golden spike
paperback
This photo was cross-processed from slide film. The odd thing was that the roll had very little colour shifting and is mostly just very grainy.
slow spring
It’s nothing new, but spring in Toronto is certainly coming in half-steps this year. Yesterday we were down by the lake at Flash in the Can and the wind was so nasty and cold. Brrrrrr.
Today does not promise to be much better but at least there is more sun right now.
squirrel
Many of the squirrels in Toronto’s High Park are so tame in the presence of people that they will come right up to you and take food from your hand. They will even come within a foot or so to have their pictures taken. I like squirrels.
burrs and barbs
I don’t have a links page but if I did it would include the new double-barrel photoblog: FiftyMillimeter.com
wormy wood
Here’s one of the pictures from the first roll put through the $20 Zenit EM SLR I got recently. The standard Helios 58mm lens it quite nice and is enjoyable to use in the manual stopped-down mode. On some of my shots I was overzealous in shooting everything with the aperture wide open. The Helios is an f2 lens so I had a few shots that were a bit washed out. I’ve gotten to used to the f3.5 28-80mm lens I think.
I think the Zenit will be a really nice compliment to the AE-1 or even to take on its own if I want to carry something marginally smaller.
