This is the Okotoks Erratic near Okotoks on Highway 7. It was really funny cause we were driving along and josh is like I think there is a big rock around here that is supposed to be cool. I am not really sure where this is but I have heard of a big rock! and I was like that one! pointing to this huge rock jutting out from the otherwise flat prairie! We were going to drink a big rock on the big rock (I don’t think anyone has cause the rock was littered with Kokanee & Pilsener cans) but being that I was hungover from the night before and we had a whack of driving ahead, I declined! Anyway go here for more info

I can stick my holga fisheye on all kinds of things

So I have a fisheye lens for my holga and lately I have been sticking it on every camera I can find including my Finepix s700 point & shoot. Good times indeed :) I can also stick it on my video camera, and if i am feeling very adventurous i can even hold it up to my eye and walk about!

Polaroid of the Chess Playing Dude in Calgary.

November 14, 2007 Breaking Film, Polaroid & Film, Polaroid SX70 2 comments

Well I am back from our epic road trip to Banff and Calgary! Josh and I left Thursday morning (only 45min late :p) and fired out towards Banff stopping along the way for photo glory. We both stocked up on film for our various Polaroid & film cameras, as well as I had my Canon nearby for the entire trip. (I do endeavour to get some of these photos on the blog before I am 50) The actual purpose of our road trip was to go and see Matthew Good play in Banff. (Not that Matt Good reads my blog but I would totally pay 5 bux for a improv show by the way!!) It was an awesome show filled with tonnes of witty banter! It was funny for the second time ever I decided that it would be best to leave my camera behind! I did for Regina Spektor and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I wasn’t overly concerned about jockeying for position or where the best photo would be, I just sat back and enjoyed it! The same held true here I had a good time with out any cameras! We crashed out at the Best Western in Banff and I swear we were the only ones in the hotel! I was like a bad horror movie really. They had lots of coffee two steps from our door so I drank coffee most of the night. :) After Banff we meandered off to Calgary for a few days to hang out with some of Josh’s friends including A from the Awesome Unit (long story) and Kim. Good time all around! There was some Calgary photo wandering which including this.

The Chess playing Dude in Calgary!

This is a photo I have been waiting to take for 4 or 5 years :) It has fond memories from my days in Calgary! Mostly involving some beer and some late night shenanigans but fond none the less!

A Seagull came to my house and I am going to name it Jonathan Livingston

So today the Canada post guy came and brought me something special! He brought me a Seagull from china. No it isn’t a bird and No I need not be worried about the H5N1 Virus! No sir what the Canada post guy brought me was a different kind of seagull. He brought me a limited Edition Seagull TLR Camera in RED/GOLD.
Seagull Twin Reflex CameraSeagull Twin Reflex Camera

Seagull Twin Reflex Camera		 The Seagull is a super cool China built Twin Lens Reflex camera! It will take 12 6cm x 6cm exposures on a regular roll of 120 film. (Same as an old Hasselblad) A totally mechanical leaf shutter (IE No batteries required) has speeds of 1/300 right down to 1 sec and bulb in full stop increments
The 75mm (I am guessing around 30mm in 35mm Equivalent) features a range of apertures from f/3.5 to f/22. It has a waist finder with a focusing loupe and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to see film with all kinds of weird parallax problems. Today Josh and I went for a wander and I shot a couple of rolls through it and dropped them off at Custom Color. We will see tomorrow what they yield

This was Miranda when I told her how many photos we shot at our wedding! :)
