Stillness on my street after the snow
Lanaudiere, Quebec, Jan 2024.
"Mon pays, ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver
Mon jardin, ce n'est pas un jardin, c'est la plaine
Mon chemin, ce n'est pas un chemin, c'est la neige
Mon pays, ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver"
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse but here's the day 7 installment of my winter photo advent calendar thingy. No digital filter was used on this photo. All the special effects are courtesy of the crappy camera (a Coronet Flashmaster bakelite camera from the 1950's) and my sloppy film developing technique. You're welcome.
It's day 5 of my self-imposed Winter Photo Advent Calendar thingy. I'm pretty sure I shot this using one of those crappy, plastic, 35mm film cameras with the little Panorama/Normal toggle. It was so cold, the other cameras I had with me just froze.
If you live in the Waterloo Region (as in Ontario, Canada), you should recognize this covered bridge.
Just to have something to motivate myself to post some photos, I've set myself to do a winter photo advent calendar type thing. Hopefully I have 24 winter photos that I like enough to share here. We'll see how it goes.
This is one of my favourite winter photos. Took it with my beloved Hasselblad 500C/M on some random expired film years ago. I entered it in a very non-prestigious photo contest once and I won a camera bag lol.
