2010 was a tough, tough year. 2011 brought needed stability and strength and I’m hoping that 2012 will be the year we build ourselves back up again. I can feel it coming. In January we started a year long journey snapping photographs once a month with the Twelve Photo project and I had some Polaroids [...]

As is now becoming a Mocking Bird tradition, I am signing off for the year with a look back at some of my favourite Polaroids from 2011. These Polaroids were all shot with either my Polaroid SLR680 or my SX70 using a mix of Polaroid 600, Polaroid 779, Impossible Project PX100 and Impossible Project PX680 [...]

I could tell you that part of the great Winter Embrace of 2011 is really getting into the spirit of Christmas too but for this merry one, Christmas needs no encouraging. It has always been my favourite time of year and there’s really nothing about it that I don’t love. Christmas in Canada is oh [...]

It’s no secret that my passion lies in film, but I must admit that I have been thoroughly enjoying using Instagram of late. I don’t love the look of the filters or the crappy quality of my phone images to say the least, but I really love the “instantness” of the app. There is a [...]
