Calgary On A Roll Of Film

Calgary On A Roll Of Film, originally uploaded by Luke T..

Recently I went to Calgary for just over a week.
Visited some friends.
Did some hiking.
OK did a lot of hiking.
Drank a lot of coffee.
Met some awesome people.
Pretty much just fell in love with the city.

A few days before going to Calgary I picked up a Canon 7D.
That and the 15mm fish-eye.
Obviously I took them with me.
But what I set out to do was not use them.
Well, as much as possible.
I wanted to make this a rather analog week.
Not lo-fi in the sense that most people would think, with a plastic taped up camera and expensive square film, but just going back to where my love started and sharing that experience with a new and exciting one.
I feel far to often like shooting digital is cheating on photography with technology.
Anyways.
So I took a few rolls of film, the AE-1(everyone has these) and a box of polaroid(which I will scan eventually).
I don't care about my AE-1.
I haven't cared about any of them.
I've had a few.
But I feel because I don't care about them I tend to take them out more.
That, combined with the mysteries of film, tend to produce some of my favorite shots.
This one for instance.
Anyways.
I shot just film.
Films.
It was a ton of fun.
So was the trip.
I can't wait to go back.

....find me an apartment in Kensington maybe?
