I’ve seen a rising interest on my tea b&w film developer post lately and realized that I never did post my recipe here. It has been a while since I actually developed a roll of film with it, but this recipe worked when I did use it. Your mileage may vary. Ingredients (to make 500ml):…… Continue reading 4-Tea-C: My Own Tea B&W Film Developer Recipe

Photos from Pinhole Day 2014
The last Sunday of April is the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, or Pinhole Day for short. This year, it fell on April 27, which was yesterday. I managed to talk my husband into driving me to the town of Goderich, Ontario by the Lake Huron to take some pinhole photos with my trusty Lumix GF1…… Continue reading Photos from Pinhole Day 2014
Less Than Two Weeks Until Iceland!
This is a very late weekly post, but better late than never! I count Monday as first day of the week so, in theory, I didn’t miss a post. At least that’s what I like to believe. Our trip to Iceland is now only less than two weeks away! Of course I had to come…… Continue reading Less Than Two Weeks Until Iceland!
Lovely Saturday
This past Saturday we decided against going on a thrifting round, which is what we usually do on a Saturday. When my husband asked what I felt like doing that day, I said, “Going to Goderich and get two dozen butter tarts!” and to which he said, “That’s what I’m thinking, too!” We are so…… Continue reading Lovely Saturday
Picture This
A brand new niece came into the world almost a month ago, and as always, Aunt Firda, the long-suffering family photographer, was summoned to capture the craziness for posterity. You know what kids can’t do? Sit still. You know what poor Aunt Firda doesn’t have? A super fast lens. Like, f/0.7 fast. If photography is…… Continue reading Picture This
What We’ve Been Up To Lately
“I’ve been everywhere, man!” Well, sort of. After our trip to Newfoundland (which was fantastic, by the way), we decided to take up geocaching because we nerds needed a nerdy reason to go outside and enjoy the great outdoor. Geocaching sounds like a nerdy enough reason, even if it sometimes makes us do really stupid…… Continue reading What We’ve Been Up To Lately
Pinhole Day
Pinhole Day is only two days away! Well, technically, it’s three days away, but since the last Sunday of April this year is also Easter Sunday, they will accept pinhole photos taken between April 23 and May 1. You don’t get three days a week to come up with a pinhole photo to submit to…… Continue reading Pinhole Day
Developing B&W film with Tea
UPDATE: I posted my very own tea developer recipe here! After searching the web for information on tea-based film developer and not finding much, except for this rather inspiring forum thread, I decided to just bite the bullet and make my own tea developer based on what little information I had. I didn’t have black…… Continue reading Developing B&W film with Tea
Dental Woes
I’ve probably used the picture above in another post in the past but thought I’d post it again because it just won me a new camera bag through a photo contest held by Book Depository! There were 2260 entries when the contest ended. Who knew I’d be one of the 10 winners. I only entered…… Continue reading Dental Woes
My First Book Cover
No, this is not going to be a self-congratulatory post about how a photo of mine got selected to be included in a book by an awesome group of photographers and writers called Utata that I’ve been a member of for years, nor is this about how somehow it ended up being on the cover…… Continue reading My First Book Cover
