52 Week Challenge: Week 3

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography Color 800

Here are the photos from week 3 in my 52 Week Photography Challenge. Week 3’s challenge was to take artistic photos of something red. While these photos may lack artistry, they certainly are red. I shot these in Edworthy Park.

Horses

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Kodak Elite Chrome 100

These photos are from one of the few rolls of film to have survived my recent postal film fiasco. I shot these at YMCA Camp Chief Hector while I was out on a morning hike. I used Kodak Elite Chrome 100 film that I had cross-processed at The Darkroom. I love how some of the […]

Lost Film

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

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

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!

From the Past #7: Widgeon Creek Part 3

35mm, BC, Canada, From the Past, Fuji Super G 200, Point & Shoot

After a short hike, we finally made it up to Widgeon Falls. The guys and I took a much needed break to eat lunch and enjoy the scenery before hiking back down to the canoes and the long paddle back.

From the Past #6: Widgeon Creek Part 2

35mm, BC, Canada, From the Past, Fuji Super G 200, Point & Shoot

As we paddled along Widgeon Creek, one of the guys spotted a tributary to the creek. Despite the clear “Do Not Enter” sign and the chain across the entrance, we decided it was worth a further look. The water level of the creek was just high enough over the chain that we could paddle our […]

From the Past #5: Widgeon Creek Part 1

35mm, BC, Canada, From the Past, Fuji Super G 200, Point & Shoot

My first trip to Widgeon Falls was back in July 1994. My friend Kevin was getting married and he really wanted to do this hike for his bachelor party. So we rented some canoes and paddled across Pitt Lake past Siwash Island to the entrance of Widgeon Creek. But that was only the beginning of […]

Ferris Wheel

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

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

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 […]

Opera Walk

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

These are from the Opera Walk in the Italian Garden (Il Giardino Italiano) at Hastings Park in Vancouver. Hastings Park is one of my favourite parks because I grew up close by and have many great memories of visiting the park.

Sons of Fenrir

35mm, AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000

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 […]

R2-D2

Who doesn’t love droids? These shots of R2-D2 were taken at the 2014 Calgary Comic Expo.

More Cosplay

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Lomography Color 800

With the Calgary Comic Expo coming up next week, I thought I’d post some of the cosplay photos I took last year.

Courseulles-sur-Mer

35mm, black & white, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Fuji Neopan 400

These were shot in Courseulles-sur-Mer, Normandy, France last summer on my battlefields tour sponsored by the Juno Beach Centre Museum. Courseulles-sur-Mer is beautiful and I took a lot of photos while I was there. The last shot is of the statue entitled Remembrance and Renewal as seen reflected in the glass of the Juno Beach […]

Shooting with Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, cross-processed, Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500

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

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

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 […]

Tower Beach

35mm, BC, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 200

I shot these in July 2014 at Tower Beach in Vancouver. Tower Beach takes its name from the two World War II era searchlight towers that still stand on the beach silently guarding the entrance to Burrard Inlet. The photos below are of Tower #2 aka CASL #9 (Coast Artillery Search Light) which sits further […]

More Adox Color Implosion

35mm, Adox Color Implosion 100, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000

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 […]
