I've been inspired of late by some YouTube videos I have watched dealing with photographing small towns. I want to make it my assignment this spring/summer/fall (I hate winter driving so those towns will have to be local) to finally photograph some of the towns we visit. There are many towns that we drive through that I always say "I want to photograph this town some day!"

Well now I want to do it. It will be a new series on my blog. It will be mostly digital because I am too slow getting my film developed, especially the B&W rolls. I will still shoot some film but it will be mostly digital.

I do already have some towns that I have shot, such as Orangeville, Elora, Stayner, Collingwood. But I want to delve deeper into the town's history. I want to show off some of the businesses and people of the towns.

Sometimes something goes wrong but it turns out to be a cool print.

Photos from last year's Black Lives Matter rally in Barrie. Shot on film and due to COVID-19 it took me a while to get the roll developed. I also have some photos shot on color film to be added.

With everything that has been happening with the pandemic and the social distancing I have been trying to shoot but not as much as I am used to. I have been shooting a lot more digital as photography stores have been closed, and as I have had my hours cut in my everyday job so I haven't been shooting as much film as I usually do. I have been working on a couple projects such as abandoned places and photographing "barn quilts". Both of these have called for long drives on country roads which have both gotten us out the house and avoided people in general. I have done a bit of "quarantine" shots but not as much as I would have liked. I just wanted to give a little update as to what I have been up too..:

I have rediscovered the love of shooting film. I really enjoy the process of film photography.

Here is some of my work taken on film, most of it is "street/urban" photography
