If you are anything like me, you spend a lot of time pouring over other people’s photographs on photography websites, blogs and in books and magazines. There is such an amazing truckload of inspiration out there for all kinds of photography no matter what your needs. I sometimes share some of my photography inspirations here [...]

The latest instalment in the ever evolving instant film parade from The Impossible Project hit the shelves last week. I received my first batch of PX70 Colour Shade on Friday and have been playing around with it all week. Before even opening the pack, I did a fair amount of research on The Impossible Project’s [...]

The textures and colours are really important in making food look good, as well as plenty of natural light. I really love the rich tones all these amazing photographers have [...]

This little trip came out of the blue on a dark, winter’s day when the possibility of a family reunion taking place in Edmonton was announced. [...]

Today I’m taking off the photographer hat and snuggling on my teacher hat. In my many years as a primary educator, my greatest love in the classroom came every morning when the kids and I would get out our writing books and create new worlds with our imaginations. For me, writing is one of the [...]

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 [...]
