<h4>2026-02-10</h4>
<p>Winter is shadow season and it's the easiest time of year for night photography because it's night by the late afternoon. Here are some photos (mostly) from a walk home on the river</p>

<h1>Odds and Ends</h1>
<h4>2026-02-04</h4>
<p>Somehow, I have not one but two sets of lost photos to share with you. Last week I went to the Forks and while taking photos I realized there was a photo I remembered taking that wasn't among the photos in my last post. I had run out of space on my camera while taking photos, so I had wiped one of the SD cards to start taking more but never imported those photos from when the cards were out of sync. As it turns out, the photo I vividly remembered taking wasn't very good. I'm thankful to have recovered a few of the others though. When looking for those photos, I found an even older set of untagged photos I had forgotten about. Last month I went to see a movie that had some great shots of (fake) snow at night so I decided to take some night photos afterwards. Fewer of them turned out than I would have liked but I'm just thankful to have rediscovered any of them</p>

<h1>Playing Favourites</h1>
<h4>2025-12-31</h4>
<p>I took some good photos this year, so I'm going to take a little victory lap by reposting some of my favourites</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/201023.jpg" alt="a plant etching an arc in the snow">

<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/202355.jpg" alt="a too-close shot of light through a sweater">
<p>I will be the first to admit that I didn't really want to go out and take photos today. It's cold! But I had already steeled myself to it when I was putting on my sweater to go outside and I got distracted by how cool it looked to see through its loose holes. After a bunch of experimentation, the best way to replicate it with a camera was to hang the sweater from my curtain rod (both to free up my hands to use the camera, and to get sufficient backlighting). It's a different look than what I saw with the sweater on my head but that's fine. it's interesting in its own way</p>

<p>Truly, my only real complaint about this bizarre hotel is that the angle of the hallway outside the full bathroom was angled such that the full-size mirror on the wall couldn't reflect the 90º mirrors within the bathroom. Foreseeing this complaint, the staff at the Westin Bonaventure positioned the makeup mirror on a telescoping arm so you could at least take a picture of yourself taking a picture of yourself taking a picture of yourself</p>

<h4>2025-11-06</h4>
<p>I've been out the last few nights taking photos and it's been good for me. I'm getting to see stuff I might otherwise miss and am having to learn to live with messier shots and to make shots messy on purpose.</p>

<h1>Winnipeg/Portland/San Francisco/Los Angeles(/Culver City)/Winnipeg</h1>
<h4>2025-05-24</h4>
<p>Earlier this month, I went on a train trip with some friends. We met up in Portland, and then took the train down to LA, stopping in SF along the way. There are also a few photos I took while walking to meet another friend the day before my trip and some photos I took while still sorting through trip photos</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/204250.jpg" alt="a nuthatch in a tree">

<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/204328.jpg" alt="the grating of a bridge casting a shadow on the beams underneath">
<p>This photo tricked me when I was reviewing it even though I specifically remembered taking it. I knew it was the shadows of a grating on the beams of a bridge and not the gratings themselves but it still reads as a grating to me. But because shadows defuse and there's a noticeable texture on the steel beams, the photo reads (to me at least) as a grainy photo. So it came doubly as a surprise when there was a crisp watermark right in the middle of the photo. The 'Carnegie' mark on the steel (also visible top right) looks like it's on sky not solid. Maybe it's just me</p>

<p>Okay, let me explain. When in LA, me and my friends specifically decided to stay at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel because Fredric Jameson found it to be a sort of unnavigable post-modern maze. How did we find it? Well, the architecture is kind of incredible (there would be more photos if a security guard hadn't told me I could only take photos with a phone) and it is clear they've made it some changes to make it a little easier to navigate, but it is at its heart a bizarre space. There are long sight lines but never directly across the building and most of what you see are balconies you'd have to indirectly reach with a walkway—at almost no point is it possible to make from A to B without first stopping by at C. When traveling to the rooms themselves (which is further warped by glass elevators that switch from inside to outside the building), the four identical towers (distinguished now by a colour and shape that appears regularly but never prominently. We were in green square, which you might have been able to gleam from the green numbers and the green light on the elevator but you probably won't have noticed until you go back because the overwhelming sensation of the Bonaventure is concrete and glass circles) continue the theme by hiding rooms around a concrete pillar. You can't see from A to B but there are always at least two ways to reach it. And with that, you enter the room itself. The room too is filled with odd angles (though as much with sharp corners as gentle curves. The cutout partially visible in the roof here is nature's favourite shape, the heptagon). All of this is to say, what were we greeted with when we got to our room? Two rooms with matching TVs, stands, and perched remotes such as to strongly imply a floor-to-ceiling mirror instead of a passageway. Don't worry, I did make my friends do the Duck Soup mirror thing</p>

