Continuing with the experiment, a few highlights from a roll of Portra 800. Looking at these results (and the Cinnestill 800 roll), it’s apparent I’m having difficulty with the Pentax K1000’s split circle focusing patch. Or there’s possibly an issue with its calibration. Either way, my impression is now firmly in the ‘non-plussed’ category.
Welp. On a whim I picked up a couple of rolls of film to have another go. The YouTube algorithm apparently thought I should be watching videos about Cinestill 800T. My expectations were not high given my previous experience shooting film but I’m pleased with the results. Here are a few samples:

This is some hardcore family nostalgia mainlined straight into my heart. Yes, it’s 80 minutes. You’ve been warned. Maybe take this in over a weekend. I mean, if you’re family; it’s likely not of interest unless you know us 🙂.

It’s that time of year. Once the holiday madness dies down a bit, I like to reflect on the previous year’s photos and start to cull together my top picks for a photo book. I’ve been doing this for the last few years now and I find it to be a great way to enjoy my photos in a more tactile way.
I had a great time shooting photos at the 10C Epic Party this past weekend. It was amazing to see so many incredible artists, musicians and community advocates come together to support this amazing space. The highlight for me was a beautiful and intimate performance by The Lifers. Check them out if you’re into softly plucked strings, accordion swells and lush harmonies!
I’m so grateful our friends Rory and Lauren graciously allowed me to photograph their beautiful daughter Harlow’s one year milestone. It was great to see her just starting to walk around and explore their space. We haven’t seen them as much since they moved a few streets away from our neighbourhood, so it was fun to catch up with them as well.
