A Sunny Saturday in New Edinburgh (Part 2) Continuing on with last Saturday's adventure, after stopping in for a nice beverage, we continued our walk, taking in part of a neighbourhood art show and, of course, stopping in at Books on Beechwood. 📚 #BelieveInFilm

Right?? Kathleen saw the release of the collection and before I could take a look, she had gone ahead and ordered it! ☺️

Oh very much same! There are so many delicious green/purple multichromes out there and I usually feel spoiled for choice! ☺️

Well then, happy Friday to us! An entire collection that seems designed for our specific taste in polish.

Six bottles of nail polish in various shades anchored to purple laying on a sheet of film strips.

Update: While the labels are obscured, it should be 300W. (It had options for 300W, 460W, and 850W, but I'm confident it's the 300.)

Sounds good! I’m at the office so I can’t verify right now, but I can once I get home.

If nobody has something better, I have one in a Dell Precision tower I’m not using that you’d be free to have should you want and should it be compatible. I don’t remember the W but it’s just an off-contract machine from 2019.

It’s fun how that works! My mom’s the odd one out in her otherwise stalky German (well, Schwarzmeerdeutsche) family. I have a younger sister who looks a heck of a lot like my Dad’s side (stalky Polish labourers).

I knew it was going to happen but the *extent* to which it *has* happened, has been something. It wasn’t enough to have much of her personality, anxieties, and hangups I guess.

(I still *love* that the edge markings of bulk-roll FP4+ says "safety film" on it. Makes me feel a little archival.)

A lil' pushy-boo after a long day at work (that promises only another tomorrow) isn't a bad way to raise the anchor on today. (FP4+ +1⅔/EI400 DD-X 13m40s 23.4°C)

Two strips of black and white negative film drying in a bedroom window that needs cleaning. Perhaps in the Spring.

She's older and in her ways and (fortunately) she's not aggressive with it or anything, but it comes out sometimes. It's a little funny for me since her late aunt, who she was *very* close with, was an out and proud lesbian. I tend to get my little jabs in when she goes there anyway ☺️

Something from the Polish section of my film fridge. The NB01/NB04 was introduced as an alternative for the well established Fotopan and from what I've read it was considered poor quality even back then. But for 40+ years past date (1983) this is not bad at all. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

My Mom has begun slipping that one into our conversations lately. It seems that my being a lesbian is experiencing womanhood on less-advanced settings, so to speak. Apparently, down the road, I will see how great men can be. (...over 10 years with my wife now...)

Final submission for the #shittycamerachallenge: a family portrait of the cameras I've mastered as a result of my participation, taken by my trusty Lytro. I had no idea this seemingly goofy challenge was going to unearth a deep love of photography in me ☺️ More here: hypothete.github.io/lytro-lumi/

I don't talk about it online much really, but this is the policy space I've been working in for the last 15 years. The specific tasks may change (earlier was righting past wrongs, and now righting present ones), but it's hard to conceive of myself not working toward better.

Charlotte ♥ @lottiejoy.ca · 30/09/2026

We will be going to Beechwood for today's observance. 🧡 Of course, I will still be bringing a camera with me. With heavy overcast and a contemplative mood on cemetery grounds, we're going with FP4+ to be pushed 1⅔, to 400.

Finish yours first and then you can have another helping! (Thomas McKay, the Rideau Canal's builder was ambitious, but New Edinburgh only lasted 21 years as its own thing, being absorbed by Ottawa in 1887. Still has a bit of its own personality all the same!)

A Sunny Saturday in New Edinburgh (Part 1) Since we're now well in to September, our personal compasses flip around a little and we become increasingly drawn eastward. For this past Saturday, this meant a lovely little walk through New Edinburgh. #BelieveInFilm

(That is to say: not really bad, but also not the Xanadu some seemed to say. On the other hand, I later found Montréal to have a sort of bold/forward chaser energy that some might appreciate (?), so that could have been it.)

Will always remind me of the morning after a friend’s wedding in Montréal, when we were at a McDo’s eating breakfast and it was on the radio. We had a great time, if just an overnight. Though I did learn that the city isn’t really any better than here on my 🏳️‍⚧️ experience.

Since I’m feeling a bit the goblin these days, it was just nice. Even if its possible that I should have been more wary.

I was equal parts flustered, flattered, and “can’t you tell I’m Kathleen’s girl??”, but it did make my day when a (nice, non-threatening) person behind me on the bus tapped my shoulder and showed me a note on their phone that they found me “very very pretty”.

I base this on the Cosmo T-Girl Transplants issue - both for the bit *and* the experience of reading a magazine-shaped thing itself. All it would need is about 600 subscription cards - many scented from adjacent pages - to fall out when you sit down with it!

One hang up I have about queer Canadian history is how the 1969 partial decriminalization is discussed. It is often discussed how 1969 didn't really decriminalize homosexuality but my issue is how the bravery of Everett George Klippert is so often erased from the story.

Thanks for the tip! I'm using a regular Paterson tank with its reels. Normally, I haven't had any trouble loading two 120 rolls onto a reel, but the aggressive curl made it a challenge. With dinner on the stove, I gave it two tries before deciding to leave the second roll to Wednesday ☺️
