A selection of 35mm photos that I shot on Kodak Ektachrome E100 with my father’s refurbished Pentax K-1000 this summer.
OUR LONG WALK HOME
Our Long Walk Home was a symbolic walk on Emancipation Day, Saturday August 1st 2020, with the goal of encouraging people to join, participate, and contribute to the campaign of reclaiming and rebuilding the Negro Community Center (NCC), Montreal’s oldest Black community center.
The event was hosted by Revive NCC, DESTA Black Youth Network, Coalition de la Petite-Bourgogne / Quartier en santé, Cote Des Neiges Black Community Association.
Thank you to all the beautiful souls that permitted me to show support and walk by their side and to photograph them during a very important event.
Poolside – Kodak Portra 400
A selection of photos which I shot yesterday following a heavy thunderstorm. I’m still learning how to use the Rolleiflex SL66 and finding out that it has some issues that need fixing. Several shots didn’t turn out, but I can still appreciate the oneiric quality of the darker ones. My visit to this hidden spot was in-part a location scouting assignment for a film which I have been intermittently scripting for nearly a decade.
Studio – Work In Progress – 35mm
Some 35mm behind-the-scenes images shot on FujiChrome – Provia 100F and Kodak 400 by me and my studio mate Marco Royal between January and July 2020.
Justice For George Floyd & All Victims Of Police Racism
A selection of my photos from the Montreal Solidarity Demonstration, Sunday, May 31 2020. Thank you to all the beautiful souls that permitted me to show support and walk by their side and to photograph them during a very important demonstration denouncing police killings of Black Lives.
At The Drive-In – FujiChrome – Provia 100F
Some colourful 35mm photos captured on FujiChrome, Provia 100F, during an excursion with fellow photographer Tania Dos Santos.
Montreal to Toronto – TRI-X 320
Armed with Roy’s Rolleiflex SL66 and several expired rolls of Kodak TRI-X 320 Film, I left for Toronto to surprise Hayden at his 40th birthday party.
Below are a selection of shots from the four rolls of film that I shot during my short trip. It took me a while to get a hang of the camera, so several shots didn’t turn out, but I’m very pleased with the ones that did. They are more eerie and evocative than I could have hoped for.
I’ll def be shooting with the Rolleiflex SL66 again.
