Taken on a winter afternoon in Sherwood Park, part of the Don River ravine system that runs through my neighbourhood in mid-town Toronto. Shooting details are the same as for the previous image; I added a vignette in PS.

Smoking monolith
An apartment building in my neighbourhood, seen against a winter sky. This was taken using the Nikon FG and Kiron 28mm f/2.0 lens on Efke 25, developed in Rodinal 1+50. I applied some edge sharpening, a vignette, and toning in PS.
Peeling painted pedestal
This is the base of a flagpole at a major public high-school in my neighbourhood. I took this photograph with Efke 25 film from Croatia, an extremely fine-grained (and easy-to-scan) conventional B&W film.

Nikon F90, 50mm f/1.8 lens, taken on Ilford FP4 Plus film reversal-processed to a slide. Sorry for the lack of posting here lately — things have been very busy and are likely to get even busier. I hope to at least get some new (or old) material up here very soon.

More of the same scene. Shooting details are the same as the previous photo. Happy 2007 everyone!

Taken this summer near Port Rexton, Nfld. Nikon FG, 24mm f/2.8 lens, orange filter, Ilford FP4 Plus. I am aiming for a more understated style in my PS work — am I succeeding?
