I’m constantly amazed by technology. We recently purged our house and I found my original Nintendo game system tucked away in our storage compartment – how nostalgic.  It brought me back to the amazement I felt when I was a 5 year old girl opening my Christmas present to discover the craziest piece of technology […]

For July long we headed up to beautiful Tofino, BC to do some surfing, beach lazing and just general hanging out.  With a group of 9 of us I was a little concerned about the house we were renting because we had never been there before but it was BEAUTIFUL.  The weather wasn’t exactly great […]

A girlfriend of mine was celebrating a milestone birthday last week and a group of us girls decided to do something really special and hire The London Chef to come and cook a dinner for us.   Here’s how it works:  after developing the menu to suit your tastes, the Chef comes to your house with […]

This blog is only a month late (yikes!), but I have been so slammed lately, I haven’t had much time to write. We had my niece Ava for four days over Easter holidays and as tiring as it was, it was also a blast.   We took the kids swimming, went to the petting zoo, the […]

So I’ve recently become obsessed with bokeh, specially heart shaped bokeh. I read a do-it-yourself guide to making your own bokeh shapes, tried the heart and it worked!  Now I can’t get enough.  Here are a few of my shots (not great pictures per-se, but just so you get the idea).   I just need […]

My photography assignment this week was painting with light. We had two pictures to submit – one using a light source to paint either an abstract picture, words, or anything else into the camera. Different colours of light could be used as well as different materials over the lights to give texture.  I ended up […]

In my class last night we watched the movie “Baraka” as the theme was inspiration and this movie is where my teachers draws his from. It got me to thinking……what are my sources of inspiration?   My main ones are my favorite photography blogs which make me crave the life of a photographer – travelling, shooting […]

My last photography assignment was “wet”.  It could be anything to do with wet – implied, literal, whatever.  I had so many different visions but needed a model and that just wasn’t happening.  I was too busy last weekend to try to find somebody available in the very short time periods that I had.  If […]

Spring is FINALLY here!  I thought we were just going to skip this season altogether but the recent appearance of blossoms and sunshine are clear evidence that it’s finally arrived.  I love the change in seasons, especially from winter to spring because I am a sun worshipper. I can practically taste summer…..   Why I […]

I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging simply because I have been busy, busy, busy with other things besides photography. Now that my second photography class starts (already!) tomorrow night I figure I better get my act together and post pictures from my last class assignment.   The last assignment was outdoors at […]
