A Sunday walk took us out to Assiniboine Park again and we adventured out to the Air Force Heritage Park that was not too far away. I struggle both with good exposure … And with developing this roll of film as half of if suffered from streaks. That or my lens was really dirty. -KMSB

This roll takes us back to Assiniboine Park and out to Winnipeg’s floodway. The Bales made for great textured shots in black and white. -KMSB

I had had some troubles with my mum’s Voigtlander Brilliant from the start. The camera was first my grandfather’s who bought it in the displaced persons camp in Germany after the war.

A drive out of town had us stop in Cooks Creek where one of the churches hosts a grotto to Our Lady of Lourde. It was a challenging place to take pictures and it forced me to realize that I have a tendency to take my black and whites while still thinking in colour. I […]

The first of two rolls that were taken during a camping trip to Hecla Island Provincial Park. It was a fun trip but it was also the continuation of horizontal lines while using my filters. -KMSB

The last roll of film was the start of a series of images taken at Pile Henge just outside Winnipeg. It is also lovely called the Cement Cemetery and is worth the walk through the tall grass to explore the unique scenery. Just make sure your tetanus shots are up to date. -KMSB
