I rediscovered my film camera, a Canon DSLR that was gifted to me from my mother (that was gifted from her Uncle). It’s been in our family for decades. I purchased a couple rolls of Kodak gold 200 film, and set out to get some images. Here are a couple from my first test roll, nothing specific, just a few shots from a downtown walk on a fall afternoon.
Nothing compares to the tangible grain from a roll of film.
Last week I woke up and the city was covered in the most gorgeous blanket of fog. I grabbed my camera and ventured out to take some photos in the haze.
Always after a rain, always with rolling clouds overhead; the city looks so beautiful on a rainy night.
Spring is slowing coming through here in Manitoba. It feels like we are late to the game this year, with all the cooler temps and dreary rainy days, so it is nice to see these small green leaves. Makes me excited for warmer days ahead.
A few pics from today. I travelled home, quick day-trip to my hometown and was it ever beautiful. Nice to see after a long winter. *Shot with my Canon Rp*
I got up early on Sunday (around 5:30am) to get my butt out the door and take some sunrise photos. I was a bit resistant when I initially got up, but a bit of coffee and the brisk morning air got me going. The sky was a bit cloudy but it felt so good to run around the quiet streets and the empty sidewalks getting some great shots. I’ve attached a few pictures from my morning 🙂
Just a few snaps of downtown Winnipeg on a gloomy day.
Finally giving my studio a much needed refresh. New writing desk, new work table and chairs are making things so much more inviting. The space is feeling really good so I wanted to share a pic as I switch things up. As I get everything in its place, I’ll post up more pics.
This place is where all my creativity comes together and I’m so happy to share this with everyone.
Winnipeg is a place I call home, and always a source of creative inspiration. From the train yards to the city skyline, I am always downtown and walking my familiar routes. I snapped these photos and layered them together, taking what is familiar to me and creating something that is unfamiliar…metal blends into metal and the skyline melts into itself.
The city feels so much better in black and white. Love the contrast of light and dark and how surface textures seem to pop. With our current restrictions, I’ve been living downtown lately and spending lots of time at my studio. I always try to snap as many pics as I can, so here’s a few.
