Film Photography Retreat

Sometimes a change of location is good, and as you all know, I love the northern section of Ontario. So throughout the summer, Tim, Chris, Tom, Mat, Dan, and I started formulating an idea for a retreat up into northern Ontario for a weekend film retreat, eventually settling on the last weekend in September. We all being fans of or connected to the Film Photography Project. The numbers changed throughout the summer, settling on Tim, Dan, Chris, Tom, Myself, and Tim’s Friend Eric. Six guys, a lot of beer, and even more cameras, everything from an 8×10 beast to 35mm (no 110, sorry). It Rained. A Lot. But it didn’t stop us much; we still managed to explore Sturgeon Bay, French River, and the lovely Naiscoot Lodge we were staying in.
