Yesterday i went thrift shopping. i found a bunch of nice clothes and a new bag which i needed as my old Nova Tours bag is quickly wearing out. Above is one of the shirts i bought, i think it's really pretty.

My cold hasn't improved much, so i am drinking hot chocolate and reading for my essay. It has been snowing for a few days here so there is lots of snow about. Although it has also been a bit warmer so it's all turning into mush which gets really wet...annoying.

I hope you are all doing well in little stralie.

Lovely snow but a cold head.

Well, i've finally become sick. It's not that i'm happy about it, i am surprised it didn't happen earlier. It's just a head cold, luckily this week is 'Reading Week' so a full week off. Surprisingly Cold and Flu tablets are only $5 here!

This week is going to be really productive though. I have lots of work to do, essays and books and shooting.

Yesterday was really nice, it was 2 degrees! i went to the flea markets and then for nice long walk. I found some Kodachrome Double 8 movie film, dated from 1992, and some still kodachrome from the 1960's! Kodachrome is a type of film that isn't made much anymore. The way the film is constructed is based on layers rather than dyes in modern film. I really like the colours and tones of kodachrome film. I am interested to see what will happen when i shoot it. Today there was lots of snow and on the way home i made patterns along the footpath because i was the first to walk along there in the fresh snow. Wouter said i should trick people by walking backwards so that they think i am going in a different direction hehe.

Nighty Night.

Chinatown, Montreal. 2006

Susie and I went on an Architectural cruise down the river in Chicago while Maureen had a relaxing day with a massage. There are some very interesting buildings in Chicago. The Wrigley building, where the cruise started, has to be cleaned by hand. From the hotel we saw some men cleaning the clock face. My favourite building however, was this one.

Foggy Chicago morning.
Stepping out of the subway to this beautiful morning on my sleepy way to work.

Shooting from the Greyhound.
This film was x-rayed many times at the airport, i dont know if it was this that made the colours go crazy or from not being developed for so long and suffering extreme fluctuating temperatures.

I've scanned some more photographs; from chicago, montreal and our road trip.
i hope you enjoy.

View of Lunenburg from accross the water. I found a new love for my 70-300mm zoom lens. It makes the subject so flat and i love it!
