It’s closing in on 2 years since my last post. Not sure exactly what happened, but I just lost interest in photography and blogging. After almost 850 blog posts since 2011, I guess I was just done with it. I didn’t even pack things up before leaving… I simply just walked away. I’ve shot the…
Not sure where the last year went. Nevertheless, we’re into September and that means the kids are back to school. A bit more exciting this year as both boys are back into the same school again and also they are now taking the bus to and from each day, which is going to save a…
Back in September, my oldest celebrated his 11th birthday. In lieu of having a party or meeting up with family, we decided to take him to the Toronto Zoo. We had to book a time to get into the zoo, and there was more people than I would have liked, but it was still super…
Our family had originally planned on spending a couple weeks this summer driving out to the east coast, but those plans quickly changed. After spending most of the summer at home in isolation, we booked a small trip to Isaiah Tubbs Resort on West Lake in Prince Edward County. We were joined by close friends…
At the end of June, one of our first excursions outside our “bubble” was to meet up with my brother and his family in Collingwood, Ontario. My wife was working, so the boys and I drove the 2.5 hours to spend the day just visiting family. We also took the kids to Blue Mountain Village…
Way back in June I met up with my friend Paul to go on a bit of a photowalk/hike in the woods. It was the first time either of us had been out with the camera in a very long time, so it felt kind of weird. We went to the Millbrook Trails and spent…
Over a week ago, I decided to go for a walk on my lunch break. Working from home these days has it’s little bonuses. We live just down the road from the TransCanada Trail and specifically where there’s an old rail trestle bridge. I haven’t been there in a couple years, so figured it was…
Last weekend my wife’s family was in town visiting so I had a couple hours to myself and decided to head out with the Pentax 6×7 and a roll of Ultrafine Extreme 400. I wasn’t planning on it but found myself at the Peterborough Lift Locks – a place I’ve photographed tons of times before.…
I haven’t posted anything in a while. I actually haven’t taken any photos since before Christmas, and haven’t shot any film in about 2 months. I somewhat attributed this to shorter winter days and not enough free time, but I’m also not feeling very motivated to take any photos lately. I’m also struggling to find…
I have a love-hate relationship with Ilford Delta 3200 film. There. I said it. I love the look that this film produces, but I’ve always had troubles working with it. I either expose it wrong or something messes up with the camera. Either way, I know I just need to work with it more. This…
