Day 56

Hello friends!  Sorry today's post is so late- I've got a video project due and the programs I needed decided to stage a coup d'état and crash on me.  Needless to say, I've been doing damage control for the last three days.  Urgh.

Anyhow, yay for Mondays and exciting news!  For the first time, I'm going to have this blog series available for sale on etsy!

Have a great week :)

Love,

Day 57

I'm being indecisive today, so you get to see lots of different shots!

-Calgary (Hasselblad- see the funny little ghost where my darkslide tried to make an escape?  Ahh, film. I heart you.)

 -Tofino (Leica)

- Victoria (Hasselblad Polaroid)

Make sure you check back on Monday for the mini-series I've been working on (does that sound like a tv show?  I promise you it's not!).  

I know it's only November 12, but the Nutcracker has already been getting some serious airtime at at our place.  It can't be helped.  And then, of course, the volume gets higher and higher and the music swells and you really must spin and jump as if you're a ballerina (or ballerino, as the case may be).

I would listen to it year-round if I didn't think Steve would drive off a cliff.  Watching the Nutcracker is one of the things I look forward to the most every Christmas.  When I was a kid I would stay up late on Christmas Eve and watch it on the teensy old television in my room, holding the bunny ears to get better reception.

What are your favourite holiday traditions?

Love,

Day 56

Does it get any better than this?  You have no idea how fast I can shoot when I've got coffee cooling in front of me!

Also, be sure to keep an eye on the etsy shop over the next few days.  There are some exciting things on the horizon at Hearts & Photos!

Day 55

Bonjour mes amis!  I've made a decision about camera equipment: I'm just going to start working out.  It's too hard to leave anything behind.  It's only natural that as soon as I leave a camera behind, that's the one I'll want. 

Have a great day :)

Love,

Day 54

My friends! I haven't been ignoring you- I've just been out of town.  Please, please say that you still love me!  If you're on the fence perhaps this will help- part of the reason I was out of town was to bring you more pictures (lots more pictures)!  I'll try to post at least one each day for the next couple of weeks.  After that, posting to the blog might be a bit more sporadic since I'll be all the way across the Atlantic.   

I'll make sure to do mobile uploads of my polaroids along the way, so follow me on Twitter to get the latest updates on our adventure through London and Paris.   

When I get back, though, expect me to be a few inches shorter.  I haven't been able to edit any gear from my bag, and right now Steve and I have 55lbs of camera equipment!!!  My shoulders are already aching at the thought.  Last week I was being ruthless- I weighed each piece on my kitchen scale, looked through each camera's portfolio (I organize my photos by camera as well as date, subject and location.  Sometimes I scare myself) and begrudgingly decided that I would leave behind my Leica to cut back on weight.  Then Friday I got the film back that included this image and the Leica snuck it's way back into my bag.  Sigh...    

Have a great day :)  

Love,
