This image was taken with a Rolleiflex TLR, my first medium format camera, bought from a pawn shop in Toronto when I was student. The roll of film had been put aside to be developed at a later date but was forgotten in a cupboard until years later. I recently found the lost film and developed it not having expectations of any images turning out. Much to my surprise this was one of the images on the roll.
I’m a freelance art director with a passion for photography. It began with the treasured family pictures my parents brought from Italy when we immigrated to Canada These snapshots of family and places from the past triggered strong emotions which no doubt had a great influence on me as a photographer. I enjoy working in both digital and analog formats. While digital photography offers limitless creative possibilities, there’s something about the tactile process of analog that transports me back to the excitement of developing my first photo in the high school darkroom.
