It was my birthday yesterday which means even more reminiscing than usual.

So as I was going through some folders on my computer I came across this photograph.

I learned photography on a film camera back in high school. it was a Minolta that I'd bought from my next door neighbour when I was 17 and it cost me $75. Interestingly it re-sells for more than that these days.
I used it a lot - even taking it to New York when I was in grade 12 - but these days it does a lot of sitting around. The work I've been doing requires an element of immediacy - or at least longer than it would take for me to get film developed, choose prints, get prints developed. There's an expectation when you're photographing on a job vs. shooting for yourself. 
I've been missing those 'happy accidents' that would turn up sometimes on film.

This is one of them - a double exposure of my grape vine and dog Suzy in my backyard on June 19, 2013. It's one of 2 double exposures that were on this roll of film and I just love them.

I often forget to share my instagram pics here on the blog, so feel free to find and follow me over there!
