52:320TXP - Week 18 - The Apothecary

Probably one of the most photographed buildings in all of downtown Niagara-On-The-Lake. The Niagara Apothecary operated as an actual practice from 1820 to 1964. Today still serves partly in that role but mostly acts as a museum, restored to how it would have looked in 1886. There were stares as I setup the camera in the middle of the street, don’t worry, I wasn’t blocking traffic. But a big monorail camera certainly cuts a figure. “Looking for cast members?” one of the many tourists asked. While the Sinar F2 is a great camera, and I understand the monorail camera’s value, there’s too much bulk to make it worth adding to my collection. If I got into more studio/product work, a monorail would be perfect. However, there will probably be several other monorails appearing in this project. Special thanks to James McFarlane for this week’s Guest Camera!
