Was sent out this morning to photograph a property for a client at work. They are developers and we are building the website for the development. Anyhow we needed some images so we went to take some photos. There is a really cool observatory on the property. This is Kaminski the designer who is building the site. I thought this was a cool portrait because all last week he was working on the logo for the development which has the observatory as a centre piece and I feel like I inserted him into his own work. Most of the time he works on a whole project without leaving the office. I don’t know if most of you will appreciate that point of view but it means a lot to me. Here are a few frames of what I shot today.

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.

Ok so these are a bunch of shots from the last couple weeks. These are all off a roll of neopan 1600. I still hate this film, and am now out of it and am going back to shooting TriX. these are all off the zeiss ikon. We start with some shots of strangers, and we end with shots of friends in the park.

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.

OK, so this is a long overdue post from my journey to whistler. There were a few experiments here that’s why there are some not great shots that are here to demonstrate the differences between stocks and cameras. The fun part is, I’m not going to say which are which. So these are shot on a combination of triX at 1600, and neopan 1600 (I hate it) and an old leica M3 that wasn’t focusing properly, and my zeiss ikon that was focusing properly. Also, some of these are from Toronto, and I was working the whole week so I didn’t get the chance to be shooting all the time. Also the lens on the Leica is a 35mm f3.5, an old one.

OK so I processed some film yesterday and got around to scanning it tonight. there’s a lot of different stuff here so I’m going to comment photo by photo. Everything is TriX+2 in xtol. The first two shots are off the contax slr with the 50 zeiss 1.7. The rest are off the zeiss ikon rangefinder.

Emeline and I on the couch. Marilyn wanted to try my camera. Focus is spot on.

Lunch at my parents place with the grandparents.

Back in Toronto, waiting for the street car.

At brians place playing poker. I was experimenting with my 580ex flash rigged up to the rangefinder. the flash is zoomed in all the way to give the spotted effect. I think it would look nice against a textured wall.

Trip to the science centre

Futuristic shoe manufacturing.

sports.

Erin being bothered by the robot I programmed to play soccer.

A 40 foot dot matrix bubble print of my face.

A woman taking her daughter out for a walk.

Jen and Nick playing baseball before interpol.

The infamous Gary, playing some wonderful jazz guitar. Because he’s the last shot on the roll he gets to be nice and dirty.
ok

So after a few days of computer madness and formating and what not I’m up and running again with a wonderful new vista operating system. So tonight I present some photos from this past weekend when my third cousin Marilyn and her friend Emeline came to town from Montreal. They are there for an internship for a year and are from France. So I had to work on my French. I’m not as fluent as I was but I certainly got by. so here are some shots off the zeiss ikon. we did all the tourist stuff, Niagra Falls, cn tower all that fun stuff. SHit I just realized half way into posting this that I had saved the jpgs as adobeRGB colourspace instead of sRGB, oups. I guess it wont effect it much cause it’s black and white. Oh well too late.

tonight I took some photos of an odd fellow who was part of this band. I dont remember the exact name but it was something to the effect of “fabulous Fred and the vegetable back up band”. I took some photos of them. Colour is off the 30d (just got the sensor cleaned) and black and white is trix+2 in xtol off the zeiss ikon.

SOOO my car broke down so the last three days I’ve been taking the street car, the go bus/train and another bus to get to work in mississauga. Here are some photos taken by a miserable commuter who needs more melatonin production while he sleeps. The first few are from last weekend in london the morning after the film festival, when my car was not working, then I fixed it later that day, then days later something completely different stopped it from working. shot on the zeiss ikon, trix +2 in xtol.