<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/204865.jpg" alt="a selfie in a mirror as viewed from that same mirror">
<p>Truly, my only real complaint about this bizarre hotel is that the angle of the hallway outside the full bathroom was angled such that the full-size mirror on the wall couldn't reflect the 90º mirrors within the bathroom. Foreseeing this complaint, the staff at the Westin Bonaventure positioned the makeup mirror on a telescoping arm so you could at least take a picture of yourself taking a picture of yourself taking a picture of yourself</p>

<h4>2025-02-28</h4>
<p>It's the end of the month and the end of taking photos every day. It's also the end of the season. On Sunday, it warmed up above freezing and I realized it was my last chance to get on the river and see the rest of the trail. I was able to get on the river at BDI and walk the 4 miles up to the Forks on it. A lot of that wasn't a proper path so it wasn't exactly nice to walk on (or easy to photograph) but I had a great time of it. So long to the river trail... until today when I got on it one more time walking home. The skating trail is still going strong but the walking trail has seen better days—the snow turned to slush, turned to ice. So with that, it really is goodbye</p>

</html>It's the end of the month and the end of taking photos every day. It's also the end of the season. On Sunday, it warmed up above freezing and I realized it was my last chance to get on the river and see the rest of the trail. I was able to get on the river at BDI and walk the 4 miles up to the Forks on it. A lot of that wasn't a proper path so it wasn't exactly nice to walk on (or easy to photograph) but I had a great time of it. So long to the river trail... until today when I got on it one more time walking home. The skating trail is still going strong but the walking trail has seen better days—the snow turned to slush, turned to ice. So with that, it really is goodbyehttps://bcj.pics/photos/1740182997.htmlCabin Fever2025-02-21T18:09:57Z2025-02-21T18:09:57Z<!DOCTYPE html>

<h1>Cabin Fever</h1>
<h4>2025-02-21</h4>
<p>It was cold out. I found excuses to not go outside. I went outside</p>

<p>I will be the first to admit that I didn't really want to go out and take photos today. It's cold! But I had already steeled myself to it when I was putting on my sweater to go outside and I got distracted by how cool it looked to see through its loose holes. After a bunch of experimentation, the best way to replicate it with a camera was to hang the sweater from my curtain rod (both to free up my hands to use the camera, and to get sufficient backlighting). It's a different look than what I saw with the sweater on my head but that's fine. it's interesting in its own way</p>

<h1>Extremes</h1>
<h4>2025-02-15</h4>
<p>If I'm going to go out and take photos every day this month, I might as well change things up a bit. Day-to-day I tend to shoot with a telephoto lens—it's a fast lens so I can shoot quickly/with low light and it makes it means all the shots in my neighbourhood aren't just houses. My friend li had sent me some good photos they had taken on a point-and-shoot, so I decided to bring my smallest lens with me on Friday. It's a tiny plastic lens the size of a phone lens (I guess probably smaller than some modern phone lenses). I wouldn't want to shoot with it exclusively, but I think it takes some moody looking shots. I decided to follow that up by going for a walk on the river today with it and my largest lens—an even larger telephoto lens that I'm not entirely comfortable walking around with. I thought it was a pretty nice day for a walk, but it maybe was a bit colder than I thought because my camera stopped working after a while and I had to take a break at a coffee shop. I would have liked to have swapped between lenses a bit more often but it wasn't really the weather for it. Credit where credit is due, There was at least one occasion where the only way I could get the shot I wanted was from swapping in the tiny lens. Hope you enjoy</p>

<h1>Prelude</h1>
<h4>2025-02-10</h4>
<p>As I was walking to a coffee shop this afternoon, I thought to myself that it seemed like the perfect weather for photography—not too cold, not too windy, and with a tiny bit of snow in the air to add texture to everything I shot. I got to the cafe and as I sat down my phone alerted me that a multi-day extreme cold warning was in effect. Oh well. That feels like it might be an inflection point for photos, so here's some stuff I've shot over the last week or so.</p>

</html>As I was walking to a coffee shop this afternoon, I thought to myself that it seemed like the perfect weather for photography—not too cold, not too windy, and with a tiny bit of snow in the air to add texture to everything I shot. I got to the cafe and as I sat down my phone alerted me that a multi-day extreme cold warning was in effect. Oh well. That feels like it might be an inflection point for photos, so here's some stuff I've shot over the last week or so.https://bcj.pics/photos/1738634330.htmlThree Suns2025-02-03T19:58:50Z2025-02-03T19:58:50Z<!DOCTYPE html>

</html>I was in Halifax this weekend for a wedding.

