Park Güell

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography F² 400, Spain

Sarah & I spent a day wandering Park Güell in Barcelona. Antoni Gaudí’s architecture is simply amazing. Sadly, I didn’t capture much on film as I was mostly shooting with my DSLR that day.

Around Town with the Diana Baby 110

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera

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 […]

Shooting Valca Film

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Caffenol, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Self-Portrait Challenge, Valca Grano Fino Positiva 6

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 […]

Toy Trucks

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Tri-X 400, Mamiya C220, medium (120), Rodinal, square

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).

Il Giardino Italiano

35mm, BC, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography Color 800

I shot these in Vancouver’s Il Giardino Italiano (the Italian Garden) at Hasting’s Park. It’s a beautiful garden to wander through with plenty of flowers and amazing fountains. The Opera Walk is especially beautiful.

Wandering Heritage Park

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Fuji Velvia 100

Heritage Park is one of those places where there is lots to see and photograph. Over the years, I have managed to shoot many rolls of film there. I believe this is the first roll of Velvia 100 that I ever cross-processed and, once I saw the results, I instantly fell in love with the […]

Widgeon Creek

35mm, BC, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Fuji Provia 100F

These are from a canoe trip on Widgeon Creek that I took with my friend Barry. I’ve done this trip before and will probably do it again one day. It’s always fun.

Scrap Metal

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Lomography Color 400

I spent a cold winter’s day wandering through scrap metal and abandoned junk on a small farm north of Calgary. These are a few of the photos from that day.

Great Wall of China

35mm, China, Kodak Ektar 100, Olympus Trip 35

I tried to capture the steep changes in elevation while climbing the Great Wall of China. It may have been a cloudy day, but the temperature was in excess of 40 °C. Climbing all those stairs was harder than it looks! Incidentally, can you spot the woman doing a handstand?

Wandering Yangshuo

35mm, China, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35

These were shot wandering the streets of Yangshuo. At night, these very streets transform into a very busy and crowded night market.

Bubbles

35mm, China, Hong Kong, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35

After nearly five years, I have finally posted my 1000th photo! I created this blog in July 2015 partly to share my photos, but mostly as a way to record my journey as a photographer for myself. It has been an immensely rewarding process and one I hope will continue for years to come. And […]

Notre Dame

35mm, AgfaPhoto CT Precisa 100, Canon Rebel 2000, France

It’s sad to think about the destruction and loss of history caused by the Notre Dame fire. I was fortunate enough to have visited Notre Dame a few years back and snap some photos. I even got to go inside but I didn’t really see much. There were too many tourists and since it was […]

Hats Along the Cowboy Trail

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Gold 200

These photos come from a road trip down the Cowboy Trail with some fellow photographers. As we headed south on Highway 22, we stopped along the highway to shoot these photos of hats on fence posts.
