost their shoes.

Shooting Kodak Elite Chrome 100

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Kodak Elite Chrome 100 No Comments

cross-processed Kodak Elite Chrome - blues & greens

This is cross-processed Kodak Elite Chrome 100 and I love how just by varying the exposure, the film gave me a very different colour palette. I wish I had recorded the exposure of each frame on the morning I shot these photos, but alas I wasn’t that smart. I’ve posted other photos from this roll, […]

Myra Canyon #2

35mm, AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400, BC, Canada, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera 2 Comments

Here are some more photos from my cycling trip through Myra Canyon on the Kettle Valley Railway. These were shot with my Ultra Wide & Slim. It’s interesting to compare photos #2106 and #2108 (below) with photos #838 and #839 respectively. They were taken from the same vantage point, but with different cameras. Photos #838 […]

I shot these photos on a hike at Grassi Lakes. My fellow hikers that day could not understand why I was shooting film, lol.

I snapped this photo of an elderly couple walking in Newmarket (a suburb of Auckland) on FPP B&W 100 film, which is really just rebranded Orwo UN54.

The Bund is the name for Shanghai’s historical waterfront and features many great views of Shanghai’s skyline.

Auckland

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Gold 200, New Zealand No Comments

These photos of Auckland were taken in 2018 as Sarah and I walked through downtown and along the waterfront. The big green owl (Ruru Kakotea) is from The Big Hoot, a fundraiser for the Child Cancer Foundation. That year, many painted owls could be found all around Auckland.

Surreal Yangshuo

35mm, black & white, China, Lomography Berlin Kino 400, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

I shot these photos early one morning as Sarah and I wandered around Yangshuo looking to buy our morning coffee. Yangshuo is a beautiful little town in China that looks like it was decorated for children. It is very odd, almost surreal, and yet very charming in its own way. I was just excited to […]

A Walk Through a Beijing Hutong #2

35mm, black & white, China, Lomography Potsdam Kino 100, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

Here are some more photos of my walk through an old hutong in Beijing. #2067 below is my failed attempt at a mirror selfie. The man in the photo got in the way, and if I waited around for him to leave, I was worried that he might think I was trying to photograph him […]

A Walk Through a Beijing Hutong

35mm, black & white, China, Lomography Potsdam Kino 100, Olympus Trip 35 2 Comments

A hutong is a narrow street or lane between rows of traditional courtyard residences and is commonly found in Beijing. Sarah and I walked through an old hutong near the Bell Tower (pictured above) and these are some of the photos I took. I used Lomography Potsdam Kino 100 for these photos and I have […]

Experimentation

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Mamiya C220, Orwo NP7 400, panorama, Rodinal, sprockets, Workflow No Comments

I like to experiment. Some experiments happen on a whim (“I wonder what would happen if I…”) and some experiments are methodically planned and executed. Given my busy schedule, the latter can sometimes take a few years. These photos represent two experiments: one a whim and the other planned. The First Experiment (the Whim) The […]

My Top 3 Film Cameras of 2022

35mm, Adox CHS 100 II, Alberta, black & white, C-41, Calgary, Camera Reviews, Canada, Fuji Industrial 100, Fujica ST801, half-frame, Kodak Farbwelt 100, Minolta XG-M, New Zealand, Olympus Pen EED, Rodinal 8 Comments

Taking inspiration from Keith Devereux, I decided to crash the party too. A group of film photography bloggers have all shared a post about the three cameras they used most in 2022. And so, here is my take on that theme. The three cameras mentioned below took centre stage for me and held all my […]

Ollie

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

This is Ollie. He is my father-in-law’s dog and he followed me around the house as I snapped some photos. I’ve posted photos of Ollie and his good friend Milly before. Milly has since passed away. Ollie misses her.

Yangshuo at Night #2

35mm, China, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

I’ve posted a lot about the amazing night markets in Xi’an and Yangshuo, so this time I’m just going to say that the Olympus Trip 35 is a great camera to use for brightly lit night photography. I shot these photos on Kodak Portra 400. This is arguably my favourite colour film.
