Old Oakville and Bronte

Image
  I had to go out to Oakville to do two things, one pay my home and auto insurance and drop a watch off at my watchmaker in Bronte. I made a day of it, weird no longer being a resident and now a visitor. I even stopped by the family house, the new owners are doing some serious renovations and additions but they are quite tasteful and I approve. I'm not going to miss raking up leaves from seven maple trees one bit.  The decision to roll with one of my Olympus OM-1n's was a wise one, a small compact set up for a day trip.  Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko lenses.  Film: Kentmere 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.  x

Ossington Strip in Black and White

 Ossington Avenue is a street I don't photograph all that much, partly when I was living in Oakville it wasn't all that convenient to get to.  With the alleyway walk I brought along one of my Rollei 35's loaded with Kentmere 400, the student film of choice. The weather got miserable with off and on drizzle.  Camera: Rollei 35 (made in Germany) 40 F3.5 Zeiss Tessar Lens.  Film: Kentmere 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
