Well, I was certainly surprised with this group. Initially, I warry for nine minutes with a 1+50 dilution, but my concerns were immediately dismissed. These are stunning, with excellent tonality and edge sharpness. The trade-off is a bit more grain, but that's not bad.

It was the oil baron's of Petrolia that first brought the railway to Ontario's Victorian Oil Town in 1866. Lead by John H. Fairbanks (of Fairbanks Oil) who together raised the needed funds to build the branch to the Great Western rail head at Wyoming, Ontario. The line opened in 1866 and continued to operate under Grand Trunk after 1882. It wasn't until 1903 that the new Queen Anne Revival Station opened replacing the original wooden station built by Great Western. The brick station reflected the importance of the town's oil industry with a general, lady's and men's waiting rooms, three towers and platforms out the back of the station but perpendicular to the station itself. Canadian National operated the station only four years, closing it in 1927. A decade later it became home to the town library and has remained that way since, receiving a major renovation and restoration in 1998 and being renamed the Robert M. Nicol Memorial Library.

ROC Ideal 10x12 camera in clean working condition! I seriously considered whether to spend time trying to clean and polish the brass parts, but in the end decided to leave the brass trim as found. I think the tarnish gives it character. And that was convenient because it would have taken me many, many hours to deal with that.
This camera was manufactured by Rochester Optical Company during the mid-1890s. It came with a Carl Zeiss Jena Protarlinse VII lens, and included 4 10x12 glass plate holders. My plan is to shoot 8x10 paper negs by attaching RC paper to 10x12 glass or plexi.

Work on the Wellington, Grey & Bruce railway had started back in 1867; the goal was to build a route from Guelph with branches to Southampton and Kincardine. A link into Toronto was provided by Great Western Railway. The line would reach Palmerston in 1871, and a single-storey station was completed. Palmerston would become a central junction for the W,G&B line as here it branched to both Kincardine and Southampton. By 1876 traffic had increased to the point where a second storey was added to the station. W,G&B reached a traffic sharing agreement with GWR in 1873, and GWR purchased a majority share in the corporation in 1876. Although owning the line did not do much for GWR. When Grand Trunk took over GWR in 1882, they got W,G&B at the same time. While they didn't look too kindly on the small route, it did have some use. Palmerston would become an even bigger junction, and soon a massive yard was present. Including coal sheds, a turntable, and a roundhouse. A train from Palmerston would be anywhere in Ontario within an hour. By the turn of the century, Grand Trunk had completed another major renovation, fresh paint and a tower. The tower would burn down in 1912. GTR also built a pedestrian bridge to allow easy crossing of their railyards. CNR continued operations at Palmerston in 1923 and would install a false ceiling in the waiting room during the 1930s. By the mid-century, it covered the exterior with insulbrick and painted the standard CN Red/Maroon. Most of the steam locomotive support structures were demolished in 1959 as diesel locomotives supplanted steam. The last passenger train would leave Palmerston in 1970, the branch was abandoned in 1982, and the last train through was in 1996, and the tracks were torn up. Today the station, saved from demolition and the Pedestrian Bridge, forms a Railway Heritage Museum for the community.

A great idea can't be dimmed. Created in the days well before Photoshop, this image is how it looked in camera.
My original concept was created for an ad agency as the cover of a retail catalog, it's been my signature image for over 25 years. Friend and assistant Michael Bodycomb (now with the Frick Museum, New York) helped tremendously with the execution to final film.

The grand home of the Chisholms in Oakville. Built in three sections, the original 1835 brick structure was used for multiple purposes as a custom's house, and store. An addition added a home space for William's family. The estate gained it's full potential under Robert Kerr Chisholm who added the grand Italinate addtion in 1858. The home continued to serve the Chisholm family until the 1960s. After spending almost a decade as appartments, it was purchased by the town in 1977 to save the historic building from being developed into a condo tower. Restoration took place in 1989 after the final tenants moved out and opened in 1991 as the Oakville Museum.

Named for the distance between its exit at Lake Ontario to the Great Lake's western end, the Sixteen Mile Creek has gone through many names throughout its history. But it's here the story starts as, without the Creek, there would be no Oakville. The Creek's wide drainage basin for farming, transport for goods and people and power for mills. Plus, a good harbour at its mouth.

