Stewart Avenue

"Avenues" are usually longer streets than this one. But the word
"avenue" in these parts is also used as a generic noun meaning the
driveway into a church. I suspect that is how Stewart Ave. got its
name as there is a church there at the end, Cochrane Street United
Church.

This picture was taken in my newer Belair X6-12 camera -- I sent back
the first one for poor infinity focus and the people at Lomographic
sent this one with some alacrity. I took the picture with the plastic
58mm lens which it is not bad for what it is. I have since gotten the
new Belairgon 90mm glass lens and I look forward to using it. I have
not done so yet. The negative is nominally 6x12 cm; it is actually
53x105mm.

The film here was fairly old Fuji Pro400H film, a rather nicely
understated C41 film. It was old but I had kept it most of its life in
the freezer. I haven't done a very good job of scanning it and the
tones were a bit compressed in the original scan, opened up a bit in
processing. That is opposite to what I think is a better work
pattern: scan wide & cut down the curves later.
