grimsby to toronto and in between

I've been experimenting with the holga. waiting for the polaroid film to arrive, biting my nails in anticipation, cringing everytime the mailbox is empty (again), thinking, seeing and dreaming in polaroid. dreaming in french has come back as well recently.

so here are the fruits of my experimental labour:

b mode otherwise known as blur or more professionally known as bulb. have now discovered the usefullness of inspecting the holga before using blindly! though i'm quite pleased with some of these images nonetheless.

and lastly, as it is june 16 and blooms day let's go eat strawberries (not that strawberries and blooms day are at all related).

a little strawberry tip: for extra juicy, zingy and yumtastic strawberries add a dash of balsamic vinagre! you will be pleasantly surprised!

mmmm. enjoy!

chez moi

promised (myself) only film photos but gave in after a few days of blooming flowers inspired the digital finger to take over. Wanted to share a little taste of Chez Moi. If you've always wondered what a typical rural ontarioian town looks like - well here it is. From day to night - traversing towns, bridges, ages, concrete to nature.

Holga role 1

To begin my new creative space we begin with photos from my new camera! A Holga CFN - exciting!!!! I'm nearly 25 and finally have a medium format camera. I was a bit disappointed at first with the photos because there weren't any funny cool colour things happening but I've grown to like them.

I'm also celebrating my new bicycle for commuting to work - a blue rashleigh peugeot! Since my old cinammon coloured peugeot is now scrap, I have a new peugeot!

It's coming up to Bicycle to get there week in Niagara so let's get out of our cars enjoy June and ride our bikes!
