Camera

I was walking along the railway right of way in mid-town Toronto when I spotted this mural with its subject matter familiar to us all. It has weathered a bit but I think it may have been painted in 2001 so it is actually doing fairly well. I couldn't figure out the artist at all. I haven't seen a roll of film in a while!

    Oh wow, that does look familiar. Photography was an expense hobby back in those "film" days.

    Neat image, love the way the camera "pops" out! I was still using film back in 2001.

    ... and those flash squares. A second-hand shop maybe.

    Makes me smile. My daughter bought me a tee-shirt that says "caution, I may snap at any moment."

    Now, this is a mural that I get. The 3D effect of the camera coming off the wall and right at you is amazing. Love the old film painting in the background.

    Just like vinyl has enjoyed a big comeback, shooting film is on the rise again. Really. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

    I don't miss trying to get the film into the camera and later finding out it never caught on the notches inside. Love digital cameras. Great mural!
