(I fully intended to finish a roll of XP2 Super yesterday, but it did not happen, so I decided to dig into some older mobile phone photos.)

Thank-you! 😊 It was a bit lucky that there was a dark background (high hedge) that allowed for some big contrast, especially with slide!

Admittedly, I'm getting a little close. Even with extensive muting, blocking, noodling with feeds, and all that, too much breaks through.

At Least The Weather Was Nice!

Gosh! Fall is usually when I get a bit more photographic wind in my sails, but so far this year, its mostly doldrums. And neither the excitement of slide nor of pumpkins conjured much more than a l…

View from across the street of a university campus' heating plant, concrete building covered in precast panels. A near cruciform stack emerges from the back. A bus stop stands alongside the street.

Small home in a residential area in the style of a stone cottage, as seen from the opposite corner of an intersection. Both the house's white trim and a white picket fence marking the property are picking up the bright morning sun.

Underside of red maple leaves on a tree picking up bright sunlight.

some of the better (not blurred) shots from my lomomatic.

a photo of a cobbled street with vintage style buildings on either side, and a group of people taking pictures.

a triple exposure. my hand is silhouetted against the bright sky, with a shot of a tree's branches within the silhouette. a shadow of a building is just about visible behind my hand.

a photo of a brutalist outdoor concrete staircase, with a photographer at the bottom of the stairs, walking by.

a double exposure. one shot is of vertical window blinds. the other is of a eurasian robin hopping towards a scoop full of suet pellets.

I’ve now had mine for three years and while I don’t use it enough (the pre-Ai 85/1.8 has my heart), it’s really really special. A real gem for sure.

Fall, almost three years hence. 🍂

Jack-o-lantern on the front porch of a home, as seen from an angle. The squirrels have begun eating it.

Vine with red leaves running from the ground to a hanging potted plant beside the back door of a home.

Chubbed up fall squirrel standing up looking toward the camera. It looks like its saying "Me?!? You've chosen ME?!? Why, I've never won anything in my life!"

Thank-you! In addition to colour, Fall is my favourite season for texture too!

Giving Thanks For Fall Girl Wandering

Saturday’s adventure began on the last roll, actually. Photo 12 over there, at the tennis courts. It was an adventure in which we wanted it all, really. With all of the stores closed on Monda…

Saturday was a blend of Thanksgiving errands and Fall Girl Wanders. In other words, a good day :)

Shopping carts lined up at the side of a parking lot for a small mid-century grocery store. Across the lot and on the other side of a berm elevating a freeway, an apartment is under construction.

A man sits on a patio enjoying a beer. His dog sits in the chair beside him.

Metal barrel trash can at the corner of a small municipal park. The north wall of a 1930s apartment is visible in the background.

Yellow bricks and other assorted building materials in a dumpster.

Haha! You bet! It's how I think the cats see me when I'm trying to make photos of them.

A milk door is a small door that the person delivering milk would be able to place the bottles in when nobody was home! Since almost nobody has had milk delivered in decades, they're not really a thing anymore.

There is a photo of one in this link :)

No, I didn't mess up the horizon here. That's just how some houses lean on land deformed by more than a century of underground mining.

Okay, it's not usually *this* bad. This one specific village in my area is by far the worst I've seen, I don't know why.

an old house behind a fence. doesn't look so bad from this angle, but...

...this angle reveals just how bad it is.

Mirrored-glass selfie, made in the mirrored glass of a dentist's office. Reflected is myself, a woman in a black trench coat and medium-grey witch-style hat with black camera to her face. In the background is a parking lot with vehicles.

Pile of pumpkins (pie pumpkins, regular orange pumpkins, and white pumpkins) outside of a grocery store.

View between two benches outside of a municipal tennis court on a quiet morning. Two plastic adirondack-slash-muskoka-style chairs have been positioned on either side of the door to the enclosure.

Angled view from across the street of a small 1940s single-storey home in a residential areal. If I ever did own a home, it would be one like this I'd want. As long as the milk door was still operational.
