Last year was a big year for more premium modern 35mm cameras; you have the Pentax 17, the Lomography MC-A, and this one. The RETO Kodak Snapic A1 marked a major shift for RETO in their camera lineup. I’ve reviewed two of their previous offerings (Ultra-Wide & Slim and Kodak Ektar H35N), which are basic and cheap feeli
There’s something fun about getting into a new location and connecting with a trusted group who were more than happy to share the location. Of course, once it gets too well known, things can go downhill. And when something interesting turned up in Coburg, I knew I had to check it out. Suppose you were around when Sidbr
I have visited plenty of small blink-and-you-miss-it communities across Canada and the United States. Some have a draw, while others make you think: is it even worth stopping? The funny thing is that I didn’t even consider going to the historic hamlet of Norval; it’s one of those places that I have heard of, driven thr
Alex is back for one last solo episode before getting back to our regular episodes, and this time he’s live on location at Brock University. Alex recounts photographing the Collective2026 youth event hosted by the Presbyterian and United Churches of Canada back in August. During the event, Alex used a hybrid approach,
After I got into the Nikon autofocus system, I started looking at cameras that were better than my Nikon F80. Don’t get me wrong, the Nikon F80 was the right camera for me at the time, and it produced some fantastic images and got me on the course I’m still on today with the Nikon system. But I knew there was something
We love our advanced, top-of-the-line, high-quality cameras here on CCR. The Nikon F5 and F6, Rolleiflex, Hasselblad, and large-format cameras with multi-element lenses. But recently Alex has been digging into cameras that often are not what he typically uses and is loving the experience of keeping things simple and a
After seeing the results I got out of Kodak TMax 100, I had high hopes for Delta 100. Delta 100, being a modern emulsion, is a good film stock: sharp, lots of contrast, and some decent latitude. Add to this that I’ve seen great results from Ilford HP5+ and FP4+, could that same magic work on Delta 100? Honestly, I thin
The VCXPEX events were a great way to check out locations I usually would not see. Old industries in Ontario were few and far between and often had been restored with some adaptive reuse or so run down that it was unsafe to enter. Enter the former Hooven & Allison Rope Factory or Cordage company, depending on where you
The last time I had attended this event was back in 2009, it was then known as Canada Youth, and it was the second time I had attended the event, but the third Presbyterian Youth Conference I had ever attended. The first one I attended was in 2001 as the Presbyterian Youth Triennium at Purdue University in Indiana. The
