Christmas dove ornaments
This will be my third Christmas in Vancouver, but it’s my first that I’ve had my own tree. Unfortunately, many of my Christmas decorations are glass and I left them in my parent’s basement in Ontario when I moved. I’ve been busy making my own this year, and wanted to share a quick and easy ...
New pot for my plants
I’m not usually a shopper of finished products, but a few weekends ago I found myself down on Whidbey Island in Washington, and decided to take a stroll down a rather windy but quaint little street. On that street I happened upon a great antique store. Not one of those overpriced Vancouver stores filled with ...
Olives, and rosemary, and sundried tomatoes… oh my!
Well, it doesn’t have as nice of a ring to it as lions and tiger and bears, oh my! But I was just about as impressed with myself when I made gluten free, egg free bread with those ingredients last weekend. I’m not usually a foodie, and this isn’t a blog about food anyway. Don’t ...
GDC and CAPIC annual picnic
Other than my usual 9 to 5 job, I took the spring and summer off (of my usual packed schedule) to deal with some health issues and let my body heal. But fall is slowly creeping up on us and I’ve been getting a little anxious being house bound for so long. I had a ...
Soon-to-be parents smile for the camera
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a radiant mom-to-be with a quick visit from a shy dad-to-be in the midst of the shoot. Below are a few of the great photos that came out of the shoot.
I want to be a fashion designer – comments?
Since grade 7, I’ve wanted to be a fashion designer. One of the first collections I remember is one from Dolce and Gabbana where they used a slick metalic plastic fabric, and all the models had black lipstick. I covered all four walls and my ceiling in a grid of fashion magazine ads during highschool. ...
3 R’s & clothing
I’ve grown up in a society that puts a stress on recycling and composting, and not putting so much in landfills. I don’t have a beef with recycling at all, but what I do have a problem with is the lack or resources to accommodate the first two R’s: Reduce, and Reuse. Although Fergie’s dress ...
VFS Impact awards
I was cruising around the interweb the other day, and I stumbled upon a photo of myself and my friend Shawn Hight on the VFS Flickr account. It looks like they’re a little behind, but it’s from the first Impact Awards last summer, in which Taura Hanson and I were nominated for the 0 to ...
Rubber boots in Seattle
Before I begin, I should say this is all my own rambling thoughts that have been bouncing around in my head for the last week. A couple of weeks ago, I went down to Seattle for the weekend to explore the city. I had no real destinations in mind other than the Pike Market, but ...
Float
This past weekend I spent on a 2 day night shoot for a short film called Float. I got involved with the project through the director of Growing Up Julianne, who also happened to be the director on this short film as well. It was written by Adam Warren, and when the project was in ...
