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. I developed it in Rodinal 1+50 for 5 minutes at 18C (the cold temperature was used to slow down and even out…
Subway scene
On the south end of the subway, heading north. Olympus Stylus Epic, Tri-X, Instant MYTOL 1+1.
Actual new photography
Trying to get things moving here on the new site: some wrought-iron gates near the U of T campus seen on a snowy Sunday a few weeks ago. Taken with the Olympus Stylus Epic on Tri-X Pan film, developed in Instant MYTOL 1+1 (8 mins at 23C).
Eaton Centre Crowd (December 24th, 2001)
I took this picture on December 24th, 2001 at the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto (I lived in Boston at the time, but was on a visit home). The mall was full of people doing their last-minute shopping, and I saw this amazing scene from the floor above. I braced myself against a railing, exhaled…

I snapped some pictures near Convocation Hall before I left U of T a couple of weeks ago. Here’s one of them. Taken with the Yashicamat on Ilford FP4 Plus, developed in “Instant MYTOL” 1+1. On a related note, I’m thinking of radically re-organizing my blog, perhaps merging the photoblog and “words” sections. Or at…

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.

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?
0636-34
Taken August 2006 in Port Rexton, Nfld. For the next several weeks (probably months) I’ll be posting a lot of B&W images (all shot on 35mm Ilford FP4 Plus and HP5 Plus with my Nikon FG and 24mm lens) from our Newfoundland trip this summer. I have a number of rolls to go through and…
