Lost Film

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography Color 400 5 Comments

My worst nightmare just came true. Eight rolls of exposed film have gone missing. They are lost in the mail, possibly forever. This is the challenge of shooting film: once it leaves your hands, it’s out of your control. You just have to trust that it will all work out. And while most of the […]

52 Week Challenge: Week 2

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Svema Color DS 100 No Comments

Here is the second installment in my 52 Week Photography Challenge. Week 2’s challenge was to take a traditional landscape photo. This was taken at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. I shot this on some newly acquired Svema Color DS 100 film that I ordered online from Ukraine. Not bad for film that expired in 2002!

Ferris Wheel

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Fuji Velvia 100 No Comments

I love the look of cross-processed Fuji Velvia 100. It gives beautiful pink and purple tones. These shots of the ferris wheel were taken in Heritage Park.

52 Week Challenge: Week 1

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, half-frame, Kodak UltraMax 400, Lomography Diana Mini, toy camera No Comments

Back in January, I decided to take on a 52 Week Photography Challenge. Since I shoot film, it’s difficult to have the photos from each week of the Challenge processed in time to have them posted in the corresponding week. So I have to post my photos late. Week 1’s challenge was to take a […]

I shot these photos of the Sons of Fenrir and their camp during the 2014 Calgary Comic Expo on AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400 film. The Sons of Fenrir are reenactors who portray 9th century Viking / Norse culture. I spoke to them for awhile and they were some of the most articulate and gracious people […]

Shooting with Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, cross-processed, Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500 No Comments

These were shot at the Calgary Zoo using Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500 slide film that I then had cross-processed at The Darkroom. As you can see, the color shifted towards yellow. I don’t really like it cross-processed, so when I shot a roll at Christmas, I had it developed as E-6. It turned out much better, […]

Winter Fashion Shoot

Alberta, Canada, Kodak Portra 400, Mamiya C220, medium (120), square No Comments

Back in December, I participated in my first model shoot. I’ve never photographed models before so it was a bit of a learning curve. I wasn’t really sure of how to give the models direction or even what I wanted. I felt rather silly so I mostly hung back and watched what the other photographers […]

Heritage Park

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 100 No Comments

These were all shot at Heritage Park using my Canon Rebel 2000 and Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 100 film. I got my Rebel 2000 two years ago for only $35 on eBay. Since then, I’ve shot 99 rolls of film with it. That’s half my film total. I love this SLR because it’s light, easy […]

More Adox Color Implosion

35mm, Adox Color Implosion 100, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000 No Comments

I have really come to love shooting with Adox Color Implosion 100 film. I always shoot it at box speed and I just love the color tones and grain. It gives a really nice vintage look. And I’m really impressed by the consistency of this film too. I know exactly what I’m going to get […]

Bristol Hercules Engine

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, cross-processed, FPP RetroChrome 160 No Comments

I took these photos of one of the Bristol Hercules engines owned by the Bomber Command Museum of Canada. This engine works and would have originally been mounted on a Handley Page ‘Halifax’ bomber. You can see it below being serviced by a member of the museum’s Halifax team who are working towards the goal […]

Edworthy Park Photowalk

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

These are the first few photos from my Diana Mini. I got my Diana Mini for free from Lomography for spending $100 on film (so it wasn’t really free). I quite like this little camera and am pleased with the results. Nearly every photo I took with this camera over Christmas was in focus and […]

Canoes and Lake

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fomapan Action 400 No Comments

The shot of the canoes is one of my favourite photos. I love the light and dark of it. These were shot on Fomapan Action 400 film which along with Kodak’s Tri-X are my favourite B&W films.

Purple Sky

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, cross-processed, Fuji Velvia 100 No Comments

I love shooting these two statues in Burnsland Cemetery and have photographed them many times with different cameras and film. These were shot with my Canonet QL17 and a roll of Velvia 100. I love the pink and purple tones of these shots.

Every year, the Calgary Zoo hosts an event for photographers called ‘Focused’. During the event, the Zoo opens two hours early for photographers to photograph the animals in the early morning light. These photos of Chilean flamingos were taken during last year’s Focused event.

Holga Mishap

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Holga 120 CFN, light leaks, Lomography Slide / X-Pro 200, toy camera No Comments

I own a 35mm back for my Holga 120 CFN, so one day I loaded it up with some Lomography Slide/X-Pro 200 ISO film and headed to Burnsland Cemetery. Unfortunately, I had a little mishap while I was taking photos. The back cover fell off my Holga and completely exposed the film. I tried my […]

Sad News for the Holga

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

Sad news this week: the Holga has been discontinued. They won’t be making this iconic camera anymore. Some are happy to see its demise, but they are missing the point. The Holga is beloved because of its light leaks and vignetting. It’s not a DSLR. It’s a plastic toy camera. You can do things with […]

Steam Locomotive

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 100 No Comments

I shot these back in June at Heritage Park using a roll of Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 100 film that I bought from Katie Shoots Film (back when it was called ‘Curating Cuteness’). They turned out better than expected considering the film expired in 2007. The old steam locomotive runs all around Heritage Park and […]