<h1>The Hawk (Gore)</h1>
<h4>2024-10-10</h4>
<p>I was walking up my front steps when I noticed a mass of black feathers floating down like leaves from a tree. As it turns out, there was a hawk in a tree in my front yard enjoying their lunch. Needless to say I grabbed my camera and headed back out. I would not call any of these photos especially gory but if you don't want to see a partially dismembered bird, maybe skip this photo set. This first photo, a salsify flower growing in my front yard, is the only photo that isn't the hawk</p>

<h4>2024-05-24</h4>
<p>Wow, a secret third vacation photo set. On Sunday night I discovered that it was May long, so I spent the day wandering the city and taking photos. Then I took a little while to sort through these so enjoy some bonus post-vacation photos too. Some heads up on these photos: there is a pair of photos of a giant water bug and let me tell you, that name is apt. Immediately after you'll get to see a gaggle of goslings so just push through if you don't want to see big ol' bug. Also, I saw some Cliff Swallows and I'm including photos because they're cool even if the quality of the photos is... subpar. Enjoy</p>

<h1>Back Yard/Rainy Days</h1>
<h4>2024-04-26</h4>
<p>It's been warm out, so I've been working from my deck in the afternoon and enjoying the many visitors. Except today, when it's been rainy, and I've been enjoying working from a coffee shop instead. Since the last photo series, I've actually set up one of my camera's custom modes as monochrome so I can take black & white photos more easily. A rainy day seemed like the perfect opportunity to try it out</p>

<h1>Abstract Photo Week</h1>
<h4>2024-03-08</h4>
<p>I decided on a whim to make this week 'abstract photo week'. For the purpose of this week, an abstract photo was one where the subject of the photo was either not the emphasis of the photo or was being actively obscured. Not a strenuous definition but I also defined 'week' as Monday to Friday so you probably shouldn't worry about it</p>

<h4>2023-10-10</h4>
<p>Things are changing. The leaves are falling. We're starting to hit freezing overnight. I met up with some friends for brunch in an area of town I don't get to much anymore, so I decided to visit some parks I haven't been in a while (and one I still see regularly). I wasn't really planning on making a day of things but I'm glad I used my last free day before the snow so well</p>

<h1>The Device</h1>
<h4>2023-08-08</h4>
<p>Yesterday, while cleaning, I made an <em>important</em> discovery. I found a <em>device</em>. The device is the MULTIIMAGE x 5 filter by Cokin and associated filter mount. I had seen it in the old camera bag before, but had wrongly assumed it was a flash attachment, not a lens filter. The only lens I have that it fits is the 50mm lens on my family's old film camera but, luckily, I have an adaptor to connect that lens to my digital camera. Here are my initial attempts at shooting with a kaleidoscope filter</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/176800.jpg" alt="a black and silver metal camera on a tiny tripod. On the front of the lens is a black piece of plastic with ridged slots on either side of the lens">
<p>The filter holder, on the film camera (NB the two legs on the bottom aren't part of the filter holder. It's just a tiny tripod I'm using to shoot the camera at a better angle)</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/176801.jpg" alt="a black and silver metal camera on a tiny tripod. On the front of the lens is a black piece of plastic with ridged slots on either side. a thick, angular piece of plastic with a hole in the center is slotted in">

<p>I was doing some cleaning today and I discovered a 'device'. In amongst some filters and attachments for my family's old film camera I found a thing that mounts on a lens and lets you slide different filters in. One of the filters was slightly yellowy and without obvious effect but the other was a kaleidoscope. It's real hard to shoot with but it's fun</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/176753.jpg" alt="multicoloured lilies">
<p>the effect is strongest with the aperture fully open</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/176755.jpg" alt="multicoloured lilies">
<p>with the aperture very slightly more closed</p>
<img src="https://bcj.pics/images/176757.jpg" alt="multicoloured lilies">
<p>another step or two closer to closed</p>
