…and move through we did. Once the place we were eating lunch at remembered that we were there. They were too busy doting over a table of seniors who were ordering hot soup and coffee on a 30C day to remember the sweaty transsexual and her partner they were serving (at least in theory) at…

Once we were finished with the Bata Shoe Museum, we decided that we would pay a little visit to the Distillery District. I had only been once before (in the off season) and Kathleen had never been. I think the walk to and from the area was probably the best part of it. On balance,…

Once we were finished at the Farm, we decided that it would be a good time to return to the hotel room to rest a little and – perhaps more importantly – cool down a bit. Our next destination would be the Art Gallery of Ontario, which Kathleen had yet to visit! CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing Nikomat ELNikkor-S.C.…

Outside of the punitive heat being held in by Cabbagetown’s legacy of cultivated greenery, we took away one lesson from our little visit to Riverdale Farm: pigs get the zoomies! Pigs! Zoomies! We were working our way back toward the entrance from The Residence at the back. As is usual when I’m around farm animals,…

Speaking of the awful heat, we learned a valuable lesson while on our walk from Yonge to the Farm: as beautifully green as Cabbagetown is, it did not escape our notice that the further east we walked, the more humid it became. The plant life was pleased as punch, but, well, I’ll just say that…

On our first full day in the city, heat dome intensifying, we decided that our first goal for the day was to visit the Riverdale Farm! Neither of us had ever been, but I had heard about it many times growing up and, of course, it didn’t escape us that there were at least a…

Tummies filled, we left the restaurant after a good meal and decided to take a slow and leisurely walk back toward the hotel. It’s likely that a satisfying meal lifted our spirits a little, because when I re-scanned these negatives, I was somehow remembering that the temperatures had become a little more reasonable. Looking at…

The first day of my little winter vacation! A perfect time for …errands in the cold. They weren’t all errands, but after mixing up a little C-41 chemistry, I figured that it would be a good idea to get myself a little bit of Ilford XP2 Super around. It’s one of my favourites! So as…

Today, I have another “on this day” to share. This time, it was one year ago today that I took a little walk around the neighbourhood after work to make photos of the snow. On the theme of becoming soft as time goes on, we’ve had a bit of a cold snap lately (i.e. -20C/-27C…

Looking back through last fall’s photos, it’s pretty clear that we had at least a little more sunshine. Unfortunately, this fall has been both cloudier and rainier. Save for the beautiful snow we’ve had. For this walk (almost on this day), which took us down Gladstone, up Arthur, and down Slater, Kathleen and I were…
