Polaroid Afternoons

| February 23, 2011

I’m more about the pictures than the words right now. I’ve been playing with an expired pack of 669 that has sat on a shelf for the last few years. I love the colours even with the ghostly chemical splotches. Do you enjoy using films or cameras that are a bit experimental or do you [...]

Wandering Neighbourhoods: Snow Edition

| February 2, 2011

My Love For Ichiro

| October 6, 2010

A little Mariners baseball love…I just adored these Japanese fans who kept holding up a sign every time Ichiro ran out to his spot in the field. I have no idea what their sign said, but I can hazard a guess. There was a big heart on the other side. I understand where they are [...]
