If anyone has been checking into my blog, and noticed I haven’t been around for two weeks, its because I just returned from a two week trip out east to Nova Scotia! I traveled out east with my girlfriend Sabrina and her family to visit their relatives in Halifax and Ingonish. We endured some long drives, and some rainy weather, but the trip was an absolute blast! I am excited to now be able to say I’ve seen a good chunk of my own country. I’m sure I will be making several blog posts with images from this trip, but here are the first few that I edited on the flight home.

Here are some recent frames I developed in the darkroom. The holga is amazing for light leaks, overlapping exposures, and for showing off any other flaws only a plastic camera can offfer!

Above is a double exposure of a truck and some trees.

So headley and I head out to shoot the stars near Monarch. All of the roads are dirt and gravel. With most of the snow melting lately, the main route to where we wanted to go was all flooded. We headed back to a main gravel road, and turned down a farm field to flip a shitty. I even tested the ground to make sure it wasn’t muddy before pulling into the field. Turns out 5 feet ahead of us was a mud bog, and we sunk right in. After a half hour of pushing the car in the mud, we grabbed two jackets full of train track rocks to get some traction. We get to the main road, and shot a short timelapse, and then a timelapse back to the city to find a car wash.

Apparently swollen members are swinging through our city soon, so i dropped their track in here. Wind Effect by Matthew Harty.

Last night was a lot clearer than the previous night we went out to shoot. So I threw my camera and tripod up on my back deck and just left it there for a half hour, just because.

I had planned on meeting up with Danny Ponomar, and Rob Olson to go shoot stars outside of town, but by the time we added a few more photogs to the roster it was cloudy. We ended up over at the westside mine site, and walked around trying to shoot something semi interesting. Here’s one of the shots I took, its composed of four photos and composited in photoshop with various perspective shifts to get the straight lines.
