Toronto visit – Canon Canonet QL17 Kodak Portra 160

We went to Toronto for our sons 21st birthday celebration. We visited Ripley’s Aquarium first which was a great place to go. After that we had an early lunch at a great little Italian restaurant on College St in the heart of Little Italy called Trattoria Taveriti. We had gone previously and had the very Spicy Arrabiata Penne which I knew my son would just love (he did) After that my wife and other son headed back to the hotel while me and birthday boy had plans to see a great band from the UK called Sleaford Mods. They played at a great small venue called The Opera House on Queen St East. They were absolutely amazing live and I think it was a sell out show. It was the first time for the band in North America and it went well for them. I didn’t want to lug around a big medium format camera with me so I grabbed the 35mm Canon Canonet QL17 rangefinder camera loaded with Kodak Portra 160 film and shot the whole roll. The photographs of that day are below.
