Strolled Along Toronto Yonge Street

I like to walk a distance of a few subway stations at Yonge Street and carry a small camera, Sony T10.   Sony T10 digital camera (bought in 2006) has 3x optical steady shoot zoom (38mm-to-114mm-equivalent, f/3.5-to-f/4.3 Carl Zeiss lens) 7.2 mega pixel ccd sensor.  Though this camera is kind of outdated, but it still takes good quality picture.  Along Yonge Street, there are many interesting and beautiful scenes for picture taking. Carrying a small digital camera gives me the convenience of portability and opportunity to catch this moment of interest.  Every time using a camera, I think of George Eastman how he and Kodak made picture taking so simple, especially the digital camera.  Imagine, if  George Eastman and his Kodak company (Click here for Kodak's History) has never invented the digital camera or the portable film camera/film, we may not able to look back to see the past recorded by so many pictures, photography and movies. It is a pity to see Kodak winding down.

Yonge Street in Toronto (Canada) is the longest street (1,896 km) in the world.  The major subway line in Toronto mostly locates along Yonge Street from Finch Station to Union Station.  Between Finch Station until Sheppard Station (3 stops), there are many restaurants of different country origin especially the Korean food and Chinese.  Hence, there are many restaurant signs written in Korea and Chinese.  In addition, there are a few Korean grocery stores in this area, because there are many Korean living in this area.
