Bill Smith's Photography

 It was a great walk, a variation of a previous walk, the route starts at the Rooster Cafe and ended up at Factory Girl on the Danforth by way of Chinatown East along Gerrard Street to Carlaw. The camera of choice was one of the workhorses in my collection, the Nikon F2SB along with a collection of Pre Ai lenses. Film wise I ran with Kodak Vision 250D Motion picture stock which was ECN2 processed at Graination Lab here in Toronto.  The big draw for photowalks is community and this months event we brought along the Toronto Photowalks Community, so it was a big crowd, thankfully a simple route. What shocked me is the pace of change within Chinatown East some storefornts have still not been rented out since the Covid years and some long running businesses have folded either due to the lease being up, or the owners wanted to retire.  Camera: Nikon F2SB, Nikkor Pre Ai lenses.  Film: Kodak Vision 250D, ECN-2 processed by Graination Lab.  ...

  It was one of those, "not a cloud in the sky" summer scorchers, of course the Toronto Film Shooters held a photo walk, because, why not, we were stopping to sample Gelato (Gemma on Yonge St. is the place to go). We went down to the Belt Line Park to loop northwest to Eglinton.  Canon 7sZ, Canon and Voitlander Screw mount lenses.  Film: Reflx Labs spooled Eastman Kodak Vision 50 D, ECN-2 processed by Graination Lab.
