Honest Eds is my favourite store in Toronto, ok well maybe not my favourite, but I always love seeing it. Nick and Michelle told me that at Christmas and Thanksgiving, they sell turkeys for $1 so that people without as much financial means can have a turkey dinner too.
Another photo from June of 2005 when I was in Quebec city with Outnumbered, not too sure where we were going, but I took a photo of this on the way. I’ve always liked buildings that form a tunnel for a road, I’m not too sure why, they just always fascinate me. I can’t quite remember if it’s the other side of what you see here, or what was directly behind/above me, but there was somewhere that had apartments over this road.
Here’s another instance of me having a 6×6 back in the Holga, and winding the film for 4.5 x 6. This was from a business trip to New York sometime in 2006, we had some good food, a long drive, and I drank my bar fridge in the room empty. Heinekens for $7 each.. and work wasn’t footing the bill ouch. I really wish this roll had turned out without the overlapping, but what can you do. Click to see a larger version.
This stop sign should have been the first indication that walking from Michelle’s to Sunny’s through Highpark was not a good idea, it was warm enough out. Apparently High Park is a little bigger than your average park, and walking from one corner to the complete opposite is not a good idea. Oh well, I got to see some goats, llamas and peacocks.
This was the last photo from the Holga that I shot on the trip Nat and I took out east this past summer. I took this photo, while driving over the Confederation Bridge leaving PEI just a little too soon. I wish we had a little bit more time out there, and a little bit more money, but we still had a great time.
Neil and Charlie at the quarry quarter pipe last November, decided to throw up both frames at once since they were side by side on the roll. I’m out of film for my Holga, time to hit up e-bay for some more. I’m really looking forward to the summer and shooting more with my Bronica, should be a summer filled with digital fish, and long lens medium format.. can’t wait.
This is a church around the corner from my old apartment in Montreal. It’s on the corner of Rachel and St Urbain, and for some reason it’s always happy looking and decorated. Never been inside, but walked past it many times.
During our afternoon in the park, a man’s little girl was attracted by Toby’s soccer ball. She had a pretty good time chasing it, she didn’t speak much, except when her dad asked her who her favourite soccer player was and she’d squeak out a “Ronaldinho”, pretty cute.
I guess I attempted a long exposure with the holga, not exactly the best candidate for such a photo, but I think I did a pretty good job of holding the camera steady on the window sill while holding the shutter open. This was our view from our apartment on St Laurent, if Nat and I were religious, we could have prayed to jesus every day.
Toby and Crispin’s Sister (can’t remember her name) hanging out with us at Jeanne Mance park in Montreal last summer, milkshakes and soccer, good times.
