I’ve embarked on a new adventure: I’m now developing my own black and white film at home. Neat!

I ruined about half of the first roll I attempted, but the second roll was pretty close to flawless. The frames below are nothing special, but make me happy because I made them all on my own.

k-country hike | film

Last month I went for a hike with a couple dudes I’ve been friends with for over 25 years – crazy. Our plan was to hike Mt. Burke, but when we got to the turn off the highway the bridge across the river was closed due to damage from the summer floods. So we did what any adventurer would do – found the nearest pullout on the highway, picked a hill and walked as far up it as we could.

Obviously, we threw rocks into the river once we got back down.

All photos shot with a Contax G2 on Fuji film.

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to see these amazing light beams shining into Antelope Canyon when I was there. Truly a once in a lifetime trip – I hope I managed to do this place justice.

Antelope Canyon was so impressive. The curved, striated rock and those crazy light beams were truly something to behold. Photos don’t really do it justice.

Inglewood is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Calgary and a great place to snap a few frames. I took a short walk there a few days ago and rattled off a roll of film.

Remember #FilmFriday? Yeah, me neither

Anyway – here’s a frame of the youngster on Portra 400. A little bit of cuteness to get your weekend started.

I had a few minutes before a family shoot last night so I grabbed a few quick frames of the swiftly turning leaves here in Calgary. Autumn is fleeting here, but the short time we get is beautiful.

Easter Seals Drop Zone 2012

Last Thursday I was part of a team of volunteer photographers covering the Easter Seals Drop Zone here in Calgary. Over 100 participants (mostly dressed as superheroes) who raised a minimum of $1500 each rappelled 30 stories down the side of the Sun Life Tower in support of Easter Seals. The goal this year was to raise $200,000 and they absolutely blew that out of the water reaching a total of over $300,000!

I was lucky enough to be placed on the roof all day to shoot the participants as they were getting clipped in and made the first few terrifying steps down the building. It was pretty amazing to watch some of the superheroes conquer their fears and I can’t say enough positive things about the climbing support team from RAT and Crux Climbing and Bouldering. The entire team was so fun and supportive and made me feel completely safe while I was clipped in to the roof all day.

Big thanks to Jason over at Crush Photography who organized all of us photographers for the day – you did a great job, buddy!

And for last, here’s a screenshot taken from the GoPro helmet cam from one of the participants who works for a local news station. I’m in full power pose photographing this dude

Nature….and Rory

Brei and I decided to take Rory on her first little hike up to Elbow Falls last week – and I took a few pictures.

I figured it was probably time for Rory to hit the blog again. We made our way over to our friends place for dinner this past Saturday night and had a great time catching up and hanging out.

P.S. I forgot how much I love my 50mm
