Photos!

I’ve been using some expired 220 portra nc which can’t go on any longer. Time to buy film. I am thinking I might start shooting 220 vc.

In this post…. Clay, Emily, Katherine, Alberta, London, Outside. It was 25 degrees out for some of these shots last saturday and there was some serious wind. Tonight (7 days later) it’s -4.

I’m in London for the weekend celebrating my grandmothers 80th birthday. We all went to a restaurant at Highbury and Huron called Huron house. This is the owner, Jimmy. He has known my grandparents for like 50 years.

A Call to Arms

ryan — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:23:05 +0000

I was in London this past weekend for Easter. I shot a bunch of 4×5. I got the film back tonight and have been scanning 6x12cm crops of the shots on my flatbed which will scan medium format but not 4×5. Most of the images don’t work with the crop although this one kind of does… Just image more tree on top and more ground below. I would prefer not to show these until I have a proper scan on the whole frame, but I’m eager.

Anyhow this is Ken under a tree with his dogs. I’ve got some 220 shots from this day coming back from the lab tomorrow.

Before I get into my regular blog spiel I had something interesting happen. My girlfriend was borrowing my bike (her new bike, as I just got a new one) last monday and she rode it to school. Well when she got out class guess what, no bike! All that was left was a snipped lock on the ring post where the bike used to sit. She was upset but I told her not to worry it’s just a bike (I’m such a great boyfriend). Anyhow I thought well maybe I’ll report it to the police but that will almost certainly be fruitless. A few days pass and I am forwarded an article about an infamous bike thief ring leader who sells like all the stolen bikes in the city. Turns out he got busted paying some thieves to steal a bike. So today we were coming back from a wedding in london and decided to stop into the warehouse where they were displaying all the stolen bikes that were seized, there were about 200+ bikes there, and one of them was mine! I couldn’t believe it, after a bunch of paperwork and showing some photo print outs of the bike, the finally gave it to me. Katherine road it home very excited as it fits much better than the bike I got to replace the stolen one.

So now for the spiel. this past Wednesday I stopped at my friend Brett’s place and we did a little bit of video recording of him and Scribbons playing some blues music. Check it out!

The Awakening of a Woman

ryan — Sun, 18 May 2008 06:43:37 +0000

So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here. I’ve still been shooting I have simply not had time to post here or process any film. I’m going to process some film tomorrow (that’s the plan) so I thought before that I would post a bunch of my digital stuff.

These shots are from all over the map.

I’ve been taking a lot of shots for peoples web sites at work recently. I’ve also been snapping the odd shot of co-workers. There was a house warming party here a few weeks ago. I took some shots of my friends sisters baby last week. That was a new experience but a lot of fun.

In other news Katherine (My lovely girlfriend) and I recently got a car. We found it on leasebusters.com and it’s a nice 2004 volkswagen golf. We had to go up to Ottawa to get it. We will have it until december so we’re planning some road trips for the summer. There are some shots here from Ottawa the morning before getting the car, then the drive back, the countryside. Then the next day Graham Beasley and I went to London for mothers day and shot some 16mm film of cows. Very exciting stuff. Anyhow there are a couple shots graham took of me and the car.

As usual click on the image to check out the gallery.

okay

So I was in London last week and Ken and I were going to take the boat out but the weather was pretty sporadic that day, so Beasley stopped in and we hung out enjoying the odd cloud formations. The next day we planned to boat again, but the weather was off and on again so Ken honored me by inviting me to join him in using his new gun for the first time. So we went over to his place gut the tags off and recreated Nintendo’s original game “Clay shooter” which many of you will know as the game that came with duck hunt. We got all the tools necessary to perform the ceremony and Ken made the inaugural shot. The rest of the afternoon was a delight as we fired off shells destroying one clay after the next (and we weren’t even cheating by holding the gun right up to the tv). I was new to the whole process so ken had to explain the workings of the gun to me, but I learned quickly and soon was shooting like a pro. Before we retired ken took the opportunity of the last shot on my roll to show how it’s really done. This was all portra 800, kodaks attempt at reproducing green. All shot on the eos 1n with either the 85 f1.8 or the 17-40 f4 or the 50 zeiss 1.7.

This entry is about trains, golf, walmart, and aladdin shawarma. So I was in London last weekend and was talking to my good friend Mr Graham Beasley and we decided we would play some golf. It all starts with us checking the weather, a simple wet finger will do. Then obviously we need to eat some shawarma, but alas graham gets confused ordering and spends 16 dollars. We play some golf, afterwards I decide I’ll buy him a drink because I ate some of his 16 dollar shawarma platter. While getting drinks we run into Will and Emily. Then I decide it’s time to return to Toronto, the end. OH I cant forget, there is a shot of Matt in there from the band Riverside, I’m shooting their video. Also I stopped at walmart, it’s big. Oh yeah also this is off my old zeiss ikon rangefinder trix at 400 in xtol. OH and Graham took an impressive shot of me while we were golfing, really good focus, fine job.
