Photo Friday: A Photo Walk
- Details
- Published on Friday, 26 October 2012
Authors: Jeanette deBoer
I had never done a 'photo safari', or a 'photo walk' before. Mostly, other photographers intimidate me. Most people have better equipment (I shoot with a simple Canon Rebel XS, bottom of the line.), a better eye, a natural comfort behind the lens of their camera. Besides that, have you ever visited a photography forum?...

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll already know that last night, I attended one of the most awesome, worthwhile events I've ever been invited to last night. Blurb.ca, my favourite photobook people (even though I've never actually gotten around to making my own book), hosted a 'Photo Safari' in the Distillery District with...A Two-Toned Round-up

I now have 3 dressers to make over. There is, of course, my antique style dresser that I picked up from the local thrift store for $70. Now, there are two matching small dressers that came in the same set as our new bed frame. They're a pale, honey wood colour, which may be growing on me slightly but is, ultimately,...Monday Musings: A Sunday romp. Through yellow leaves. With dogs.

Autumn is the most alive of all the seasons. As the cold moves in and the bite of winter threatens, I feel the energy returning after the lethargic, drowsy days of summer. The trees turn, preparing for a long winter of dormancy. How can,...
Photo Friday: I miss you, baby

I miss this face.
It's been a quiet week. In a way, it's been kind of like the night before a wedding rehearsal, when everything is in place and a huge sense of change is looming, but there's nothing you can do anymore, but sit back and tie ribbons on your freshly printed programs. This means I've been keeping house - doing...
Black Coffee

Today, I am drinking black coffee.
I don't usually drink black coffee. I like my coffee creamy and sweet, but still piping hot. Generally, I'm more of a double-double person, though I've been working hard - and successfully! - at turning into a regular person.
(Do they have double-doubles in the States? That's two cream,...
Photo Friday: Stairs

Stairs can be very symbolic. An upward climb, difficult, perhaps, but presumably towards something better.
I'm standing on the bottom step and I don't know what's at the top. I don't even know if these are the right stairs. My stairs aren't clean and clear. They're messy and crooked. And maybe they don't actually go...

Do you ever take a fanciful flight of imagination and wonder what life would be like if it were different?I know, that's a broad statement. Bear with me.
This past Saturday, as I spent the day deep in the satisfaction of chopping and mixing and prepping and cooking, pulling together a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner, the...
The #Fall15 Decorating Challenge Round-up

This week was a pretty exciting one for the blog. I participated in my first bit of blogger collaboration! And, it was fun! I was thrilled that seven other wonderful bloggers were willing to join me in a simple, seasonal decorating challenge. Sure, we were a little late - Thanksgiving is this weekend meaning fall has...A $15 Fall Vignette

I think what I've created is a fall vignette. I'm not really sure what makes it intrinsically fall. Perhaps the twine. Perhaps the dried potpourri. Perhaps the bright oranges in the photograph I choose to use. Or, perhaps the blue, which reminds me of the autumn sky.
Either way, I created a vignette and it's kind of...
