Bill Smith's Photography

Surfing Air BnB listings recently, dreaming, New York, it's been too long, two years already. I need a fix of your hustle, bustle and photographic inspiration. Well, ok a proper slice of pizza as well and a return visit to George Keeley  on the Upper West Side for a really nice pint of Brooklyn Brown Ale. This year is unlikely, maybe 2016 for the big return, hopefully with a much stronger Canadian dollar. Below are some shots I really haven't shared far and wide, all were taken on a rainy Monday south of Houston Street in SoHo mostly. When I do return, I want to explore more of Brooklyn and the East Village as well as revisiting the High Line, Central Park and the Upper East Side. Camera: Leica M4-2, Voightlander Color Skopar 35 f2.5 lens. Film: Ilford HP5, Xtol 1+1.

Camera: Rolleicord IV K3B Film: Kodak Tri-X 400 processed in HC110 B. I miss New York City and I plan to go back sometime in the fall next year.
