I adore my flickr contacts. They inspire me every. single. day.

The sunshine and summer is finally here in Vancouver, so I figured I’d share some of my favourite summery shots from the past couple of weeks. I never thought I’s see myself in a tank top sitting by a fan in Vancouver, but it’s happening and it makes me so happy!
Most of these pictures are Polaroids and those that aren’t are film.

Have a great weekend all. I plan on being back full time next week with some film photography from our Canadian road trip and some travel tips. I have a roll from the Yashica, one from the Nikon, a little black and white and a Holga roll waiting for me at the lab.

I’ve already attended a baseball game this “weekend” (OK so I started the weekend on Thursday night), plan on sitting by the fan, reading more of this and making these. What are your plans?

Please go visit the streams of these fabulous photographers and tell them how lovely their work is. I know they’d appreciate it.

Snow, BW…is what I typed to search these little snowy inspirations from our friends on flickr.

I have a roll of black and white loaded in my Nikon, ready and waiting. I do believe what the Canadians call, a “flurry” of snow happened yesterday. That is probably not even the way that word is supposed to be used. I’m SUCH a nerd with all this snow stuff. I literally have no idea what I’m talking about.

I awoke to little specks of white on the roof outside our bedroom window. We went outside and it was falling. It didn’t stick around but it’s a good sign that snowy happiness is coming soon.

Please go tell these fabulous photographers that they are creative and inspirational and make pretty pictures.

This week’s Fave Me Fancier includes a lot of Polaroids and some gorgeous summery shots. I choose them now to warm me up in this still wintery Sydney eve. Check out no. 14 that belongs to Danni of Oh Hello Friend‘s workspace. I am extremely jealous of her Mac!

And today I give you the beautiful weekly faves on Flickr. As far as social networking sites go, Flickr is one of the best but so much more, as no other can inspire like it can. I am amazed on a daily basis at what a wealth of creativity and inspiration Flickr can deliver. Just look at the photographs above.

What do they say to you? What do they make you feel? Have they put a smile on your face or made you wish you were there at the places they were taken?

Number 5 is Whitney of Darling Dexter. Whitney takes photos of her outfits often and shares them online. This shot was so perfect because instead of standing still, on this day, Whitney decided to twirl. We should all have more twirling in our daily lives.

Number 2 is the perfect shade of red for short nails and that pink dress is delicately delightful. I like how the nails match the lips in the shot before. I am being a little daring and have started wearing red lipstick of late. I challenge you all to go out and buy yourself some red lippy, be daring and twirl. Unless of course you’re a manly man and you prefer a shade of pink.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments and support for the opening of the Print Store! I have been blown away by the response. Come back here on Monday to find out who the recipient of the print is!

Another round of Fave Me, Fancier for this lovely week!

These are some of my favourite flickr people here. Sometimes my faves from the week will all be new pictures uploaded that week, but other times I will come across an older photograph on my journeys around flickr.

Photograph number 5 is really special. Click on it to find your way through to Leah’s blog. She shares such a special post about new love in her life. Read it, even if you don’t know those two, it will make you weepy.

I am a big one for “faving” my favouite shots on Flickr and always had a flickr faves feature on my old blog, so I’m bringing it back here.

I obviously love photographs with cameras, pastel colours, beautiful light and prettiness. I actively seek out beautiful photographs and hunt them down. These are not just shots I stumble across. I hope to share my finds on flickr with you in the future and that you may discover someone new and fabulous.

These are my finds from this past week. Please click on the photographers’ links and shower them with love and support.
