On Saturday, day 126, I left Canada for the first time in almost 19 years, and travelled to Europe for the first time in almost 34. (Yeah, I haven’t travelled much in my life. I want that to change.) It was a big step, not gonna lie. I was super nervous about whether there would […]

I don’t think I’m ready to do themes yet. Some of my inspirations last year did them. Or at least, I think they did. Their photos had very general one-word captions that felt like special challenges or something. I’m not there yet. Maybe next year? Mind you, I’m getting better at finding interesting angles and […]

3/5 of these days were nice and sunny. Not a bad number for this time of year! The pattern here is me looking up. Which is not a bad thing: I’ve consciously tried to look up, look down, look sideways, look anywhere but what’s right under my nose. That way lies laziness and a boring […]

Finally took my lazy ass out for a walk on the Seawall Sunday around sunset, where I snapped a ton of lovely photos; I finally decided on a silhouette […]

It’s that time of year, what did we expect? But hey, it’s not just cherry blossoms! Vancouver and surrounding areas sport tons of different flowers, most of which were just sort of… in the background. I don’t really know much about flowers, to be honest, but I learned a little this week. On Tuesday evening […]

In 2016, a number of my friends did a “photo a day” challenge—some with a theme, some without. I’d sort of tried it myself a few times, but didn’t have the discipline to make it stick for very long. Plus, I think I made my job too hard, trying to post it to my blog, […]
