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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Snow, BW…is what I typed to search these little snowy inspirations from our friends on flickr. I have a roll of black and white loaded in my Nikon, ready and waiting. I do believe what the Canadians call, a “flurry” of snow happened yesterday. That is probably not even the way that word is supposed [...]
