More photos from our stay in Montreal. If the photo is digital, it was taken using a Panasonic GX-8 and if it was film, it was taken on Ilford XP2 Super using a Leica M4-P.

Maybe my favorite mural of the many I saw around the city.
A very large Leonard Cohen.
Not entirely sure what this is supposed to be.
I wish I would have kept track of exactly where we went each day we were in the city, but the short of it is that we tried to explore as many neighborhoods as we could. I believe that our second day had us walking through the “Gay Village” out to Plateau-Mont-Royal, stopping at parks and cafes as we went along.
Anyway, here are the photos! Everything film was taken with a Leica M4-P and Fujicolor 200, everything digital with a Leica M10-D.
We were staying downtown and I took these photos as we made our way back to our hotel. The last photo was taken during a nighttime walk while the rest of the family was sleeping.
We went to Montreal this summer for a little family vacation in a new (to us) location. Our main objective was to explore, sightsee and eat. I brought a few cameras — one film, two digital — and took a lot of pictures. Here is a selection of shots from our first full day in town, taken on a Leica MP-4 (with Ilford XP2 Super film) and a Leica M10-D.

Some real Charlie Brown energy here.

My family is from the Florida panhandle and I was there this summer, with my oldest, to attend our biannual family reunion. Before we left, we walked around the downtown area to kill some time and here are a few of the pictures I took. I used a Yashica-D medium format camera and Kodak Gold 200 (overdeveloped for two additional stops of light).
A few abandoned storefronts (and a real Edward Hopper vibe).
Another older storefront, which now houses a few offices.
A mural celebrating a few of the people that hail from the area.
I’m sharing these in the order of “shots I find most aesthetically pleasing” from top to bottom.

Some bees I saw this weekend.
It’s been six years since I moved back to Charlottesville and, in that time, I feel like I’ve photographed practically everything in town. If I’m going to continue taking pictures, I have to force myself to take a different approach. Sometimes, that means revisiting old subjects. I think I have photographed every scene here at least once before. But I keep making pictures, just to see if I can’t find something new.
I used a Yashica-D medium format camera for these pictures. The black and white photos were made with Ilford XP2 Super, and the color photos were made with Kodak Gold.

And for those of you who went to UVA, here are a few photos that should be familiar sights.

We went to New Orleans a few months ago for a family trip and, as usual, I took a lot of pictures. Also as usual, it took me forever to get them developed, scanned and curated. Here are the results. I used a Yashica-D medium format camera and either Kodak Gold or Ilford XP2 Super film. Let me know what you think.

I was in Des Moines, Iowa this past weekend for Senator Joni Ernst’s “Ride and Roast,” an annual event where supporters ride motorcycles and prominent Republican politicians come and speak for the crowd. This year, “the prominent Republican politicians” included virtually everyone running for the Republican presidential nomination. I went to observe, to speak to voters and to take a few pictures. I’m not sure I’ll write about the experience but here, at least, are the pictures.
For those of you who care, I used my Leica M10-D and a Panasonic GX8 mirrorless camera for these photos.
