Barfageddon 2 - Analog Edition

Alright folks, we leave for Tibet next Saturday, so this should be the last time I pollute your feeds for the next few weeks. Commence your happy dance.

Just wanted to share some of the film and polaroid photos from Barfageddon 2. They get progressively blurrier, due in part to the light getting low, and then you know... GIN. One of my favourite conversations from the evening involved the game of 'The best things in life start with the letter X.' Scott started us off with B: Booze, boobs, butts, bacon, BJ's, Black Sabbath. And that was countered by Dean with F: Fighting, Farting, F*cking, and Filanthropy. (That last one made me laugh pretty hard).

Barfageddon 2

Last year for Gregg's stag, we didn't exactly get very far into our night of drinking before a parade of puking cut festivities short. It was such a good time that we felt a redux was necessary, and so I present you with photos from Barfageddon Two, where a surprising amount of crotch and nostril pictures ended up on my camera. While last year's festivities involved a disgraceful amount of vomit, the only shame that happened this year was when Tim was told he was too fat to ride a go kart at Speeders. So while we zipped around at top speed (click here for a go pro video of our second race), Tim went sorrow eating, before we then got trashed on gin, scotch, vodka, beer, and Jäger. Good times.

And if you decide to watch the video, be sure to check out Dean spinning out at the 5:06 mark.

Drumheller - August 2016

Nearly 25 years ago, my parents took us to Drumheller on a family vacation to see the dinosaur fossils at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Fast forward to the present, and I got to reverse roles and be the one to take them there this time. I've gone back to this museum four times in the past six years, and it never gets old. It evokes memories of my youth, and while wandering around snapping photos, I always get curious stares from people as they wonder why anyone would use such pre-historic era film cameras anymore.

I've posted a handful of digital vs. film vs. polaroid shots below. Digital shots (colour) taken with the Fuji X-T1. B&W film shots taken with the Hasselblad 500CM on Ilford HP5+. Polaroid shots with the SX-70 on Impossible Project colour film.
