Sharp Edges

B&W Film, Photographs — Jordan on June 16, 2007

More innovative, modern architecture — this time from the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. This picture is off the second roll from my new (to me!) Rolleiflex 3.5E twin-lens reflex camera (circa 1956), which I recently bought at the PHSC camera fair in Woodbridge. I was on the lookout for a medium-format SLR, but the Rolleiflex wandered home with me instead! Mine has the Schneider Xenotar f/3.5 lens and it takes very, very nice pictures.

Last week, my wife and I paid a visit to the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, Daniel Libeskind’s unusual and very controversial addition to the stately 1912-era Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) building. It’s extraordinarily photogenic inside, and I have a lot of images to scan. More to come later.

Taken with the Nikon FG and 24mm lens on Kodak Tri-X, developed in Thornton’s two-bath developer.
