Found Antique glass photo plates

A recent visit at a local antique shop produced these two images on glass plates. One is of Chichester Rents, a place somewhere in London, of what looks like a newspaper image. The second one is an actual photograph of the James Stewart Distillery at the bottom of Saucel Hill in Paisley Scotland.

The information on the Paisley plate was found on the building. That scribble helped identify the location with Google helping for the rest. I have no idea of the year it was taken however. Maybe someone on the web can help me out.

 

Anyways, this was a great find for $5. Now that they have been scanned, they can be preserved and shared with the world at the same time.

Thanks for watching.

Performance art show

I was invited to a performance art show last Saturday and I found it was an interesting venue to try out flash photography.

Moving subjects in a low light environment was quite a challenge. I brought my G12 and my film camera. I didn't use the flash on the G12 but did with the film camera without any idea on how it would come out. Turns out that deflected flash works a lot better than a direct aim.

It was an intersting evening to say the least. This took place at the Xpression Gallery in the Mile end district of Montreal.

Thanks for watching.

Snow storm pictures

We finally got our first real snow storm of the year. Got some nice shots during and after.

In the thick of it.

Even the buses had a hard time.

Spare truck on the job frozen.

This could pass as an old picture except for a few obvious clues.

Thanks for watching.
