One thing I neglected to tell was that I've found myself a girlfriend this early Summer that just passed. Joyce and I had a lot of fun together and still do. Blowing bubbles on the rooftop of her building was how we spent the hot days during the Summer and would definitely do again when Summer comes around again next year. 
This is Canon 5D of the film-era. It's also a good way to piss away film.
Okay, maybe this is a bad way to start this post. EOS-3 is an amazing camera. It has 45 AF points, and even seem to focus as fast as a 5D MK.II- if not, faster. It has a good enough build quality. Not quite like the Canon 1V or the Nikon F5, but it's not made out of paper, either. And most of all, I enjoyed shooting with it through out this Summer. Well, until I got my negatives back from the photo lab. 
Having the auto-focus system that spoils its user, every time I used the EOS-3, I shot like I shoot with a digital camera. Shooting things several times just in case and because I think I got the room in my memory card. The only difference here is my memory cards for the EOS-3 came in either 24 or 36 shots and were meant for single use. It's not a pleasant thing to see a roll of negatives where most of the shots are the same. And to add insult to my own injuries, they were not even moving subjects. 
There are things that I am still excited about the EOS-3, though, like the Eye Control Focus (ECF) system. Upon calibration, the user simply looks at the part of the viewfinder, and the camera will focus in that area. Considering this camera came out back in 1999, that is a very impressive feature. It doesn't really work with people who wear glasses, and I did use this feature less than a handful of times, but it's probably one of the features I like the most. 
Going back to the thought I had earlier this Summer, it really sounded like a good idea back then. It works with all my Canon lenses, it even loads my film for me (I only have to pull the film a line in the back, and it will latch on automatically once the door is closed) and it knows what film it has been loaded with and sets the ISO automatically. I don't even have to wind the film, it does that by itself, too. Once the film is finished, it winds it back. Again, by itself. Heck, even Ken Rockwell likes this camera. And funny enough, this is the only full frame Canon camera I own! 
As I said before, Canon EOS-3 is an amazing camera, but it's just not for everybody. Despite shooting with digital the way I do, I like doing everything myself once it comes to film. The loading of the film, the winding, the focusing, the rewinding of the film, etc. I even miss going to a dark room now. Maybe I'm just the type to work harder than I need to for my own photos, but that's just me, I guess. 
Below are the rest of the photos.
It's been one year since I had my red Converse All Star. I wore them every now and then and I wont deny it: they look cool. So cool, that I forgot about possibly the most important thing when it comes to shoes (at least for me).
From a distance, these two shoes look very much alike. The only difference someone could pick out would be the Crocs logo on the side of the Hover Lace-up. Up close, the Hover Lace-up appears to be a bit wider than the All Star at the front, which does make it easier to put on. Materials wise, Hover Lace-up is made up of very light weight material and even more comfortable interiors. All Star is heavier than it needs to be, while providing no comfort what so ever even with the extra cushions I bought for them.
Hover Lace-up is all stitched up as well, which means there's no glue anywhere unlike the All Star. This gives me an option of just tossing the Hover Lace-up in the washing machine for an easy clean. 
Oh right, and it looks pretty cool, too. 
Farmer's market on King. St (depending on your location, there may be another one closer to you instead) is open to public every Thursday (Date and time varies by location), morning to mid-afternoon until the fall hits. While the prices are a bit higher than you would find them in a supermarket, it is definitely worth a look. Summer wont be here forever, and neither will these guys. Well, till next summer. 
Canada Day just passed. And It's still so shiny!
This time, the photos were taken around the same spot as last (just outside of Ontario Place, near the bridge felt up with Pizza Pizza ads). The tripod was heavy since the tripod used this time around was an old timer Manfrotto Art 055, and it was also a bit of a walk, but it was all worth it in the end. Oh, so worth it.
