There’s an ethereal quality in the image towards the right edge of the frame — caused by a bit of lens flare… but it appears as if the film grain is commingling with the very light that it’s trying to contain.

Don’t you just love film?

Springtime in Toronto, Part 3.

Another “winter hat portrait”… it’s supposed to be spring, but it sure doesn’t feel like it.

On another note, I’m hooked on the look of medium format film.

All else doesn’t quite measure up.

Now I’m in trouble.

Eyes – Test Shot Portrait (Mamiya Tilt/Shift).

My first portrait using the Mamiya 180mm f/4.5 Short Barrel lens with the Mamiya Tilt/Shift Adapter.

I really should be supporting this heavy and unwieldy gear with a tripod, but I’ve avoided tripods all my life (ahhh the undisciplined life of a candid photographer).

Not bad though. I see great potential with this set-up.
