wish i had seen this

(FIGHTING at the OKOK gallery)

why is it so hard to leave this city?

let's all gather around...

for the past few months i've been getting excited crowds. this is a new turn of events since i have been consumed for so long with images of mundane objects, a sun flare obscuring the entire shot but offering a beautiful palette of soft mauves, beiges and pure whites....

throwing caution to the wind i am embracing group love. here are some examples of photography and illustration. the drawing is from a local artist named keith jones http://www.nobodyland.com/ whose large scenes invoke a surreal 'where's waldo' sensibility. and the group shot of ridiculousness comes from the 2007 graduating class of central saint martins. the original picture was about twice as big but they've taken the site down and this thumbnail was all i could find...

call it an ode to globablization.

happy garbage collection day!

after 3 months of diligent striking - garbage collectors are back to work this week and vancouver loves the sound of clanging garbage trucks in the morning...

i'm a little late on this but i would love to do a store window all in RAINBOW neon!

i saw BAT FOR LASHES last night and it was lovely.

low-fi tinted glasses

it's not so much that i have an obsession with the film annie hall or woody allen. it's actually a bit of the opposite - i've never really understood allen's work and found myself increasingly frustrated the longer annie hall played on my old vhs player - it's really more about wanted to exist permanently in an old 1970's movie (preferably one set in new york) with the amazing desaturation of colour, grainy film quality and overly verbose characters.

anything that is filmed i'm into right now...degraded and low-fi...and the higher the waist on the pants the better.
