I recently took this picture as I was walking by with my Instax Wide 210 instant film camera because I thought the natural light on it was nice. It’s a detail from a collective graffiti mural on a plywood fence around a big hole where an old building used to be in the Centretown area […]

I’ve never been a runner myself other than when I was in the navy and I had to pass a yearly fitness test in the 1970’s, but every year I look forward to walking from my Centretown apartment to the Ottawa International Marathon. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the finish line area near
I took these pictures in 2010 with a Fujifilm Instax Mini 50S, an instant camera that used Instax Mini film. It was at the high end of the Instax Mini camera line at the time, noted in particular for its stylish design in “piano black”.
Taken sometime around 2010 with a Beirette VSN 2 35 mm camera which was once sold in Boots drugstores. It was a great little 35 mm snapshot camera which, although generally considered to be a “toy camera” because of the very cheap plastic build, was equipped with a real focusing lens and traditional aperture and
I took these photos around the historic Dominion Observatory adjacent to the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa (Canada) in 2002 with a 1940’s Agfa Isolette. These are straight scans of my black & white negatives on a Canon 8400F flatbed film scanner. There were several models of the Isolette over the years. It was a
This post is carried over from the previous version of my website. I took these pictures at the 420 event on Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 2017. Cannabis would be legalized in Canada the following year. Shot with a Sony ILCE-5000 mirrorless APS-C camera.
This is a gallery post carried over from my previous website. Although shot on digital, the idea was to go out and simulate using up only one roll of 35mm film on a single walk. All taken in the Centretown area of Ottawa, Canada.

Winterlude is an annual event held in Ottawa and Gatineau every February since 1979. It’s organized by the federal government to celebrate Canada’s northern culture and climate. Increasingly frequent mild February temperatures in recent years have forced organizers to include more attractions and exhibits that are not dependent on cold weather, and to spread the
The Holga 120 S was the original model of the infamous Chinese-made Holga medium format toy camera. The current equivalent is the Holga 120 N, still available from various sources. I took these pictures in Ottawa (Canada) on black and white film sometime around 2000-2001. You could pick your film and your lighting conditions, but
The Mayfair Theatre, in the Old Ottawa South neighbourhood of Ottawa, Canada, was built during the depths of Great Depression. It’s one of only two original neighborhood cinemas still in operation in the Nation’s Capital, and one of the oldest surviving independent movie houses in Canada. I always loved going to movies, but I always
