Happy 2010!

| December 31, 2009

The Canadian proclaimed that 2010 is going to be the year of Sean and Amanda. I’m not sure what he means by that as I feel like every year since we met has been the year of Sean and Amanda but it certainly made me feel happy. 2009 was definitely a big Sean and Amanda [...]

My Favourite Polaroids of 2009

| December 23, 2009

At the close of each year, on one blog or another I have done a “Best Of” of my own photography. This year I am sharing my favourite Polaroids of 2009. I probably used my Polaroid SX70 more so this year than any other, so I do believe it’s fitting. This shot was taken on [...]

How To Shoot In Dark, Winter Light

Since moving to Vancouver, I have had to deal with one nasty, ugly problem. Despite its mountains and ocean, its pine trees and snowy fields, its absolute and utter beauty, in the wintery months, Vancouver is one dark city. This is no big deal for most, but for a natural light film photographer like myself, [...]

Rifle Paper Co. Holiday Cards

| December 15, 2009

Ever since Rifle Paper Co. opened it’s doors, I have been patiently awaiting my order of Holiday postcards. My package arrived this week and oh my, the work is stunning. Anna Bond’s illustrations are as beautiful as I had imagined and the postcards are so sweet that I don’t want to give any of them [...]
