The latest episode of CCR is live! And today's special guest, David Smith, has a rather unique collection, antique microscopes, which led to getting into film photography

Lister Block, once a crown jewel of the downtown Hamilton exploration scene, and is now fully restored and didn't end up being a parking lot.

24mm is not wide enough, but 14mm is too wide (is there such a thing?). How about a nice medium, the 20mm lens? My copy is a bit hazy, but on film it doesn't matter!

If there is one developer that changed my mind about home-developing and black-and-white photography, it's Kodak HC-110!

The latest episode of CCR is live, and we get rather nerdy here as we talk about all things Pentax K-Mount!

I don't often revisit previous reviews, but after using a lot of Kentmere 400, I felt it was only fair to give Kentmere 400 another try after bashing it in my original review.

It's funny that my first real camera was not an SLR...but a rangefinder, a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s, while I don't use too many rangefinders today, I still use Minoltas.

Kodak TMax 400 is hailed as being one of the sharpest films out there, but how about its latitude? Actually, that's pretty good also!

The two historic downtowns that I've photographed the most are Old Oakville and Old Milton. But today we're back in historic Old Milton, my hometown.

It's not often we get treated to a brand new film stock, and of all the films released last year, Kentmere 200 was the one that I got excited about, and for good reason. It's an amazing film stock.

After about a year of writing on Substack, I figured it would be a good time to do a reintroduction on that platform.
