The Wishing Well and the Medalist
I am a creature of habit. And by “creature of habit,” I mean that when I return to places, I often revisit places that provide me the opportunity to recharge my soul. Example. While I was on my Canadian vacation this year, I took a few moments to return to the beaches along Sand Cove…

What is it with me and Canadian sunrises? What is it with me and photographing at some ungodly morning time to capture the sun as its rays kiss the shores of places like Saint’s Rest Beach or Peggy’s Cove? In the past, my Canadian photos have won some awards – The Lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove…

The first warm day on Podpadic Road
I’ve been having a lot of fun with my new Kodak Medalist II camera, and this metal beast has already proven it can handle an array of medium-format film photography, so long as I respool 120 film onto 620 spools. A small inconvenience if I can get decent photos out of it. As part of…

As I walked through the snow-coated, ice-choked portions of the nearby trails, I heard a waterfall. Of course that means I’m going to…

Welcoming the Kodak Medalist II
When it comes to medium format photography – using 120 and 616 film, as opposed to 35mm film – I’ve had hits and misses with my cameras. Many of my medium format camera that were once in my possession – the Holga, the Kowa Super 66, the Kodak Brownie Bull’s-Eye – have gone from “Chuck…

Getting some purple passion
I love experimenting with film. It’s fun to create new images and new photography concepts. Part of working with film is to use the properties of the film itself to create something special in the final image. I’ve already experimented with redscale film, expired film, cross-processing and sprocket-hole photography. Now to take this to the…
