Stefan Rose is a time traveler.
On a sunny afternoon, he was on King Street in Waterloo with his retro camera on his tripod.
When he looked closely at the image before him, a heavy cloth covered his head to block the light.
It is another building that seems to be at the end of its life.
Rose used his camera to record the Dairy Queen building at the corner of John Street and King Street. It was closed.
The sign says, "retired.

This is the daily work of the poet and photographer as a system analyst in Guelph, and what he did when he returned to Waterloo.
"I am interested in the changes around us," said Ross, born in the UK, who has an art degree from Mount Allison University and has lived in Waterloo for more than 20 years.
"I'm interested in places that many people ignore.
He has been taking care of the old man for many years.
Old-fashioned photos of buildings before they are demolished, and new photos of them as they rise.
His photo was recently exhibited at the library at Wilfried Laurier University and can be seen on his website at stefanrose.
CaOne picture shows the unique Ontario table and chair building on 21 Allen Street
This is a "beautiful" industrial brick house, reminiscent of King kirchna and the larger Kaufman factory on Victoria Street.
Like the larger Kaufman building from factory to home, the same was true of the building a few years ago.
To make way for the 144 Park Street house, it was torn down.

The process he used.
His camera is a Sunna panoramic camera made in 1927.
23 years ago, he bought it from a photographer in the West.
The cloth on the head blocks the light and he can focus on the image of the building and reflect it in the scrub
Glass panel on the back of the camera.
He can adjust the focus by turning a small brass knob that pushes the accordion
Style of bellows back and forth.
He said it was a way to take pictures that "needed constant attention.
"It's one of the fun to use the camera.
"He made 8 inch x 20 inch film and prints at home using a chemical bath in a plastic tray.

"There is a miracle when the image starts to appear.
Every time I see it happen, it's like magic.

But now, "This has changed.
The building is no longer of any use.
As a result, it is replaced by student dormitories, which means that "the expansion of the University of Waterloo is getting bigger and more prominent . ".
"These forces have changed the landscape," he said . ".
The landscape is rapidly changing, with light rail lines built between King Street, kidina Victoria Street and Waterloo Erb Street (

Sometimes, only the name of the new building can know what it used to be.
The Bauer loft used to be the Bauer industry on King Street and Allen Street, making padding for mattresses and automotive insulation products.
Across the street, the Red Cross office was once housed in an elegant Victorian home.
Now, the house is gone, six.
The red floor apartment project is in its location.
This represents an improvement that Ross knows.
He saw the city expand out and the suburbs and shopping malls crawl on precious farmland.
He knows that this is an unsustainable Road and the only way to adapt to growth in a responsible way is to build up in the city center.
