Moving Weekend!

Amanda | August 27, 2010

This time next week I will be writing from my new desk which rests beneath a gorgeous, big window gazing out towards the local Vancouver mountains. Said desk will be sitting in new apartment that the Canadian and I are moving into this weekend. I cannot contain my excitement. I am being a total nerd [...]

Summer Things I’ve Noticed

Amanda | August 23, 2010

Experiencing summer in the Northern Hemisphere for the first time in my life means lots of little observations falling into my pocket. Yes, I keep them in my pocket as I’m out and about, taking everything in. I like stock piling them for another day, to sit on and ponder. Here are some of my [...]

A Cafe Weekend

How’s your weekend going?

Summer Baseball On Film

Amanda | July 15, 2010

One thing about living abroad that I find totally inspirational is just getting out there and doing things that you wouldn’t ordinarily ever do at home. One thing that I can say I’ve never done in Australia, is go to a baseball game. Seeing as Vancouver doesn’t have a Major Baseball League team, we go [...]

Wandering Neighbourhoods: Crescent Beach

Amanda | July 14, 2010

Crescent Beach is one of those hidden little places that upon entering feels like you’ve almost stepped into somewhere completely separate from Vancouver. The ‘Welcome to Crescent Beach’ sign looks like something out of a Jaws movie and sets the tone for the quiet haven that rests ahead. Beautiful, quaint ocean houses line the streets [...]

Home Decorating Mistakes

Amanda | July 13, 2010

As this is mostly a photography blog, talking about houses and homes and all things decorating isn’t usually on the menu. However, one thing you should know about me, author of this here blog, is that I am a housey decor fiend. When most teenagers were reading Smash Hits and Dolly Magazine, I was checking [...]

Elk and Moose and Bears, Oh My!

Amanda | July 6, 2010

The weary travellers have returned and I have so much to tell you about our little Canadian road trip. Before I do, I wanted to share some Polaroids from one of the most amazing weeks I’ve had in a long time. I feel one with nature like I never have before.

Birthday in Polaroids

Amanda | June 24, 2010

Thank you so much for all the beautiful birthday wishes yesterday. I feel truly blessed to receive all the kind love that I did. You touched my heart in ways you’ll never know. The Canadian took me out for a beautiful day after making me breakfast and spoiling me with presents. We were super lucky [...]

34 Today

Amanda | June 23, 2010

Today I am 34. I should be panicking. My whole life I have been a head-spinning-can’t catch my breath-world is ending panicker. I have had a whole decade of freaking out about getting older, finding happiness, work stability, letting people down, being good enough and life in its every day normalcy. Strangely, I am not [...]

Summer Plans

Amanda | June 22, 2010

For my first summer in the Northern Hemisphere I plan to: Have my first summer birthday dinner on the patio in the sun (please be kind, sunshine). 34…Egads! Take as many sun flared, warm kissed pictures as I can whether it be with the Polaroids, the Holga, Fisheye or Yashica. Dare to dip my feet [...]
