A few images from a night photo walk in the historic Exchange District, in Winnipeg, Canada.
Trying to tap into a Saul Leiter way of using a camera - seeing simply, not thinking.

One list I’d like to see catch on is ‘cameras I had but sold and really regret it now’.

I saw the sunbeam in the corner of the temple. Slowly it went toward the woman in front of the row - would it arrive in time before the people finishing chanting a sutra?

I could only wait. Nothing else to be done.

A roll of Ektachrome slide film discovered in this new-to-me Fujica 35SE camera!
I think any photographer has to be curious and I appreciate the serendipity & wonder at this fun surprise. Can’t wait to see what’s on this long-forgotten roll of film

ICYMI — what could be better than looking at a stranger’s holiday photos?
Glad you agree. My website’s blog has a happy coincidence of my vacation with my long-running personal project on faith & rituals: www.colincorneau.com/blog/2025/1/...

We see this process being attempted to be renewed now, including denial by some of the Nazi salute made by the world’s richest person - a man who apparently has enough idle time to give speeches to far-right Germans saying the past is no big deal.

Never again
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

I love the randomness of the details on this story. It reminds me that probably most of everyday routine and drudgery is just beside wonder and discovery.

PRESSMEN — Printing press operators at a former newspaper job I held, once upon a time.
One day notice came that the presses they so expertly ran would be shuttered. I spent a few months photographing them before it all ended.
Like many ppl I took all the interesting things around me for granted.

A tiny half-frame Fujica camera on a recent trip was a great travel 📷 but also an ideal notepad for each passing day. A fun surprise!

This feels right for Bluesky so let’s go with it:
Once in a while I make a photo that seems to leave more wondered about than told. Open ended.
For any writers or poets, please feel free to use this image as a starting point for your words. And share!

The zeitgeist is, fair to say, pretty bleak lately. Mean-spiritedness and vandalizing a sense of decency seems to permeate discourse and looks to do so for a while.
But this is still a matter of personal choice, peer pressure aside. I’ve a long way to go & fail often on that. But still try. 1/2

Fireworks at street festival for the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe; Sayulita, Mexico.
Although just a tourist (and a pasty Canadian one, at that) I made an effort to look more at local people and their experience than the tourist attractions.
Also: Feliz Año Neuva!

Christmas Eve in Sayulita, Nayarit state, western Mexico.
Yes the beaches are fantastic. Tourist town, lots of parties. But 100% I found the people living there and the depth of history, culture & art behind them far more interesting & fun.