I wasn't entirely sure what was going on with this thin layer of pond ice, but I knew I liked it. I was initially planning on shooting a tighter more abstract scene, but eventually decided including the frost bitten shoreline gave some context and grounded the composition.
The scene was in full shade so I used an 812 warming filter. There was a mild glare from the sky near the top of the scene that was approaching +2EV, but I had confidence Kodak Ektachrome could handle it with ease.
Completed in 1904, the new Uxbridge Station would like many other stations at the time to be part of Grand Trunk's great reconstruction efforts. Replacing the original wooden shed-like station completed in 1871 by Toronto & Nipissing. While primarily built from wood, there is a brick foundation and features a large Witch's Hat and is one of six stations that survive that have this feature. Canadian National continued operations in Uxbridge until 1978 and closed the station at that point. Freight continued to operate out of the yard nearby until the 1980s, and the main tracks were pulled up in 1996 and form part of the town's rail trail. The town of Uxbridge purchased the station to save it from demolition, and today it is used by the York-Durham Heritage Railroad.

This photo of my 1941 Graflex Anniversary Speed Graphic 4x5 camera was taken using an "Ideal" 10x12 field camera made by Rochester Optical Co. circa 1895. This was the first photo I took with it (including a few tests prior to the final image). I used Ilford 8x10 photo paper taped to 10x12 glass in an original glass plate holder to get a paper negative, which I then scanned, inverted, and flipped left to right. I then did my usual post processing work in Photoshop.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two scans and merged back together in PhotoShop since the V600 doesn't natively support 4x5 scans in one pass. Cropped to square format in Lightroom.
I think I should have added a rim light and reflector to open up the shadows just bit. I'm not fond of how the shadow areas got blocked up on this one during scanning.

A station for North Toronto has been in place since 1884, the original station built by Ontario & Quebec (a paper corporation for Canadian Pacific), the 1884 station was one of the few that deviated from the standard "Van Horne" design. The station was a quiet stop on the CPR line into Toronto while most traffic was directed to Union Station (the second one). By 1904, Union Station was over crowded and over complicated, this only got worse and CPR decided it needed to build their own Toronto flagship station. Raising the rail line between 1912-17, construction on the new station began in 1915. The new North Toronto station was designed in the Beaux Arts Style by Darling & Pearson with a clock tower modelled after the iconic Campanile di San Marco in Venice. The station completed out of Tyndall limestone with marble clad interior and bronze fixtures. The station opened to traffic in 1916. However, the station's life was short lived with the new Union Station opening in 1927, by 1931 much of the traffic had been redirected and train traffic ceased. A Brewer's Retail location opened that same year in the norther section of the terminal. Although it was reopened twice, once in 1939 for the Royal Tour of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and again in 1945-6 as a disembarkation station for returning Canadian Soldiers from World War Two. The station remained off limits and boarded up with the LCBO and Brewer's Retail operating in only a small part of the station. The clocks were removed in 1950, and the station sat empty for nearly half a century. It became the focus of a major lawsuit between Canadian Pacific and a few minority share holders of Ontario & Quebec through the 1970s and 1980s as part of a wider suit regarding the disposal of surplus track and properties. The Station received a historical designation in 1975 by the City of Toronto and thus was saved from demolition during a vast urban renewal project that the city undertook during the later parts of the 20th Century. A massive restoration effort in 2004 transformed the entire station into Ontario's largest LCBO store. The time capsule was opened and replaced in 2015.

The third station constructed on the Great Western line for the city of Woodstock and despite being built under the Great Western Banner, by 1885 when the station was completed, the GWR was under the ownership of Grand Trunk. The station's Gothic Revival styling, brick construction, and asymmetrical design certainly makes it stand out from other stations of the era, and makes sense as the last GWR station built, Bridge Street in Niagara Falls, follows similar design. With multiple waiting rooms, a second floor for the station master and freight office. The station continued to serve under Grand Trunk and later Canadian National. By the mid-20th Century the station had been totally painted a green colour. Restoration efforts in the 1980s restored much of the original white and green paint scheme and main architectural elements remained intact. Today it is another unmanned VIA station.

This is one of those cheap, giant 30" wall clocks that you can purchase from Target, Lowes or Home Depot. They are made to look like the clock surface is chiseled from ancient marble but the entire thing is just aluminum which makes the clock light to hang and work with.
