Another one from Nova Scotia. Our trip out east lasted two weeks. I brought one suitcase; and three camera bags. In addition my my digital rig, I brought a Mamiya C330, a Conley Jr. from 1913 and my Busch Pressman 4×5 view camera. Leah is a very supportive and patient partner. Loading film holders in the front seat of a moving vehicle in a changing bag in humid conditions can lead to some swearing.
This ship is a reproduction of the ship that originally brought the first Scottish settlers to Nova Scotia in 1773. It is part of a very cool museum in Pictou.
I took this with the view camera from right beside the van where we parked. At this point in the trip the camera bags were empty and the van was acting as a mobile studio, with most of my gear rolling around the back. It’s one of my favorite film shots yet.

I took this on our trip out to Nova Scotia last year, and kind of forgot I had it. It is at Peggy’s Cove, with the famous lighthouse behind me. The place was packed when we were there, and aside from another couple, these were the only two people really paying attention to the ocean. I didn’t think much of it at the time. The whole trip was like a buffet of great iconic images. I’m still going through them and finding things.
I came across this when I was selecting images for the main page slideshow and fell in love with it. It was really a beautiful day to see the place, and seeing this picture put me right back on that day. You may notice it is currently a default background on the site as well. It also is the current wallpaper on pretty much all my computers at work and home.
It also makes me think I should take another pass through my 20,000+ photos and see what else I missed.
