Some photos I took this fall using Ilford film. I’d it’s my favorite for b&w.

I photographed Anne for her blog a while back. She’s shuch a lovely lady and her cooking is amazing. I sampled a gingerbread cake and a delicious quinoa and beet salad on the day I took these photos. On top of that, as I was about to finish up, she decided to make some homemade granola! It’s clear her passion is cooking and baking for her family. Everything tastes like it was made with a little extra dash of love.

Apple picking with my beautiful mother:

(Still experiencing some light leakage…)

As mentioned, I had a roll of black and white film being processed. I definitely have a big soft spot for black and white photography & I’m pretty happy with how this roll turned out (even with the light leak issue).

I’ve been shooting 35mm film with my Minolta x-700 for a year or so now and I’ve always been pretty happy with the results. This roll I was a little sad to see some pretty intense light leaks happening, so I’ll have to look into fixing it once the roll that’s currently in there is finished up.

I still have a b&w roll that I’m waiting on and I’m hoping that one didn’t get as affected by the leak, but I’m preparing myself for it. It’s such a different relationship with the images when they’re taken this way and especially when I get them processed at Black’s and that part of the image-making is out of my hands.

Regardless, I’m in love with some of these images and I can so vividly recall the feeling at the time that most of these photos were taken; the first few at a friend’s birthday/Canada Day weekend in Lunenburg and the last diptych from my cousin’s wedding on a rainy July day in Moncton.
