Fun Photowalk at Toronto’s Distillery District

The best aspects of the film and analog photography community is that most people are eager to hang out and shoot together.

This post shares some memories of pre-covid times, along with two of my fellow CCR co-hosts and photography friends. On this walk I was able to hang out with John Meadows, Bill Smith and fellow film shooter Dan Novak of the Buffalo area in Western New York.

We could not have asked for a nicer day to stroll around Toronto. It was a beautiful July day back in 2019 before lockdowns and Covid-19 protocols.

I was shooting my Hasselblad 503cx loaded with Rollei Retro 80s with a Red #25 filter. Notice the extra punch of contrast the red filter adds. I recommend trying a deep red filter with 80s, I think you’ll love the results. There’s also something special about shooting square negatives!

I hope you enjoy.
