The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

I just got back from the east coast and I think I’ve taken some of my best photos ever. I’ve shot Canada coast to coast, and though the mountains in the west coast are lovely, give me the maritime provinces any day; the warmth of…

Preparing for another trip – leaving tomorrow morning for the beautiful east coast. I will finally see Nova Scotia, which will leave Saskatchewan as the only province I haven’t shot yet (province, mind you, I’ve got plans for the territories!). At this point, having not…

There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind, I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky,…

This was one of the most magical parts of our trip to BC – a visit to a sanctuary for birds of prey on Vancouver Island, near the town of Duncan. I apologize for the image-heavy post, but these birds were so magnificent I couldn’t…

Finally we’ve gotten around to processing some images from our trip to BC. These images are from Goldstream National Park. The park contains stunning, giant, ancient trees, a beautiful waterfall and a scary high railroad trestle. Oh, and enormous maple leaves! This image of the…

I wanted to share a few quick snaps of the jewellery that Shanali was wearing in the Luminouscity post – I literally assembled it at the studio, but I liked the effect :) The intent was to use photo luminescent beads on black wire to…
