don’t try this at home

Actually, don’t try this at all. Did you know that T-shirt iron-on’s don’t stick to eggs very well?

Nope. And then there’s that breakage issue.

This Easter, go for the model making decals if you want custom fancy-pant eggs.

The reason I never took computer classes in high school was that i knew in my gut that IT was coming.

My first mac was in college in 1993 and it was everything i dreamed a computer should be- mainly, it was easy to use. very easy.

Thank you Steve. You’ve made my life better.  You did.

 

The way a family portrait should be… real.

a very sad goodbye

It seems like yesterday that I posted this photo for a second time on my blog- and what a wonderful reason for it then when Jack Layton led the NDP to new heights!

Today I turned on my radio and was met with the sad news that Jack had passed away.

I live in Toronto in his riding, and was lucky to have met and photographed him and Olivia in maybe the nicest way possible- a beautiful summer day in T.O. at one of our famous festivals, Caribana.

So here it is again, Jack and Olivia in 2009.

Canada will miss you.

summer evenings are for walking

a true pleasure to meet and photograph– chef Mark McEwan

look closer

my lone morning glory looked so angry about the rain that he could punch someone

such a lovely little detail to a back alley gate. it made my day

this car made someone very angry

walking the evening beat

 

 

so far the fish has stayed in the jar. but for how much longer?
