On The Road Again
This is my 29th roll of film posted at the 52 rolls project. Check out the original post for more than just the one photo that shows when reblogging!
Sandspit Airport, Haida Gwaii
This is my roll 29 shot on an Olympus mjuII with expired Fuji Superia X-TRA 400. This roll lingered in the camera for a while, so it overlaps with some of the others I have already posted – it is impossible to keep a sequence when using more than one camera! Some of the shots from this roll, not shown here, have appeared on my blog here, here and here if you are interested.
This camera does do a good job, even if it still feels too automatic. As for shooting out a plane window – forget it. Still, I think this camera is going in the field with me again, it is small and thus more likely to travel in a pocket or pack.

Well Hanged
Another instance where something caught my eye and I had to reach for the phone in the absence of another camera.
I have bought a lot of point and shoot film cameras in this store.

Warned Aboard
From two different ferries that I have ridden in the past month or two.
Above is on the Mayne Queen which serves some of the Gulf Islands between Victoria and Vancouver.
Below is from the Kwuna that connects Moresby and Graham Islands in Haida Gwaii.
I get the impression there is more anxiety about the more northern crossing.
Or maybe all the same signs are on the Mayne Queen, less efficiently grouped.
Muted
A muted version of corrugated metal, at least compared to yesterday’s Vivid post.
Taken at the dock in Queen Charlotte, Haida Gwaii a few weeks ago.
Another cell phone photo.

Vivid
I had never before seen this wall without a car parked in front of it.
When it finally happened the light was perfect, but I only had my phone camera to work with.

Natural Lighting
Lighting does not always require that the electricity to be turned on.
A couple of days ago the morning light was doing the job more naturally.
This is the Royal Theatre, one of the old and main performance halls in downtown Victoria.

Makituk Pingwartuk – Man
At nearly 2 feet, this man is the largest of Inuit artist Makituk Pingwartuk’s ceramic sculptures that are in my wife’s family collection. The man appears to be singing and this suggests a story of some kind that probably we will never know.
It is similar, though much larger, to an unglazed sculpture (possibly a woman?) found in the Inuit Art Work Database – this link takes you to a Quicktime 3D image of that work which you can rotate with your mouse but you will need the plugin enabled in your browser.
This piece is not be signed, that I can discover.
- Height (head to toe) – 21” (~53 cm)
- Width (shoulder to shoulder) – 71/2” (~19 cm)
- Thickness (front to back) – 6” (~15 cm)
This is the last in a series that details the collection made while my wife’s family lived in Nelson and were friends with Makituk who was attending the Kootenay School of Art. More information about Makituk and this collection can be found in my initial post in this series, at this link. I hope you have enjoyed seeing these pieces and learning about Makituk and her role in the development of Inuit ceramic art.
