Miss C.
The beautiful woman you see in this picture is one of my oldest friends. As a kid she was my neighbour, and we hit up the same primary and high school together. Despite Lindsay having travelled the world, we’ve always kept in touch. It seems crazy that we live in the same city, have something ridiculous like 17 years of shared memories behind us, yet rarely meet up. I hope to change that.
Meet Diana
When I was in Dublin I picked up a Novella Diana F+ camera from the moolah I made second shooting a wedding. I got off to a great start by buying the wrong film. n00b! Many people are surprised when I tell them I’ve never shot film, but I wasn’t into photography until my 20′s when digital cameras were cheap to pick up, and I just haven’t gotten around to buying a film camera – until now. It’s just a wee toy camera, but I’m eager to see how I find using it.
Good Bye, 2011
It’s the penultimate day of 2011. Where does time go! In a few hours I will be boarding a flight to Dublin, where I get to spend New Year helping two people celebrate their wedding, and seeing a lot of faces I usually only catch up with once or twice a year. Fun times. It’s become a tradition of mine – like many others – where, towards the end of the year, I will write a list of goals I want to accomplish in the coming year. I haven’t done that this time. The only thing I’ll be applying to 2012 is common sense.
Happy new year, everyone. Make it great.
Chihuahua?
Yesterday I came home to find two, beautiful pedigree dogs sat on my terrace, staring through the window into my living room. WTF. I opened the terrace door and both came tumbling into my house, chasing my dog – who happens to be the most unsociable dog ever. Chaos ensued, and I just couldn’t figure out where these dogs – that had no leads or collars – had come from. To cut a long story short and fast forward a half hour, I found a woman outside, upset and calling the police to report her missing dogs. Guys, be careful with your pups!
Chris Russell
Last night I went to the open-mic night at The Libertine in the Merchant City. I never partake in open-mic nights, but my interesting friend Gary – who also has lots of interesting friends – invited me along. It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve taken my camera to one of these things, mainly because I know the lighting is always going to be dire, but sometimes ISO 6400 just works.
Straight Up Selfy
This is my last straight up self-portrait for 2011. Honestly, I feel like 2011 passed in the blink of an eye, but in reality a lot happened. I moved to the city, took up strength training, went to College, proved that I am not human, and lots and lots of other things. With 2012 approaching – which I’ll be spending the beginning of in Dublin – my mind has of course turned to where I am with my photography.
I want to take more pictures in 2012. I want to take more, better pictures in 2012. I want to practice strobist photography, and I want to do a lot more traveling with my camera (and not be so lazy with …
Laurence Deveney
So, I took Laurence to Tribeca over the weekend to get these pancakes I won’t stop talking about. Actually, I had the french toast this time. I think I prefer it. Anyway, it was one of those extremely bitter days, which you can probably tell by the look of Laurence. I’ve always said I like winter, but this year I seem to have gone off it and am weirdly pining for some warmer weather. I hate the bulky clothes and shoes we have to wear in this weather, it makes me feel huge. I’d gladly walk around naked. I’ll do it if you do.
Hurricane Bawbag
This is what kind of day it was yesterday. It may not look like it from the beautiful light in my apartment, but outside Hurricane Bawbag was brewing. Here’s a picture of it right outside my house. I took Indie out a couple of times yesterday, none of which ended particularly well. Let’s just say I was glad to have the privilege of working from home, therefore hiding inside for most of the day.
Three Steps To Heaven
This needs to happen again, and it needs to happen soon. Screw you, Glasgow, and your delectable offer of naughty foods while I’m trying to shape up. *drool*
