Not much time for photography these days — but yes, I am still alive. Taken on expired Ilford XP2 Super with the Rolleiflex.

Montreal Botanical Gardens
At the Montreal Botanical Gardens on a November evening.
Marsh lilies
All my colour photographs somehow “end up” in B&W — lately in muddy, depressing B&W. This started as a digital colour image (Nikon D70s) and then took on a life (or death) of its own.

Gone to pot
