My Favourite Polaroids of 2009

| December 23, 2009

At the close of each year, on one blog or another I have done a “Best Of” of my own photography. This year I am sharing my favourite Polaroids of 2009. I probably used my Polaroid SX70 more so this year than any other, so I do believe it’s fitting. This shot was taken on [...]

Reflecting on a New Christmas

| December 22, 2009

No matter how homesick I may get a few days before Christmas, my mood can always be lifted by popping on the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. There is something in those piano notes that just cheers me up and forces me to take a good, hard look at myself. Spending my first real Christmas away [...]

I‘m currently posting from what used to be my brother’s old bedroom with much of Sean’s and my apartment sitting in it.

Cherry Blossom Girl

| August 23, 2009

The Cherry Blossom hunt began this weekend and boy oh boy, did it deliver!
