Not as bad as elsewhere in the province, but I think it's time to be inside with the windows closed.

A quick test of the ME Super shows that it's doing exactly what I want it to!

A Recent Personal Best It was the yogurt we like. That's what gave occasion to my longest walk since June. Sure, it wasn't long (2.5km), but it's progress. ☺️ If you would like to see more: lottiephoto.ca/2026/07/16/a... #BelieveInFilm

Vine-covered window of the long-vacant Iranian embassy. A narrow strip of landscaped yard protected by two high fences stands between the building and the sidewalk.

The view between two 1930s apartment buildings. A wooden fence with a gate blocks off the space between them.

Sidewalk view looking up toward street signs marking the corner of O'Connor and MacLaren streets.

Bicolour cat named Charlie vibing on an unmade bed. It's unmade because I spend much time there. Fortunately, it's much less time as each day passes.

After spending too much time in the Greater Chicagoland Area, the ME Super has arrived and it looks like it’s doing its job!

Charlotte's Proof of Life Three weeks might not seem like much, but it felt longer. Last Tuesday, I got myself for a very short walk around the neighbourhood with a camera. No magic, showing myself I could. If you would like to see more: lottiephoto.ca/2026/07/13/c... #BelieveInFilm

After my last Phoenix I rolls from a few weeks back, I reconsidered my one-ever Phoenix II roll from last September. With only one roll, I didn't really find the conditions that played to its strengths. AE-1 . FD 50/1.8 . Phoenix II (EI100) . Sep 9, 2025 #BelieveInFilm

Is that *two* days in a row? Sure is! Same as the others, there will be no magic here, but exposing film will keep body and soul together. Development of the earlier two rolls will happen this afternoon. ☺️🎞️🧪

Just like earlier this week, it's not about what's on it, it's that I did! I just got back from my longest walk in almost a month, so that's something. I'll also be developing tomorrow, so that's something else!

Super quick on-this-day. It has been quiet. Out around Tunney's Pasture / Hintonburg. Yashica 635 . 80/3.5 . Portra 160 . Lab Dev & Scan . Jul 9, 2022 #BelieveInFilm

Side of a chip bright yellow and blue chip stand with a red door. A sun-bleached sign that said “Mr. Hot Potato” had an “s” added to it, making it read “Mrs. Hot Potato”. I had only been out for a few months at that point, so it was very funny to me.

Late morning shadow at the rear of a garage building. The cinder block walls are painted a sort of brick red. The door, wooden and weathered, was once a coordinated blue.

With all of this healing time, I've had so much more time to read. It probably doesn't hurt that my favouritest local book store (Perfect) is a block away and with my current snail's pace 🐌 range.

Copies of four books on a bed. A/S/L, Persona, You x Me, and Plastic, Prism, Void.

…and she's back! Twenty-four minutes and twenty-four frames. Nothing of any real value committed to this film, but that wasn't the point. Now to spend more quality time with an ice pack… 🧊

Charles continues to be present. While we joke that he's here for healing support, it's probably more that he *loves* an unmade bed.

After almost three weeks, this girl got herself outside! No separate camera though: just picked up a book, prescriptions, and checked the mail. I'm still slow, it still hurts a little, but it was promising! A lovely day for it too! ☀️

Angled view of a two and a half storey brick residence that has been an Officers’ Mess for decades.

Some 110, on-this-day. The more important on-this-day is that it's Kathleen's birthday today! 🥳 Neither of us are big birthday girlies, so it's nice delivery tonight 🍜 Ektralite 10 . Fujicolor 200 (Exp. 2008/11) . Lab Dev . Jul 3, 2024 #BelieveInFilm

It's Martha's shift now, but she's a less-engaged employee.
