My friend Nancy is starting a fashion blog and did a mini shoot today around OCAD. I just so happen to have my camera today and took a few shots of my own.
We started off tackling the frigid outdoors to grab some scenic photos, then headed back indoors when our toes got too frozen.
Hopefully her new blog will be up in the not-so-distant future hopefully! I’ll be sure to link it and you can take a look at some cool Toronto street fashion.
Have been sitting around all day in my comfy pajama bottoms, relaxing and being restless at the same time. I feel like winter is really taking a toll, I dread leaving my cocoon of blankets to face the biting wind.
I bought a few pastel colored envelopes and have been staring at them for a while. I need to do something with them. They can’t be blank! Following my love for mailing letters and packages, I’ve been playing around the idea of creating a stationary set. Something that’ll give a special thought when sending out letters.
Something patterned? Tasteful stickers? Red tissue paper? I think I may open up for penpals in the summer. :)
I’ve had this unpainted little guy for months and he’s still as naked as the day he came out of the oven. I want to make an army of small figures, hopefully some toys in the near future.
Finally the day has come! I’ve been yearning for a new camera since god knows when, and after consulting my camera geek friends, set on the Nikon D3100. It is sweet! I don’t know how to use most (if any) of the camera functions so I need to play around a lot more before I call myself a photographer.
Today was the first photo-adventure! Pardon the image spam and not so interesting subject matters, I was too excited to actually set up anything to shoot and just went around snapping bits and pieces of my day time activities.
These are all unedited photos straight from the cam. It feels weird not having to slide these in photoshop for major overhauls like fixing the lighting and color. It’s a good kind of weird feeling though.
This was the old camera I’ve been shooting everything with thus far. Just a simple everyday camera for your average Joe.
Side note: I’ll be converting my tumblr to a mostly photo blog! I’ll be posting the cream of the crop here, but to follow my experiments and fun extra shots, feel free to follow. :)
And don’t forget flickr, obviously!
Happy New Year! We’re a mere three days into 2011 and already it’s looking brighter and minty clean. My new years goal is to get a camera and immerse myself into photography. I have so many friends with such amazing cameras and beautiful photographs that I’m keen in learning myself!
In the meanwhile, things around the house…
This gorgeous necklace was a Christmas gift from my wonderful beau and from my favorite store Magic Pony. It might be sold out since I can’t find it anymore!
I love getting orders because it means I get to make a trip to the mailbox! There’s something about the intimacy of sending letters, knowing a package has traveled from miles away, and passed the hands of so many people.
Another batch of cards, gold glistening in the light. It’s a bright and optimistic day today.
