Mercury pickup truck, Victoria, B.C.
(Camera: Olympus OM-2n; Lens: Zuiko 50mm f/1.8; Film: Ilford XP2 Super chromogenic)

Love the logo. This could be an early (1949 or 1950) M-type Mercury truck, possibly a model unique to Canada. But like I said, I’m no car expert. Anyone able to positively identify this beast?

Favourite Cameras: Argus a-four

Posted on August 27, 2014 by Gary

This is my first Argus camera. Why? Because if there’s one thing that characterizes most Argus cameras I’ve seen, it’s this: they’re ugly. Really ugly. Mind you, if the box-with-stuck-on-dials-and-knobs aesthetic appeals to you, then you’ve found your camera maker. Which is why the a-four is such a novelty. It’s actually a very stylish camera.

Pontiac hood ornament, Victoria, BC.
(Camera: Pentax ME Super; Lens: 50mm Pentax f/1.8; Film: Kodak T-Max 100)

I don’t know much about cars. Heck, who am I kidding? I don’t know anything about them. But I do know what I think looks cool — and few things look as cool as old hood ornaments. As near as I can tell, this one adorns a 1954 Pontiac. Anyone know for sure?

Goodbye Iceland . . . For Now

Posted on August 4, 2014 by Gary

Near Arnarstapi, Western Iceland.
(Camera: Fujifilm GA645 Professional; Film: Kodak Portra 400)

I’ve put up quite a few photos from Iceland over the past few months and feel it’s time to move on.  For now, that is.  I’ll be returning next spring, and I may from time to time post more shots from past trips.  I hope you’ve enjoyed my views of this fascinating and fantastic place.
