I’m just being dramatic. I know that I am. I could have titled this “Charlotte faces challenges scanning a re-spooled oddball specialty film that third-parties like selling to make colour films available at lower price points” or something. But my gosh, is scanning Kodak Aerocolor sometimes an exercise in frustration. Going forward, I think I’d…

Would you believe that I am nearly finished with the re-scanning of photos I made during our vacation to Toronto in June 2024? Since it was the first time we had been back in town since 2019, I ended up using just over eighteen rolls of film! With our time rapidly coming to an end…

At least in June 2024, the magnetism east of the Don wore off around Coxwell. It was there that we decided that we had enough walking and boarded the Queen car back west toward Downtown. …Camera, that is.

After our little visit to Queen Books, we just continued down Queen East. Never ones to quite learn our lesson, one place we had planned to stop in at was the Leslieville location of Damzels, but we were just a little too early, so just continued past. It was just as well, we were very…

Our time on the Danforth was limited to a nice dinner at The Wren, but that did not end our time east of the Don. The next morning, we decided to board the eastbound subway once again, but we would get off at Broadview and take a walk down Broadview toward Riverdale and into Leslieville.…

Although it wasn’t always this way, since I began to visit Toronto more often – around 2014 – I’ve really developed a fondness for the city east of the Don River. Of course, it’s not as if I had bad thoughts about it before: I had just never been. When I was young and we…

It was when we made it to Parkdale that Kathleen and I really came to feel just how early we were. The main reason for our visit was so that Kathleen could visit Paper Plus Cloth, a Japanese stationery store, and unfortunately, we ended up passing around 11:15, which was an entire 45 minutes before…

As the False Spring No. 1 struggles to be born, we wait in anticipation for the first abnormally warm day of the calendar year. Although this week has been much warmer than those that preceded it, I don’t believe that the weather we have been getting qualifies as a False Spring. No, Tuesday doesn’t count…

Yet still more photos made on Queen West on a morning in which we were out far too early for most of the businesses were were interested in visiting to be open. It wasn’t all bad though. The weather had yet to heat up fully, it was reasonably quiet, and we still had opportunity to…

After a break to cool down and freshen up, we had dinner with friends at a pretty tasty ramen restaurant. Sure, it was still really hot. And sure, the restaurant’s air conditioning was not working, but it was such a nice visit, that all discomforts were easily ignored. We ended up back at the hotel…
