Ella's Story: December hospital visit on B&W film.

Ella's mum Emily has recently started a blog chronicling Ella's life and constant health battles, from the intense and emotive first person perspective of a parent: http://www.ellasstory.com/

In the posts so far, she's described how everything started, not long after Ella was born as a seemingly normal baby. http://www.ellasstory.com/2012/01/25/in-the-beginning/

I finally got around to processing some black and white 35mm film photos I took during one of Ella's hospital stays in late December, when I made this post: http://carscameraschronicillness.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/ellas-story-hospital-visit-for-picc.html

The more natural look of the film gives the photos a different mood compared to the digital pictures in colour. And interesting in that I didn't see these photos for a couple of months after I took them. All shot with a Canon EOS 33 SLR + 50mm f/1.8 lens, on Kodak TMAX 400 black and white negative film.

The post above describes pretty well what was happening on the day, so I'll just post the photos in this one.

Random Car Spotting: Toyota JZX100 Chaser

I saw this very tidy looking Chaser back in February 2010. It was parked on the grass in the pit area at Mallala during a drift competition. Despite loads of crazily modified track cars everywhere, this JZX100 really caught my eye while walking past. Normally a brownish/bronze coloured car wouldn't be my cup of tea, but the metallic paint, combined with the tasty dished Work Meister rims, twin exhaust pipes and lowered ride height, makes for one hot looking Chaser.

Usually with random cars I like, there are one or two things that don't strike me as looking quite right, and this car is rare in that I would be happy to park it in my garage as it is. Photos taken with a little Canon Powershot A480 digital compact camera.

Personal Archive Mining: July 11th, 2009.

This post probably contains the weirdest variety of photos I've taken in one day, all with a Canon Powershot A470 compact digital camera.

Not quite up to the digital SLR standard quality wise, but great for quick macro shots like these, of some worms I found underneath the garage roller door that morning.

I then took a few photos of my old Civic (which my girlfriend Sally now owns) near Queenstown, as a location test for a very cool 454ci Holden LH Torana I had lined up to shoot for a feature in Extreme magazine. Mostly just checking the light, available space and reflections in the water, so photos are nothing special.
