Scarborough Wander Part One

Image
 My friend Art Liem, known him for years, first through the Analog Photography Users Group and more recently with the Toronto Film Shooters Facebook Group, long floated an idea of a photo walk in Scarborough starting at Kennedy Station and wandering west and exploring The Golden Mile District. It's a part of city I have not explored.  Now I packed my Canon New F-1 AE and leaned heavy on my L Series FDn 20-35 F3.5 Zoom and 50 F1.4 lens. Film wise, I reached into my fridge for some first generation Harmon Phoenix 200 packaged in the red box. The colours are far from accurate but that was the point. I wanted all over the place look for this walk.  Canon New F-1 AE, FDn 50 F1.4 lens, FDn 20-35 F3.5 Zoom lens.  Film: Harmon Phoenix 200 @100 ISO First version in the red box. 

The July Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walk Part Two, From Jones Ave to The Danforth.

 Toronto's east end has a lot of character and in some ways is more the "real" Toronto as it hasn't been quite has gentrified compared to the west end. Riding on the Line 2 Subway line, the trains run with older rolling stock compared to Line 1. The Danforth east of Greektown is slightly more gritty. We ended the photo walk at The Wren just west of Monarch Park and Danforth, I had a craving for their hamburger.  Overall, a great photo walk with a good attendence.  Camera: Nikon F3/T, Nikkor AIS Lenses.  Film: Kodak Pro Image 100, processed at Graination Lab.
