{snowy tessellation}
19 Jani remember this being an assignment in one of my classes during college… creating a photographic tessellation.
at the time, it seemed so difficult… but today i have a different understanding of the digital composite images. when i was a photography student, the digital / social media world had not yet become what it is today… and a lot of my colleagues and i were not too keen on the idea of switching from film photography to digital photography. we were purists in love with the romance of black and white film photography and ansel adams’ zone system… and we also thought it was lame and pointless to do anything digital. it took a lot of convincing from my professors to get me to invest in a digital camera… but i finally {begrudgingly} bought one just before graduation. another hilarious truth – when i purchased my first apple laptop, they asked if i wanted to add built-in wifi and i remember being like, “ppffttt, why would i need that?!”
ha! – it’s wild to think about how much has changed in such a short time.
anyway, i think this snowy tessellation turned out pretty cool – what say you?!

figure-8s appear as the snow melts…
and snow dust sprinkles down from the trees…
this foto was taken by mistake. and even though it’s nothing special, i kind of love it.

composition, light, contrast, details, depth, patterns, aperture, bokeh, simplicity, mood, moments…
these are some of my favourite things about fotography, no matter the subject…
anyway, happy 2018! is it snowing where you are?!
{snow flurries}
22 Maralthough spring has officially sprung, and i plan on sewing some seeds in my garden this morning, i still wanted to share these fotos…
while the northeast was getting pummeled a couple weeks ago, we only received a little dusting of snow… and when i say a ‘little dusting,’ i mean just that.
it flurried down during the wee hours of the morning, and quickly melted by noon. i am glad i ran out when i did to snap a few fotos. this is the kind of snow i like – the kind that doesn’t last long 😉
it was just light enough to cover the trees and streets with a glimmering shimmer of white. unfortunately, some of the flowers and blossoms didn’t survive the cold… but nevertheless, it was pretty while it lasted.

april fools! – more snow on the way!!! big fat sigh.
it feels like groundhog day all over again… 😉
{by the way – i took this foto last week and the next day, it was literally a blanket of white…}
{whatever wednesday – foto love}
26 Feb
nothing makes me happier than when i’m taking pictures. nothing makes my soul shine brighter and vibrate higher than when i have a camera in my hand. i am at my absolute best when i am capturing the world around me, through these eyes, through fotography. creating memorable images is what i do best. i am in love with fotography, and it is in love with me.
fotography is my absolute passion in life.
snow, however – is not. but we are working on establishing a healthy symbiotic relationship…
😉
{abstract snow}
25 Febi took my camera for a walk the other day… and goodness, was it slushy and wet. however, it was still cool to see all the snow in its many forms… the patterns the water creates and carves as the it melts is just fascinating to me!
{whatever wednesday – the dark side of snow : volume two}

{whatever wednesday – “the dark side of snow” : volume one}
29 Jan
walking through the filthy snow-packed hills during x-games this weekend, i became inspired… and thus, i have begun working on an actual artistic series called “the dark side of snow” 😉
i’ve been taking my camera with me to fotograph such things, but i wanted to share these few i snapped with my iphone. do you ever stop to look at the details these old and dirty piles of snow create?! between the melting and re-freezing and various winds and plow trucks, snow forms from fluffy white flakes into slushy mixed-coloured mounds and stark white turns pitch black. it transforms from graceful to treacherous, from beautiful to ugly, from light to dense, from snow to something else entirely…
by the way, it’s almost time for mercury to go retrograde again… 😉
{thirsty thursday – a toast to all this white stuff outside!}
16 Jantwo delicious NBB brews to add to the list :
snow day – dark and rich and full of caramel notes…
accumulation – bright and hoppy with a crisp finish…
both brews celebrate the winter season, and the fanciful snowfall that comes with it. fanciful… how fun is that word.
😉
please drink responsibly… for real, though.
foto friday – ohh, the weather outside is frightful…}
13 Deci mean, seriously. the temps have been beyond frigid lately and i’m wearing more layers and socks than any one person probably should… but we’re due for a heat-wave this week – we’re going to hit 32 degrees!!!
😉

bbrrrrrr…. {but cool!}
bbbrrrrrrrrr…… {but happy!}
brr. {and it’s true!}
hope you’re staying warm out there. have a great weekend! haha, and my wearing-of-many-layers makes me think of this :
{whatever wednesday} — spencer the snowman
27 Febi mean, what else do you do with 16 inches of snow?!

{travel tuesday} — train rides
