Here’s a photo from February. Warmer days are just around the corner…riiight?

Canon AE-1 | Fujifilm Pro 800z
It’s been a while, but I finally got a roll of film developed. I decided to take my chances and push my 800 film by one stop, which, for those wondering, means it was developed at 1200 instead of 800. (Oh man, I hope I got that correct. I think that’s what it means.) The shadows are bit washed out, the grains are very noticeable, but I like the contrast. The highlights on these shots are way overblown, as expected, but I can live with that. I have better results in other interior shots. More to come!
Also, cool story: Leo sat back to back with Sook Yin Lee, that’s her on the bottom left corner.

Also, if you’re wondering, I got this film developed and scanned at Toronto Image Works.

What are you looking forward to this weekend? Leo is heading off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas on Saturday morning – *womp* *womp*. It won’t be too lonely of a week for me though. Baking sessions have been planned as well as a much needed scheduled brunch with new friends! I might even squeeze in some exercise. Who knows.
Have a happy Friday and stay warm!


Where does Joe Beef’s David McMillan go for French-Canadian food in Montréal? Where everyone goes to eat in Montréal.
That’s what it seemed like anyway.
L’Express is the quintessential (North American) French bistro. Unpretentious, busy, loud, maybe a bit tacky, but overall, not a bad place to go. The menu is huge, so there’ll be something for everyone, and they like to serve you giant jars of pickles to munch on. Best of all, the wine list starts at $6 a glass.
We had the scallop ceviche (special of the night), steak frites, quail on wild rice, and shared a crème caramel.
