Bill Smith's Photography

I cannot stand driving up the 400/11 and if I can avoid it, I will. That's a good thing because 35 is way more photogenic though, that still means I have to cross Toronto on the 401 before going north. The journey really begins when I leave Cannington and Durham region for the Kawarthas and point my car north on Highway 35. Fuji Neopan Acros 100, while I shot that film in medium format, I haven't touched it in years in 35mm, I forgot how creamy this film was. What a shame Fujifilm killed this film off but, I think Rollei RPX 100 will be a decent substitute for most situations where you want a medium speed black and white. Camera: Olympus OM-2n, Zuiko MC 50 f1.8 lens. Film, colour: Kodak Portra 160. Black and White: Fuji Neopan Acros 100, Xtol 1+1.

Alas all good things come to an end. Driving down 35 back to reality, I see the Miner's Bay Resort, as  almost a halfway point for me between Oakville and Billie Bear. I would love to stay here someday, it reminds me a lot of the Sundial Inn in Kennebunkport Maine 40 years ago where my family stayed for our annual beach vacation. One day I'm going to stop and stay at Miner's Bay. Camera: Olympus OM2n, Zuiko Lenses. Film: Kodak Ektar 100
