This week's photo isn't as elaborate or challenging as I would have liked, but I'm sick with a terrible cold and had to cancel on my participant of the week.  Cindy, my housemate was a last-minute stand in.  Plus she made cookies, so that's amazing.
In other news, I have started working as a photography assistant for a photographer here in Toronto, which is interesting and fun so far.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to going to see Yann Tiersen in concert tomorrow night and looking forward to working weekdays only for the next while! Whoo hoo!

52 weeks - week six.

we watched the little mermaid twice while setting up and photographing this week.  
thank you cindy for doing makeup :)

30 days of getting to know me. day thirteen.

day 13 - a picture of your favorite band or artist.

I go through phases with music, right now I'm in a music-less phase.  

I haven't been searching and discovering artists, going to concerts or buying cds.  

There's been nothing new added to my itunes in months.

Eventually the pendulum will swing in the other direction & I will be as obsessed as I was when I was in 4th grade.  I would listen to the top 40 on my local radio station each Saturday and graph the songs in chart form - only leaving the radio's side for mere minutes in a 4 hour span. (I think I still have some of those kicking around at my mom's house with the old art scrapbooks)

Steve and I bonded over a love of music while working a music store together.  

His love of music never falters.  

I have to say, the one musician I can never get tired of is

Yann Tiersen - He composed the soundtrack to Amelie, one of my favourite films.

Oh, and if you haven't seen the film Amelie, I highly recommend it!

Here's a pic from Amelie - Yann isn't as photogenic ;)

Fave song here.

And how great is this - I googled Yann Tiersen to look for a picture, and he's playing here in Toronto in 2 weeks.  Love it.

52 weeks - week five.

this is my cousin's little benjamin.  
i painted the backdrop on some muslin, so i can use it again.

i'm in calgary this weekend, hanging out with my family and watching the superbowl. 

isn't he the cutest?!?!

30 days of getting to know me. day eleven & twelve.

sorry friends, i took a pause on these because i got stumped on #11.

day 11 - a picture of something you hate.
day 12 - a picture of something you love.

I have no idea what I hate.  I mean, aside from things like noisy neighbours at 3am on weeknights,  or overage charges for internet use, or my feet feeling claustrophobic in socks that are too tight... none of those seem entirely picture worthy.  Pass.

as for day #12.  i just got my haircut and love it!

here's a quick shot from photobooth.  i will try to take a good picture soon, before i unlearn how to style it or something ;)

checking out my new haircut.
