    Toronto Adventure

    This past weekend I spent in Toronto for three reasons:
    1. Visit Connie (Suceeded, and had a great time!)
    2. Get a Motor Drive 1 for the X-7A (Also Suceeded )
    3. Take lots of photos (3 rolls)

    Here are the first first four.
    1. When I walked out of Union I saw this huge sky scraper dominatating the skyline, and well cool buildings and lines ect attract me, so I got the shot (Minolta MD 50mm, Illford XP2 ISO 400)

    2. Trampoline demostration at the Gooderham & Warts distillery district (Kiron 70mm-150m, Illford XP2 ISO 400)

    3. A small church off College Street, nestled in a wooded 'grove' (Minolta MD 50mm, Kodak Max ISO 400)

    4. Typical Toronto skyline, shot facing East on Bathurst Street just outside Fort York's east gate. (Minolta MD 50mm Koda Max ISO 400)

    More tomorrow. But one thing that was cool was how many strangers just stopped and we chatted, just because we noticed each other's cameras. Most people had modren SLRs or DSLRs (Lumex, D70, Rebel XT).

    Hmmmm

    Does anyone else think that trampolines and distilleries make a weird combination? ;)

    Re: Toronto Adventure

    Here are four more. The first two are of the Fort York guard Sunday morning. In the one where they're all at attention my friend Connie (whom I visited) is third from the right.

    The other two...the first one is a capture just before the guy hit the water at the party Connie and I went to Saturday night, and the other one is a tall ship in the Toronto Harbour I snapped out of the street car (I had to straighten it a bit in Photoshop).

    And yes, Trampolines at a distillery is strange, but the place has been converted into a very artsy place, studios, stores, photo galleries, ect. I would've felt really out of place if it wasn't for my camera.
