Wavelength 16 Night 1 Photos!
I’m having a super busy weekend at Wavelength Music’s 16th birthday festival. Last night I saw Foxtrott, Calvin Love, Keita Juma, Blunt Chunks and Organ Mood at The Garrison. Read my review and see more photos over on Ride the Tempo!
Galentines!
Nash and I don’t really believe in Valentine’s Day. It’s usually so commercial and stressful for couples to try and plan some perfect romantic date. Those should come occasionally in surprises throughout the year instead of one day. However, I did participate in Galentine’s Day which was a fantastic way for girl friends to gather together for a night of laughter and positivity!
We gathered around a spread of food and goodies. Not pictured was a delicious soup and splendid vegetarian lasagna. There was also a Mexican Chocolate Pie. My friends are awesome cooks.
Afterwards we gathered around and gave each other candies and fun little gifts.
Everybody’s things were so cute!
I actually had no idea what I was supposed to bring to Galentine’s as I’ve never been to one so I hand painted these punny cards which were a hit.
My Galentine’s haul is enough chocolate for the week!
Also this cute little horse eraser guy.
Galentine’s owns Valentine’s Day hands down!
I Went To A Show At A Mall
On Saturday I went to a show at a mall. It was awesome. Here are some of my favourite photos. You can view my review and complete post here.
I’m In A Gallery Again!
For the next month a few of my photos are up at the Wavelength #ICYMI gallery at Markham House in Mirvish Village. Go check it out! It’s free. There are also a ton of other things going on in the space check out Wavelength’s website for more information.
I Developed Some Film Finally!
Two and a half years ago I bought The Konstruktor, a DIY plastic camera. It was super weird to shoot with as the viewfinder was on the top and there was no indicator that you were using too much or too little light. A lot of it was trial and error. I finally developed some of those photos and here are a few of my favourites:
What I learned was that film is a lot harder than it looks without all the digital meters to tell you things like lighting. This is fun though. I found taking photos with film were far more thoughtful, as I couldn’t take 200 photos of the same thing without going broke. There’s something beautiful and romantic about these analog shots.
Lego Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart
Recently, I finished building the Lego Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart.
This set was more detailed and fun to build than the Lego Simpsons House. There were so many tiny parts and fun features including a frozen Jasper in the fridge. Here are some photos as I was building it:
Fujifilm x100 Teleconverter Test on Teddy!
I recently purchased the teleconverter for my Fujifilm x100 camera. It’s a 33m lens (a 50mm equivalent) on my crop frame camera. The results with this thing are beautiful and don’t affect the aperture at all. It’s also as easy as flicking a setting in camera. For $250, it was totally worth it to have this in my arsenal for my mobile camera!
A Photo A Day for 2016
I decided to start a new 365 project this year (well technically I started a little bit before January). In addition to blogging, I will also be taking a photo a day. I’m using tookapic to keep track of it.
Tookapic is a site dedicated to 365 photo projects. It keeps track of how many days in a row you take a picture and even has a thing for tracking how may days you uploaded in a row. I personally decided that my challenge will to snap a photo a day with a professional camera (my x100 or 60D) but not necessarily upload it the same day. Tookapic’s “in a row” analytics resets itself when you don’t upload photos within a 2 day period of taking them, but they won’t mark it as a “missed” day. I don’t plan on missing any days, I just don’t think editing photos every day is a realistic for me.
Taking a photo will be an awesome challenge. It will help me to appreciate a moment of every day and I will have an archive of blog photos for the year.
Happy New Year!
Yesterday we rang in 2016 with our friends. We dressed up and had low key hangs that involved sitting on the floor and eating a box of cookies.
It was perfect.
I’m super excited for what the New Year will bring and have already begun planning a whole new set of goals and adventures.
