A digital pic I took tonight, while I wait to develop the roll of film I shot today. The photojunkie button courtesy of Photojunkie (aka Rannie Turingan) — he handed some out at the Green Room gathering a couple of weeks ago and it happened to match what I was wearing today. See more of them here.
I went to Rannie’s opening at Le Petit Déjeuner this evening, but discovered enroute that I left the memory card in my card reader which of course is sitting beside my computer!! Argh!! What saved me was that I’d brought along the Pentax SLR and just purchased film for it by the metro station. THIS is why I lug TWO cameras around at once. If something happens to one, I always have a backup. The main disadvantage is that the Pentax is heavy, and if I bring the 70-200mm zoom the shoulder bag isn’t enough, I have to resort to a backpack. Needless to say, I don’t normally take the zoom along unless I plan to use it.
I nearly finished a roll of film, but I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get it developed and see what turns out. I shot off at least five pictures between the King Street subway and Le Petit Déjeuner (east of George Street); the brilliant spring sunlight and historic brick buildings along King ground me to a halt at least every half block towards the bistro/pub.
Le Petit Déjeuner was packed to the gills downstairs, but Rannie’s photos were displayed on both floors. I spotted Allen, and he sent me upstairs to show me which one was his favourite — a fantastic Holga streetcar shot. It isn’t in Rannie’s Flickr photostream, but if you happen to be in Toronto, pop into Le Petit Déjeuner (191 King Street East) and have a look at it before the show closes on June 6. My favourites in the exhibit are the ones he shot with a Lubitel 2, one of them shown here.
