Half-frame Grandchild
This is a single half-frame from my Olympus Pen.
The light was quite low. I normally shoot this camera with the sunny 16 rule, but estimating light indoors is beyond my abilities.
A light meter app on my phone indicated it was 2 stops lower than I could get with this camera/film combination.
I figured the film would give me some latitude, and as it turned out the light on her face was a bit brighter than the surroundings.
Most of this roll was shown at 52 Rolls at this location.
On the Kwuna III
Another view of the ferry Kwuna on crossing Skidegate Channel in April.
On my most recent trip I did not take the Kwuna; I flew in to Masset instead of Sandspit and thus the ferry was not necessary.
Thirty
Today I have been married for thirty years.
Which is a long time, though it does not seem that way.
When we were newly married, my wife declared the whole point of having children was in order to have grandchildren.
So, to mark another decade of marriage, here she is with our granddaughter.
They are examining a doll’s house that the little one discovered in a corner of her new garden.
As it happens the house is just the right size for the Hittys who somehow have come to occupy a part of all our lives.
Hittys, I will have you know, were not mentioned when we first married.
And yet there are now more of them in this household than all the generations of living humans in our family.
Half-frame Possibilities
Half-frame photos from the same roll of film featured in today’s other post, most of these without colour treatment. Trying to show some of the creative ways to use a half-frame camera, in this case an original Olympus Pen.
This photo is the storm drain, a favourite of Melinda Green Harvey’s. I suspect the reason she comes to visit Victoria is not so much to see me as to see the storm drain. She loves rectangles too. So, this shot is for her – the storm drain rendered as rectangles.
I have been out of town for a couple of weeks, off to work in the utter wilderness of the west coast of Gwaii Haanas. I did shoot a bit of film on that trip, but it is still waiting scanning, and I have other films shot earlier that really should show up here first, if one cares about order. So for Week 26 I am showing some of the half-frame photos I took with my original Olympus Pen, shot on Neopan Acros 100 a few weeks ago. You can find out more about my camera here – it has no light meter (these were shot with the Sunny 16 rule), zone focusing, only two working shutter speeds (of the four) and a terrific D. Zuiko 28mm f 3.5 lens. It is the camera that got me back to shooting film – I found it in a thrift store…

Half-frame Waterfront
Today’s post has variations on a half-frame diptych shot with my Olympus Pen along the Dallas Road waterfront. The camera is flipped between the shots. I have previously shot this kind of sky in the same way, so some of you that have been around for a while will find these images familiar.
Right Turn Not Indicated
T
Right turn not signalled.
In Canada, anyway, a left turn is indicated in the next election.
But it’s a long road till then, so who knows?

Bus Triplet
The school bus/residence continues, without the ghostly child.
I’m back in town, but still re-entering from being in some serious wildnerness for the past couple of weeks.
It is always an adjustment back to daily urban living after being completely off the grid in the most remote areas.
Thanks for all the likes and comments while I was out of town.
It is gratifying to have the blog live on while I am completely unreachable.
