Canadian Mono

I’ve been scanning negatives for weeks, literally, stuck in my basement with 119 sheets of developed medium format film that I shot in Canada last September. I started with the important stuff, mostly shot on 6x7cm colour film, it’s amazing what I’d forgotten.
I shot quite a bit of personal stuff in Yellowknife alongside the project work. I shot most of this with black and white film (Kodak Tri-X 400) using a Mamiya 645 Pro TL camera. I’m just getting to these photos now…

These are the first of a few images that I’ll post.

    “I’ve been scanning negatives for weeks, literally, stuck in my basement with 120 sheets of developed medium format film…” Now there’s the argument against shooting film. There’s no arguing with the results though.

        Yea, I’ve noticed. And to be honest I wouldn’t mind joining you in being stuck for weeks scanning. One day, one day : )

    I learned on film and still hope for the day that my dream house will have a spare bathroom I can turn into a darkroom…. Granted digital is vey convinient for gigs… But no technology can ever be as engaging as film!
