Last friday as I was walking past I fell in love with this shadow on the sidewalk cast by someone’s house numbers. This week as the autumn chill sets in, it feels less appropriate to wear flip flops and more like socks with long boots type weather. I sense soggy footwear and damp pant cuffs in my near future… 😉

The last Cosmos of summer


Taken with a Holga camera, using cross-processed fujichrome T64 film.

After putting up with poor quality scans of my photos for far too long I bought myself a wonderful new film scanner on the weekend. Wow, what a difference it makes in the level of detail with my holga shots, as evidenced by the above photo. The odd colouration is a result of shooting tungsten film in daylight conditions.

A quote sent to me from my friend Miranda, “The best gift we can give someone else is our own happiness. It frees everyone up to be who they are.” So true…

Both shots were taken with a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim trash camera, and the black border was added in Photoshop. I really like creating diptychs because I feel as if I can tell more of a story with the two images I combine.

Taken in Vancouver’s Chinatown with cross-processed Fujichrome Provia film. This detail is of an old garage that is one of my favorite buildings in this area of the city. I love the way the yellow paint has cracked and is flaking from the walls as the building itself slowly crumbles away.

Lately I’ve been shooting with a new Trash Camera called an Akira that I picked up months ago at Value Village. I really like the look of the results I’ve gotten from it so far, such as the shot above.

Taken with my Holga 120 CFN, using cross-processed expired Fujichrome MS 100/1000. I wish Fuji still manufactured this film because I really liked the results from it.
