Banff Road Trip

Amanda | July 23, 2010

I always imagined that I would get to visit beautiful places on planned vacations. On planned vacations that take me 2o plus hours of plane travel to arrive at. 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. [...]

My Travel Camera Kit

Amanda | July 12, 2010

Always my biggest dilemma when travelling is figuring out which cameras to take…or more correctly, how many I can fit in my bag. Before the Canadian and I went on our Canadian Rockies road trip, I wrote about said dilemma. In the comments, one of you lovely readers asked about what photographers take with them [...]

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.

Packing For The Summer Road Trip

Amanda | June 28, 2010

Oh, the dilemmas of packing… My Sean and I are off on our Canadian Rockies road trip to Banff and Edmonton tomorrow. I’m making the effort to pack light but that’s never how it happens, right? I think packing for a female is tough to begin with, but being female and a film loving photographer [...]

Letters To Lovers: France

Amanda | June 27, 2010

We have not yet met, but I know that once we do, our hearts will be joined forever. I’ve heard you’re very beautiful and full of that magic light that I chase. I dream of  sitting in your cafes watching the world go by and walking your hilly, Montmartre streets with camera in hand. I [...]

Letters To Lovers: Italia

Amanda | June 15, 2010

Hello, old friend. Remember me? You flirted with me at the top of the Spanish Steps and gave me a kiss at Fontana di Trevi. We held hands in sunny Tuscan fields and danced to O sole mio. I long for your poplars and olive trees. I miss your jolly, fat smiles and creamy gelato [...]

And Back Again

Amanda | April 22, 2010

Across the seas and land I go… Next week I will be blogging from the homeland as I am off on an adventure to Australia for a few weeks. I am off to get some happy soul family time with the mumma and siblings and to reconnect with my long lost summer wardrobe. As much [...]

Reasons Why Living In Canada Is Awesome

Amanda | April 16, 2010

Reasons why living in Canada is Awesome Travelling to another country just to check out some flowers is an acceptable thing to do. Flowers and pretty petal type things bloom big time. There is colour everywhere. Easter is in Spring when eggs are supposed to hatch and babies are born. Makes more sense that way. [...]

Whistler and the Magical Gondola Ride

Amanda | March 17, 2010

One of the best things about living in Vancouver is being so close to mountains and snow fields. My Canadian has grown up with a world class ski resort in his backyard and I often ask him if he knows how lucky he is to have had his own ski village and mountains at the [...]

Road Trip Time!

Amanda | March 9, 2010

Just as I started to get excited about blossoms and leaving the house without a coat, The Canadian and I have decided to take a road trip into the deep, still wintry woods of British Columbia. Polaroid SX70/SLR680 for snowy Polaroid love Yashica FX3/Nikon FM3A because I can’t just take one camera Compact digital for [...]
