Finch’s Tea and Coffee House, Vancouver

| December 19, 2011

Finch’s Tea and Coffee House, Vancouver Epic sandwiches served in brown paper, tables placed in raised window displays, ivy growing up the walls, mismatched furniture, and Horlicks served in mugs. Charm exuding from every nook and cranny.

Find The Beauty

| December 7, 2011

And a ho! ho! ho! to you… Here’s something a little different for me. I’ve been teaching my Shoot By Design course participants to step out of their comfort zones and I really should practise what I preach, right? So here I am with some darker images with no natural light in sight. I didn’t [...]
