I enjoyed the Open Streets Toronto festival last Sunday; nice to walk in the middle of the streets. All images taken with Nikon F, F3 and F4 cameras, on either Fomapan 100 or ORWO UN54 film.

4×5 at the Rail Bridge
Last weekend I got together with friends Sean and Ori for some large format shooting at the unused rail bridge in the lower Don Valley in Toronto. I was shooting my Speed Graphic 4×5, with a 127mm/4.7 Kodak Ektar lens, using Fomapan 100 film.
Here’s a image of my friend Sean, setting up an shot with his 4×5 view camera, taken with my Olympus XA 35mm.
And finally a shot of me! (Image taken by Sean Patenaude with his Nikon, used with permission)
Another Photographer Friend
Today another portrait of a film photography friend 🙂 It was a lovely day at High Park yesterday when Chrissie Wu and I met up for a photoshoot. I was once again using my 4×5 Speed Graphic and vintage Petzval lens, but the film was Fomapan 100, which I have never shot in 4×5 before. Developed in Xtol 1+1 for 7.5 minutes @ 20 C, I am quite happy with the tonality of the result.
Last Post, 2013
For my last post this year, one more image from my “mystery roll” that had images from the VOX conference in Hamilton. For this image I used my Voigtlander 21mm/4, a lens that mounts on any camera that uses the classic Leica screwmount (in my case I used my early 1960’s vintage Canon 7 rangefinder). I love the sharpness of this lens, and I need to use it more!

After the Storm
It was grey, dismal and rather soggy in High Park yesterday. All the jewel-like ice on the tree branches left by the ice storm in Toronto was all more or less melted. Everywhere you looked broken branches and other debris were scattered as reminders of the recent weather, and the fact that by some estimates Toronto has lost 20% of its canopy.

Surprise
I have many “mystery” rolls of film, where I have no clue what is on the roll. I was finishing just such a roll today in High Park. When I developed it, I found some images from the VOX social media conference in Hamilton this past summer. I like this image as there is only one person in front of the camera, but a whole collection of friends (and me) represented by long late day shadows.
