Bill Smith's Photography

 This was supposed to be the fifth anniversary photo walk for the Classic Camera Revival but Covid had other ideas, five years later it became the 10th anniversary of the revolution.

It was great to connect with the CCR fans and geek out on photography. We started at the Great Lakes Brewery Tap Room on Lower Jarvis and ended at Eastbound Brewing in Riverside.
