This past weekend I was asked by my friend Ben to help him take pictures for the Breakout West festival, the festival that takes place as part of the Western Canada Music Awards. Being generally a landscape, tree, plant photographer I was quite apprehensive at first, even declining the offer. After chatting with Nova about… Continue reading Experiences from Breakout West 2012

Happiness project for september: the decluttering
Continuing my happiness project I decided to take one of the first bits of wisdom Gretchen provided in her very own happiness project, i.e. that every month you should set goals, or projects, with varying degrees of manageability. I liked this idea as it is a way to keep tabs on progress while, also, getting… Continue reading Happiness project for september: the decluttering

le cabine (August 2012), a set on Flickr. Visiting J and Melly’s cabine. Although the Riders lost and I got into the liquor patch something fierce, I had a very wonderful time with J, Melly, and Bree!

Well it’s that time again for another “albums of the year” post. This year I had to sort through over 70 albums, sifted it down to about 17, and then began the most difficult of tasks in reducing that 17 down to only 10.

2009 albums of the year
As promised, and surprisingly before heading back to the worky-work, I was able to do my annual albums of the year {AOTY}. As with previous years, this year did indeed pose some challenges.
