This weekend Dan treated himself to a large breakfast. He then treated himself to a “snack” of microwave chicken wings (which were gross smelling). And finally, for dinner, I treated him to my mom’s famous ribs. Lucky guy, though he should watch his cholesterol.
Raissa’s been kind enough to attend an early morning meeting with me downtown today – I’ll be carefuly scrutinized under her watchful… vengeful, spiteful.. judging (EVER JUDGING!) eye.
See that exif data on the right there? See that new Camera? Yeah baby – that’s right – pappa’s got a brand new bag.
These guys were showing off their mad skillz in the skate park outside of Centerpointe. View Larger Map You could tell they were brothers because, despite their variance in skill, the better of the two kept coming back to reassure and encourage the other. Granted, that’s not exactly how me and my brother played out […]
Sharon’s a woman I work with and let me tell you; she loves her sweets. I’ve caught her fiendishly fingering the icing off a birthday cake tray, and have heard rumours of her producing full batches of creamy frosting, just for the chance to eat it with a spoon. It doesn’t catch up to her […]
This photo is an example of a good crop (or so I believe). Composition is truly one of my greatest hurdles in photography – I have the technology down, and while I’m not the best photoshopper, I certainly can get by. It’s framing that shot, in a valuable few seconds that truly eludes me – […]
I’ve had a hard time getting into any book for the past few years – I ease into a few, mostly re-reading those I already know I enjoy – but aside from that I’ll read a few chapters and put a book down indefinitely. Aaron, I’ll get your books back to you when you finish […]
Man, I hope when I’m older I get a cool nickname. Right now I got JVL and that’s cool, I guess… if you’re into initials.But what does the future hold? Will I have an innocuous name like “pussy-flower” or will it be something that strikes fear into the hearts of youths like…
I never went to church as a kid (or as an adult I should add). Not to say I’ve never been in one, funerals, weddings, cubs & scouts, but really, they only appeal to me aesthetically.Being firmly Agnostic a church doesn’t represent the same things it does to many others. To some I’m sure it’s […]
Raissa got her doggy’s junk chopped off this week. So I hope you’re both doing well.
I’m think I’m on to something with this… You can see an X-treme” version of this image here.
Months ago, Aaron, Xtina and I visited the Ron Mueck exhibition at the National Art Gallery. It was very interesting, but we were disappointed that we were not able to actually take any photos of the exhibit – especially when you notice the abundance of imagery on the net.
Happy people being happy. I took this one for the guys around Christmas time, they then pixelated the photos (like 8-bit graphics) and mounted them on their doors with miniature elf bodies, cute little elf booties, and adorable elf hats. edit:
Today’s Faith’s last day at the Foundation.Or maybe it’s tomorrow?Anyways, she’s leaving and I’ll never see her again. memories
I’m quite obsessed, or paranoid, about the cleanliness of my ass. I mean, it’s my bum right? That place is a completely forbidden territory.However I am intrigued by the concept of colonic irrigation, it sounds like that would make me clean everywhere.
Well, here’s the happy couple from last week. It’s hard to believe they’ve been together 9 years, I still remember Jenny coming down from Oakville to pickup Ernesto from High school in her, errrr… pickup. Since I was some official/unofficial wedding photographer I’ve been processing photos of their beautifully happy faces all night and had […]
The Toronto All-Star Big Band played at Ernesto’s and Jenny’s wedding yesterday; the band was the reason they met. There’s something spectacular about being entertained by live music – a wedding DJ just doesn’t seem like he/she’d cut it.
There’s nothing better than having a party surrounded by your friends. I remember when I used to shun my birthday, keeping the date a secret to avoid any potential for people wanting to treat it as something special. Now I’ve come to embrace it, I try and get as many of my friends in one […]
I had seen this guy at the Local before – I just kinda forgot until he started grooving on the non-existent dance floor…
Ernesto’s Bachelor party was Saturday night, and, blissfully so, strippers were not involved. We headed down to The Local for beers and music; since Ernesto’s life has always been deeply routed in music (who else would get a masters in Jazz percussion) the evening took on a sort of “Jam session” feeling. Very laid back, […]
