first sale!

last week photographic arts + trade started stocking film and cameras. shortly thereafter, the camera, a lovely ricoh kr-5 35mm film camera, was sold, making photographic arts + trade a for-real working store! HOORAY!

what's exciting for us is even more exciting to dear departed ricoh, who is going on to start a brand new life on the east cost (which is where i found him, incidentally). after so long of sitting stagnant, he'll once again feel the joy of making photographs.



bon voyage, dear friend.

bigs thanks.

over the past few months i've been featured in quite a few of these new etsy treasuries. i wanted to give promotion to these sweet people who have showed off my work for me, but with no readers, to blog about them seemed a waste! But now, perhaps a few people may see this, and to those i say, behold:

Weekend Getaway
a lovely, breezy summer sendoff. it makes me think of the maritime provinces.

no sales yet!! what??
featuring interplays of yellows and blues. like laying on your back in a field, staring at the sky.

Twist and POUNCE!
an elegant introlude into fall colour; the savoury blending of subtle blues with the rich creamy cocoa browns that i've personally been so fond of lately.

Learning to fly"
the trend of blues continues, taking centre stage in this treasury. reminiscent of the titilating time of year when winter blossoms into spring.

B/W & Y
just as it promises, here, stark blacks and whites are commented by nearly solitary accents of yellow. sometimes a very electric combination, but also, can be quite soothing..

Anniversary POUNCE!
an extravagant throwback, and a rainbow of rich colour.

little pretties unknown
like seeing clips of someone's memory of childhood; very floaty, and whimsical.

Blue in the Face
the blues come back in full force, grabbing your attention right away. gorgeous 'forms'.

Undiscovered Beauties
such an invigorating colour scheme - greens, yellows, browns - encompassing nature's full lively spectrum from first bud to last leaf.

The Undiscovered
enticingly abstract, deftly clashing warm colours with cold. a successful list, too!

Where the Wild Things Are
the model's gaze draws me in and the soft, yet gruff pastels keep me there.
