Solo passed away today at age 25. He was one of the donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada. I’m saddened by his passing but glad that I caught this moment in his life on […]

Bulb Exposure | Brownie Hawkeye Flash
Just wanted to show what could be accomplished with a Brownie Hawkeye Flash on Bulb mode. It’s about a 1-minute long exposure. The film I used was probably the discontinued Kodak Portra UC (I used […]
Water Skis | Sawyer’s Nomad 620
The Sawyer’s Nomad 620 is a rather bulky, bakelite camera with cool-looking design on the front plate (Google Images). It was made in the USA in the 1950s, I believe. The camera’s manufacturer was the […]
Old Timey | Ansco Shur Shot
The Ansco Shur Shot is my first box camera. Picked it up from one of those antique barn places out in the country for, I believe, $5. I took it with me to a cottage […]
Happy 11/11/11! | Hasselblad 500C/M
Taken with the Hasselblad 500C/M, Ilford HP5+ developed in peppermint and green tea.
Old Automobiles | Fujipet EE

Fly, Birds, Fly | Diana

Here’s a diptych for a change, taken with probably my most favourite camera of all, the Hasselblad 500C/M. Along with the Canon EOS 5D on the digital front, this was my dream camera and the […]
Fake Cigarette | Great Wall DF

This Is Not Hollywood | Yashica Mat LM
The Yashica Mat LM is yet another camera that we got for a good price due to eBay seller claiming not to know anything about cameras and so couldn’t tell if it was in working […]
Birthday Balloons | Rolleicord
Rolleicords are like low-end Rolleiflexes. I think I got mine pretty cheaply from someone on eBay years ago who claimed not to know anything about cameras and therefore couldn’t tell whether the camera works or […]
Turquoise | Holga 120N
This was from our trip the Canadian Rockies four years ago. The Holga didn’t make the shortlist of cameras to bring to our trip to Newfoundland in June this year. In fact, my toy cameras […]
