Thank you Jenna, for capturing the evening so beautifully.
And Veronique da Silva for getting us together…Coley Sim's for the design, Union Pacific for hosting, Terry Zolt at Loupe for all the print media.

AND, all the amazing women that filled the room…here is just one of Jenna Tye's photo's

Fun with film...

I think it was sept…I picked up a Diana,
Well I love her, she is very mysterious, and I never really know if she is seeing that same thing as me. But we are fast friends.
We found a cozy old red felt lined camera case for her to sleep in, and I have gotten many accessories so she may express herself in ways only she can. She is good and cute and two foto's we have captured were recently chosen…
(out of over 250 submissions)
to be in Luz Gallery, "Low Fidelity" pinhole and toy camera exhibition.
It opens thursday dec 3rd from 6-8pm…and will run until dec 23rd 2009.


These are ones that were not chosen…but I didn't really even try to get these ones in…I just like em

LOW TIDE!!! Come to our show!

LOW TIDE & CANADIAN GOTHIC

Rainy Day Protest

I'm not a happy gal when the gov't tries to take needed funding from a long list of things…and when it try's to mess with my creative voice and the creative collective that I so necessary to our culture, I'm gunna join in and protest. It was a calm quiet sort of stand in, the cops directed traffic around the few rowdy's that stood in the road and many folks broke that quite lunch hour of our small town with honks of agreement, and the rain poured down on us to add to our expression of gray. (even the rain wanted part)

Billianne…almost 4!

Birthday Invitations ALMOST DONE!!




I almost have all the Birthday invites completed. I am way behind, this party planing stuff for four year old b-days is getting crazy.

I am trying to do the most super basic party, and yet it is still requires a certain level of involvement. Even a no gifts, no goody bag's, cake only birthday starts to get out of hand…Billianne really does want gifts, but I don't know how to convince her that she has so much and doesn't really need MORE!

You can't expect a bunch of adults and kids to hang around a water park without offering some sort of nourishment, so we will make platters of raw fruit and Veg. And now Billianne want's cupcakes...no biggie, but I had to mention that I thought we should have cream filled cakes, so now I will be making 4 diffrent colors of icing, and stuffing each one with creamy vegan filling.

Still I am so happy and so proud…my little girl is turning 4 and she is so great!
