{ Canada + Film }

Remember I visited Canada this past summer? The trip I have hardly blogged about, the trip from which I still have hundreds of photographs to proof and develop and print…well, it’s time. Yes, Miss Ellen. 

I took perhaps three hundred digital images in Canada – a mix of buildings, Starbucks frappucinos (LOL), people, little details, lakes in the North, my feet, my reflection in skyscrapers… and I love them. They are such a wonderful reminder of the fun and laughter we shared whilst there, and those photographs will I treasure forever. But I recently got some of my film images back from the lab, and when I heard the quiet thud of the brown envelope as it fell through the letterbox, as I sat down in the kitchen all ready to open it up, as I looked through slowly smiling at each one of the 72 pictures….when I came across one of my little sister, sitting quietly in our log cabin on the lake, writing or drawing, or perhaps both, with the morning Ontario sunlight spilling through the screen door…forming pretty patterns on the floor…I knew that would be my favourite picture from my visit, no matter how many others I looked through. I just knew. It’s not such a great photograph technically but it conveys such an aura, such a time and a place, that I cannot help but adore it. So here it is…taken with my beautiful little Pentax 35mm and a 50mm lens. I Love It.

There are many more where this came from. So I promise, and this time I promise to keep to it, that my next post will be about Canada too. I’ve gathered all my images and am getting round to proofing and thinking about it. So…I’m ready.

See you, have a nice Sunday and give me some blog lovin’ ;)
