Worked in the mining industry, and at the union hall. Retired, and relocated to Hamilton. I take black and white photos now. All photos are mine, and all films were developed in my kitchen sink...
Cue the terrorists...

The main concern for Trump and Bibi is how are they going to frame thenselves as the "good guys" in this conflict.
28.02.2026 12:50 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Trump's plan for the Nobel Peace Prize is in motion. He starts a war with Iran. Later on, win or lose, he will declare he ended the war and will then be deserving of the award. It would be hung over the fireplace, along with the one He stole.

A black and white photograph of James St. N in Hamilton. Three pedestrians can be seen walking along the sidewalk. There is also a bag of trash on the curb, because Thursday was garbage day.

A black and white photograph of the exterior wall of an old building. In the photo is a door with a very old painted sign in the window, "Popular Priced Electricians". Beside the door there is a window with a potted plant visible.
"Popular Priced Electricians", used a vintage camera to photograph an even more vintage door.

I looked at it, but it stretched my budget and I already had a dslr, which heavily weighed in favour if the Valoi.

A black and white photo of a pedestrian walking down the sidewalk in a snow squall.
My Monday morning photo shoot didn't go as I had hoped. The light was poor, the snow squall didn't help

When I took up film again a couple of years ago, I did it on a budget. I dug out the old gear, and downloaded drivers for an old Epson V330 Photo, I had been using for document scanning. It worked well enough that I didn't lose interest, but I needed better, curling was one issue, speed was another.
25.02.2026 14:57 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I use a a dslr and Valoi Easy 35 for scanning. Curling negatives is not an issue I have to be concerned about. Curled negatives load just as well as flat flat ones

I changed the light seals and took this old beauty out for a shoot. I haven't put film through this in in perhaps 25 years. I developed the film this afternoon and its now hanging to dry. No sign of light leaks and the negatives are looking good.

A black and white photograph of an abandoned house that is in ruins. It is surrounded by trees and shrubs that have clearly grown up, after it was left by whoever lived there.

A black and white photo taken on a foggy morning at the top of the Niagara Escarpment in Hamilton. I shows the fence that runs beside the walkway on the left. On the right it shows the steep forested slope.

Typical Trump, send the hospital ship to Greenland, but don't send it to Iran where he plans a war.

A black and white photo of a deteriorating garage on the Niagara Peninsula. This is a favourite location to test new to me equipment and/or film stock. In this case it was film, Fuji Acros II.
Another shot at a favourite location to test a new to me film stock. I think I will keep a few rolls handy.

This black and white photo shows an abandoned schoolhouse on the Niagara Peninsula. It was built in 1894 and was in use until 1965. I used this favourite location to test a new to me film stock, Fuji Acros II.
