The railroad changed everything. First arriving with the Hamilton & Toronto Railway (Great Western) in 1856. This massive bridge is not the original, but rather represents an updated bridge built by 1885 by Grand Trunk, and an extension added in the 20th Century. It still operates and sees tonne of traffic from commuters.

Originally established in 1855 as a Catholic Mission Church to Irish railway workers. The parish was supported by the Jesuit Order, building a humble frame church closer to the downtown. A poor parish, they always filled the pews, but had little extra funds to pay the missionary priests. In 1874, after the Bishop refused to enter the run down church and through several years of prayer and petition a gift from a widow allowed the parish to relocate to the 'railway lands' and construct a new stone sanctuary in 1885. Holy Cross would worship here until 1965 and the parish turned into an all-French Roman Catholic church, L'Eglise Sacré-Coeur.

You will find it so stupid, but there are days that I just wake up and I want to shoot with a crappy lens. One of those lenses that many people in Internet forums swear they are pain sharp when in fact they are not. Folks, none of your industarss or helioses or tessars or whatever will ever beat a modern Summicron, so get over it and let's assume that for today's standards they are crappy lenses.
But somedays, I get up and I say, geez, i wanna shoot with something even MORE crappy.
That's when I pick my Smena.
Lovely camera, intended as a cheap gizmo for youngsters. There have been many generations of it, before and after this model, the 8M, always with a platic or bakelite body and normally with a metal lens that had to be cocked separately from winding the film.
I think that the 8M model beats them all, though. It is the living example that if you want to sell 25 million cameras of a particular model (they really were), you don't have to do any market research, serious product testing for feedback and elimination of flaws or a simple ergonomics study. No, you only need a closed market.
That said, I love the 8M. First time I saw one it was on the shelf of a hipster store, and I fell in love instantly, because believe it or not, I really love the design. It's got something.
That said, it's not a bad camera at all if you want to take some pictures with film: it's small, its light being all plastic and aluminium and the lens is from so-so to just ok. Hey, I can bet the one on your compact is worse. Besides, it has all what a manual camera should have: speeds from 1/15 to 1/250, iris settings from 4 to 16 and if you ara a little dull or know nothing about exposure, it even has wheater and distance markings for help.
Believe it or not, I really learned a few things on exposure using mine, and I would recommend it to ANY newbie wanting to learn how to use a manual camera. And, if you are so desperate for accurate focussing (not really necessary with a f4 lens), you even have a dedicated accessory uncoupled rangefinder that, yes, it will interfere with the shooting button, but on the bright side, it will look great on you camera porns.
Aside from that, it's one of the few cameras that doesn't owe its design to the west. Poor western manufacturer if he had to sell cameras like that in a market economy.
All in all, I love this little beasty.

This is Rockmount National School playing field which is situated on a hill overlooking Miltown Malbay in Co Clare. This field was developed by the parents of the pupils at the school so that the kids could have somewhere to play hurling and gaelic football when the weather is fine. There is no exercise space inside the small schoolhouse so all PE activity either takes place in the tarmacadam schoolyard or on this playing field. The school was built in 1865 but is still in use today and services the educational needs of some 45 pupils from the rural community nearby.
This marks the first set of pictures which I am putting together in a project which is looking at the current status of small rural schools in Ireland, of which many are under threat of closure for a variety of reasons. Emigration, falling family sizes and the need for parents to travel further to work are some of the more compelling reasons which seem to be affecting the viability of small rural schools such as Rockmount.
I photographed another school not far away from this one and it has recently closed despite having all of the facilities one would need to provide children with a fine education. What a pity it is to see this.

In this cabinet card a young man uncaps the lens of his tripod mounted camera to make an exposure. In spite of the caped coat, grass, and landscape background it was taken in a studio. The background is unusual because it seems to be painted directly on the wall rather than on canvas. The landscape has been painted over the baseboard of the wall. The photograph is by Whitley of Elmira, NY.

Once I read in an Internet camera forum a statement by an optimist fellow member that most Jupiter 8 lived on Leicas. I find this a little difficult to believe, as many leicaphiles are more Leica bigots than they are leicaphiles, and would never let a Cosina lens tocuh their beloved Leicas; much less a FSU lens.
Anyway, the Jupiter 8 enjoys a sublime reputation among less prejudiced rangefinder users, who praise the superb quality of the optics. As for the mechanics... well, if you can find a good sample you will be lucky. I am one of those lucky. This time Russian roulette in e-bay didn't turn bad, and I got the most pristine J-8 sample in the world, completely mint and with the smoothest operation possible. All in all, some $80, expensive for a normal J-8, but a steal for one in mint condition. This J-8 has found a place to live, it seems...

The congregation of St. David's is the youngest congregation featured in this project, having been formed in 1869, although existed as an extension of the Nassagaweya church for half a decade before hand. Their beautiful Gothic Revival and Richardson Romanesque Church was completed in 1891 is a landmark in the historic village of Campbellville.

Here in Ontario, the term " Township" is not used often today. It is a throwback to the first surveys of Upper Canada. The province was divided into districts, counties, and townships. Townships were then divided into Concessions and Lots. The modern city of Oakville is in the former county of Halton and the Trafalgar Township. Purchased under Treaties 13, 14 and 19 from the Mississauga's of the Credit and surveyed by Thomas Street in 1805. Settlement began in 1807. The Lyon Cabin is the oldest surviving building in Trafalgar Township, originally located on 7th Side Road (Trafalgar Road), where the current City Hall is located and is believed to have been built in 1820. The name comes from the Lyon Family, who occupied the cabin in 1879. The cabin was discovered in 1968, dismantled, relocated in Shipyard Park in 1973 and restored in 2014.

this is my Shen Hao folding field camera with a 6x12 rolfilm back attached. I was done photographing the lighthouse but stayed to enjoy the view and then desided to make a portraid of her.
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.

Using the Ideal 10x12 field camera in my studio for the first time, to photograph my 1941 Anniversary Speed Graphic camera. I used 8x10 RC photo paper taped to 10x12 glass in the original glass plate holders to get the photo, and I developed it in my darkroom (which I had just recently set up). Photo taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 II.
©2008 Phillip Nesmith - Over the past few weeks I have been working to get my new darkroom in working order. As of this past weekend it is operational.

Great Western was the first to bridge the Niagara River at Niagara Falls in 1855. Buffalo & Lake Huron had been contemplating such a feat at Fort Erie since 1857 but never had the money. It wasn't until 1873 that Grand Trunk contracted the International Bridge Company to complete a bridge between Fort Erie and Black Rock in Buffalo. The bridge, designed and built under the eyes of Casimir Stanislaus Gzowski and D.L. MacPherson. At 147 years old, the bridge still functions serving both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific.

When I started collecting cameras, I liked SLRs the most, specially medium format SLRs. Then I started liking inerchangeable lens rangefinders, like Leicas, Nikons and all the Soviet bunch.
It's only recently that I started to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of fixed lens rangefinder and viewfinder cameras from the '30s-'50s. I like their external line, the simple mechanisms and lenses (that could give fantastic results). Their design was elegant and serious, cameras of the '50s very much inspired in the ones from the '30s.
