In mid-October, 2004, my friend Kevin Raber and I were on a two-day shoot together in and near Algonquin Park in North-Central Ontario, Canada. It had been a most lovely Fall, with warm days and lingering fall colour. Kevin was shooting with a Mamiya 645 and Phase One P25, 22 Megapixel back, and I was shooting with my Contax 645 and 16 Megapixel Kodak DCS Pro Back. Camera gear aside (not to mention P25 envy on my part), we had a very enjoyable time shooting, and each came away with a surprising number of strong photographs. Kevin, for the record, is the U.S. Vice President of Sales for Phase One, and incidentally, quite a fine photographer in his own right.
It was late afternoon, and the low Autumn sun was only 90 minutes from setting. We were hurrying, trying to get to the Park in time for sunset, But as we passed a small tree-shaded lake. the low sun filtered through some dense maples, and the intensity and beauty of the light caused me to do a quick u-turn and see if there was any potential there.
Bunny Hollo
There, turned out to be a rise overlookingBunny Hollo, a 1950’s looking group of cabins beside the lake. There was no sign of the missingWthat belongs at the end of the camp’s name.
The grounds were closed for the season, and the place had a melacholy and deserted air about it. But, combined with the low warm light, and brilliant fall foliage, it turned out to be a wonderland for the type of shooting that we both enjoyed doing. This small portfolio contains some of the images that we both made during a very enjoyable 40 minutes spent expoloringBunny Hollo.
