Having just been through an old box of photographs, I found an album from the year I spent in Canada back in 2004. This particular album is a collection of shots from a camping trip to Algonquin Provincial Park where Bill and I had our first holiday together! Back then I didn't have a digital camera so everything was shot on film using my Canon AE-1, given to me by my father before moving to Toronto. I'm so glad I found these photos, it was such a wonderful trip and I would love to do more camping in the Canadian and American wilderness! Such impressive, beautiful scenery and life there. So this is sort of a belated Canada Day post for Sunday and a premature Independence Day post for tomorrow; dedicated to my love of the North American continent where I hope to return one day soon!
Flora: the lake we camped at (the name of which escapes me now, sadly).
Fauna: the infant moose we encountered before it turned and ran from us.
Love these!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica! Finding these has reminded me how much I love photographing with film.
DeleteWow, those are with a film camera? It's quite fortunate that you didn't run into the momma moose
ReplyDeleteI know, so lucky! We just stopped in our tracks to see what it would do and as I snapped a few photos it turned and ran!
Deletejo! these are so lovely!! what a great idea....and such iconic shots of canada, too! :) (you're really making me want to visit my cottage now...)
ReplyDeleteThank you! You really should visit that cottage - look at your country, it's amazing!
DeleteOoh I just got a canon AV-1 which I am trying out. Love your pictures and styling. A whole album like that would be super cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! I have been thinking of doing a series like this. Look forward to seeing results from your AV-1.
DeleteTheses are wicked jo.. I totally love your style!
ReplyDeleteI miss film cameras too - I've just found my dads old olympus that I'm going to fix up, exciting times.
Thanks Tori! Good luck with the fix up. Love finding old cameras!
DeleteGreat photos! Breathtaking! I've always wanted to go to Canada. It's such a beautiful country. I also love what you did with that photo layout. Really great, Jo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ciara! I love Canada, I miss it a lot.
DeleteVery pretty! I should spend more time in the wild.
