Pinhole Day is only two days away! Well, technically, it’s three days away, but since the last Sunday of April this year is also Easter Sunday, they will accept pinhole photos taken between April 23 and May 1. You don’t get three days a week to come up with a pinhole photo to submit to…… Continue reading Pinhole Day
Failing Memories
Don’t you hate it when you have some memories from a long, long time ago come back to you just when you are about to fall asleep and you promise yourself that you’re going to blog about it the next day but when the next day comes you can’t remember anything about it anymore? I…… Continue reading Failing Memories
Developing B&W film with Tea
UPDATE: I posted my very own tea developer recipe here! After searching the web for information on tea-based film developer and not finding much, except for this rather inspiring forum thread, I decided to just bite the bullet and make my own tea developer based on what little information I had. I didn’t have black…… Continue reading Developing B&W film with Tea
I am Canadian!
I don’t enjoy hockey, don’t skate or ski, but I like snow in the wintertime (the more the better, with strong emphasis on ‘in the wintertime’). I find the winter landscape beautiful. I’ve been out and about with a camera when the temperature is under -10°C simply because I felt like it. I’ve been to…… Continue reading I am Canadian!
Dental Woes
I’ve probably used the picture above in another post in the past but thought I’d post it again because it just won me a new camera bag through a photo contest held by Book Depository! There were 2260 entries when the contest ended. Who knew I’d be one of the 10 winners. I only entered…… Continue reading Dental Woes
Goodbyes
Our poor little car Syd (short for Six Years in Debt) got rear-ended earlier this week and since it had had so much mileage in it (Troy travels a lot for work and we like to take long drives), the insurance company decided to consider it a loss rather than paying to have it fixed.…… Continue reading Goodbyes
Something About Thrifting
I don’t usually give a post a title until I finished writing the post but I’m doing it the other way around this time, just to see if it’ll help me focus on what I’m planning to say. Which I’m not really sure what but I guess it’s going to be something about thrifting. We…… Continue reading Something About Thrifting
My Grandma Diana
When I go thrifting, I am really drawn to Things That Could’ve Belonged to Someone’s Grandma™. You see, the only grandmother I ever knew died when I was 3 years old. She was my grandma from my mother’s side. Her name was Diana. I only got to know her through the stories my mother told…… Continue reading My Grandma Diana
On Exaggeration
“Most of life is so dull that there is nothing to be said about it, and the books and talks that would describe it as interesting are obliged to exaggerate, in the hope of justifying their own existence.” –E.M. Forster I came across the above quote a couple of days ago. Not sure what I…… Continue reading On Exaggeration
Dan Mangan
We’ve been listening to a lot of Dan Mangan lately. His latest album “Nice, Nice, Very Nice” was released last year but we didn’t find out how good it is until recently. My first introduction to Dan Mangan was through a song called “Robots” which we practically listened to all summer. Troy and I like…… Continue reading Dan Mangan
