Instant Film 2

So I am way behind on my scanning, amongst other things. But thats life for you.

Our camp site, yes this is ALL the way back from camping in the summer. So Canadian ehh?? Flag and Steamwhistle beer.

When me and Yuri went to the native painting on cliff face.

Yuri and fire.

Horrible picture but that was our last coffee together. Wawa Ontario. Oh and that douche on the right almost hit me.

My old apartment on the left, Yevgen’s apartment on the right. Waiting for Yev, so we can go either play tennis or grab a coffee.

Bored

Multiple exposure. Again bored.

Failed on the image but decided to type over it. So deep and artsy ehh.

Lamp. Ya thats all I got for this one.

Screwed one up again so type that over it. Words are mine.

 

See you all around I’ll get around to posting newer stuff and try to be more frequent with the post. School has been eating away at my time.

Peace out from the getting colder by the minute Toronto.

All Vicky

Well me and Vicky (ohh ya go send her angry msg’s to update blog) decided to be turist for a day and check out CN tower. I haven’t been there in years so why not. There was also a gallery thing that Vicky was invited to.

Hope this wont get me in trouble but this is what you get when I take pictures of people.

Vicky somewhere down

Vicky being a turist, taking a picture of the CN tower.

And this is what happens when you are waiting in line. I think this perfectly sums up the feeling of standing there. I think it took us good 30 – 40 min to make it to the elevator.

Finally made it up, parts of downtown in the background.

Love the light. Great smile as well. Vicky’s new hair = awesome for taking pictures.

Guess thats how its done these days. Who am I to question things?

Strike a pose.

And another.

Showing off her handy work.

Not sure whats going on there, I think it’s a granola bar.

We made it down and this is Vicky being ‘gansta’. Nice try

Random portrait on the streets. There was a Blue Jays game the same day, I think the guy in the background describes the feeling of all the fans very well. I think they once again lost that day. Yay last place.

We decided to grab some pizza and beer. We had some time to till before the gallery ‘party’

Ya I am just that funny. The beer might be helping though.

The said beer for all to see.

Hi.

I think by this time we were on out way toward the gallery.

Vicky loves nature. Outside Gallery 44 they had a little thank you get together for the volunteers and stuff. Free booze for everyone.

On a different note. I just got back from NYC and last week was the first week of school. Slowly developing film I think I have 3 rolls left, then need to scan them all plus some stuff I shot before. So really wishing I had a scanner at home.

Next time I’ll probably put up some colour Polaroid I shot. A lot of post coming up. So keep your eye peeled.

Good bye from the now getting colder Toronto

 

 

Harbourfront

Spent the day near the lake.
After we (me, Vicky, Yevgen) all met up downtown and some awkward phone conversation on Vicky’s side of things :P We headed down to the lake.

Vicky with the lake in the background. Just relaxing.

Checking out the lake.

Checking out the planes that were landing at Island Airport. Yevgen can never get enough.

Cute pic I guess. But WTF is going on in the background there with the couple. Is she feeding him? Cleaning his teeth? Your guess is as good as mine.

Important phone calls. She was calling her friend to see when she’ll be arriving to join us.

Yevgen being Yevgen.

Off to Watermark Irish Pub we go.

Hey there. Nice to see you too. Waiting for our drinks to arive.

Margret finaly made it.

The cool way to open moist towelette package after having wings.

Such a pretty smile from the pretty lady.

Yevgen enjoying salad part 2.

More talking.

Yevgen had to leave early, we stuck around a bit longer then headed home as well.

Great day.

More post to come. Have some film I have already scanned and edited and also just developed another roll of colour. Also finished another box of Fuji instant film.

Supper exited about NYC trip (Aug 31st – Setp 5th) with Vicky right before school. Bought myself 10 boxed of Ilford HP5 hope I like how it looks. Also have 2 rolls of 120 TriX and Fuji slide.  Hope I’ll shoot more then I did last time I went.

Peace from the now mild Toronto.

Something Old

Well here are some old shots I never got around to scanning.

First are some taken first time I went to NYC (October 2008)

I think this was in Washington Park. Could be way off but whatever.

This was taken after I shot a roll for 120 in my 220 back for a school project, so I had a bit left and took my chance to take another pics. This is what came out. That is Lake Ontario on the left, and a fingerprint in the sky.

On the NYC note I will be heading down there on Aug 31st – Sept 5th. Hopping to see a lot more of the city this time around, can’t wait should be great fun, so be expecting pics from that later on.

Peace from Toronto, we also had 2 tornado’s near by. Crazy stuff for sure.

Camping Revisted

Well as you may or may not know I went camping with a few friends a month or so back. I shot a roll of TriX b/w 120 film(the new one apparently) but took me forever to develop and scan it.

Well finally when I decided to develop the roll, guess what I fuck it up. I develop the stuff at home, and was loading the film my what I thought was light tight washroom. But i was WAY wrong. So 3 shot got completely messed up where you can’t even see anything and 1 got like half white. The rest got fogged. Here is how they look. I hope they can be salvaged.

The view of Lake Superior. I have a colour version of this in the other camping blog.

On our ( Yuri and me) walk back to the car after seeing the native paintings on the cliff face.

Tree and stuff. Really wish it wasn’t fogged on the edges. Will have to see later how they printed.

Thought I would take a portrait of all of us just before we leave the camp site for good. This was taken after everything was packed away and we were heading Tim’s/Home

Yevgen, way to keep your eyes open.

Right after this Yuri demands a re-take. Guess he got attacked by the bugs.

And here is Yuri take 2.

Me! Got Yuri to take this one.

Tree in our camp site. We may have used it for target practice, but don’t tell park warden.

Vicky. And see the destruction begins.

The rest of the roll is all gone.

More to come stay tooned.

Peace from the stupidly hot and humid Toronto.
