Cold Clear Air

This has been a cold winter, ski conditions have been great but oh boy, you don't want to get caught on a stalled chairlift with a breeze sending wind chills below -20c. I do try and document my drive home on the backroads of Caledon Ontario. As much as I love winter, I'm due for spring but I have a gut feeling it's not going to show up for a while. I pulled my Rolleicord out and I forgot how nice medium format is to shoot, especially with Fuji Neopan Acros 100 which is a very fine grained black and white film. x

Forks of the Credit

After last night's rain the winter wonderland is looking a little soggy out there. I did a winter hike recently inside Forks of the Credit Provincial Park and it was a much needed break from stimulus overload and a school assignment. I've been using my Olympus OM-1n for much of this winter and I have been using the same film developer as well, at some point I have to shake things up. Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko MC 50 f1.8 lens.

Time to Get out of Town

It's that time of the week again, work is winding down and it's time to hit the road. Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko MC 50 f1.8 lens. Film: ORWO UN 54, Xtol 1+1

Back Roads Caledon Part One.

The drive up to the ski every weekend can almost get a little boring so every once in while, I vary up the route a bit and I come some great photographic material. This here is Cheltanham one of many little hamlets in the Town of Caledon just off the Trans Canada Trail. I finally got around to documenting this little pocket and I plan to come back after the snow is gone and the trees turn green again. Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko MC 50 f1.8 lens.

Gone Skiing

Weekends in the winter are for strapping on two laminated boards with metal edges onto your feet and sliding downhill really fast. Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko MC 50 f1.8 lens. Film: ORWO UN54, Xtol 1+1.

Back Roads

I just discovered my favourite backroad is open again, for the past few years Maclaren Side Road was blocked due to a culvert washout just north of a century old one lane concrete bridge. I hope the bridge is maintained and not replaced because I don't want to see this road paved and development creep in. Since this road is right in the Niagara Escarpment zone and I don't think it will ever get paved. One bit of advice is give this road a pass during spring thaw as it gets really muddy. iPhone 5s, VSCOcam with the f2 preset. VSCOcam with the c1 preset.
