Photographer revisits the 1970s and 1860s in a person day at Sherbrooke Village
A well-regarded Japanese-Canadian photographer travelled back in time final month to revisit his 1st experience with an antiquated photography approach he’s come to love.
Shin Sugino immigrated to Canada at 19 and acquired a degree in pictures from Ryerson University.
A couple yrs right after graduating, the Countrywide Movie Board of Canada sent him out on assignment.
“It was a quite free assignment,” Sugino said. “Just go across the nation and choose the pictures of the impressions of this nation.”
That was the summertime of 1976, and during his rambles, he stumbled across an old-fashioned tintype parlour at Sherbrooke Village in Nova Scotia and experienced his photo taken. Sugino held on to the portrait, captured on a thin sheet of metallic, but about the several years, he forgot exactly where it was taken.
