Toronto Weekend, Pt. 2

31 Jan

My last day at Toronto. We both went to this small camera fair located in Thornhill (Markham), Ontario.

Yes, well, I’m holding a T4 there, yes. And again yes this picture can now be in the local tourism booklet. He he.

The boy wasn’t joking when he said that it was a good 30-min walk from the bus stop all the way to the community centre where the fair is located. It wasn’t as cold as Winnipeg, but my body does not discriminate. Canada is cold, and that’s a fact wherever I go. Read the rest of this entry »

Toronto Weekend, Pt. 1

30 Jan

This is rather a late post for a travel-related entry but times have been tough. Anyway. I went to Toronto, ON last week to visit a special person and to attend a camera fair.

I find the place to be very busy. However despite of the amount of activities that breathes life to the city, it is devoid (IMO) of that certain feel that I am so used to seeing and living here in Winnipeg. I don’t know what that feel is, if you ask me. Maybe the friendliness of the people?

But that doesn’t mean I don’t like Toronto. I don’t have the right to pass any judgment right now since I didn’t stay there that long. Read the rest of this entry »

The night [ends] here

21 Jan

Taken using Olympus µ[mju:] Wide 80 with an expired Ferrania Solaris 400 film. You have to go to Flickr to appreciate the width provided by the panorama setting.

This is the usual scene that my eyes see every Monday-Wednesday last Fall of 2009 and every Wednesday-Thursday starting this winter.

It’s been hard going to work p/t in the morning and studying at night since I was so used to the reversed routine while I was completing my degree back in 2004. But nobody said it was easy, and careers don’t materialize overnight. My photography suffers because I can’t go out that much, but taking photos has been my lifeline since 2007, and I don’t want to stop now. It has help me see things differently through a viewfinder and it has helped me find love too.

But things will change. I only have three months left in school. For sure, things will be better.

Yashica-A TLR

19 Jan

I received this a couple of days before Christmas from my boyfriend.

I never owned a TLR before let alone a white one (it looks greyish IRL) so I was really excited when I received this.

I had to go around and search for instructions on how to use this. Kelvin sent this with a roll of film in it already (he did a test roll but didn’t finish it) so I had to use the rest of the remaining frames here in Winnipeg. I don’t have time though so I just shot around the neighborhood. Read the rest of this entry »
