Happy Canada Day!

2009-07-01T16:38:00.000-07:00

Although I'm not really celebrating today.. because we have a lot to do before my cousin Luca comes from Italy this coming Monday.. and plus.. it's dead in the middle of the week and I have to work early tomorrow.. So, i'm chilling with friends and family .. and being low key. Up until this weekend.. when the post-poned Canada Day celebrations will commence.

Have a good one my fellow Canadians.
Cheers! :)))

Explored on Flickr.

2009-06-30T10:05:00.001-07:00

Another one of my photos made Explore the other day.
Funny how it's the simplest photos sometimes..
(i took this photo with my cell phone...)

You can view my entire Explored set HERE

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you...

2009-06-29T17:59:00.000-07:00

We could sing our own, but what would it be without you?

So, i'm diggin' this whole lyrical photo thing that i've been messing around with lately.

This one was inspired by this song:
My Heart - Paramore.

No Doubt.

2009-06-26T11:37:00.000-07:00

Fotos from the No Doubt concerts I went to the week before.
Toronto, ACC & Darien Centre, NY.

Paramore.

Janelle Monae.

No Doubt.

(Photos link you to my Flickr album, where you can view larger sizes of the images.)

A couple of videos:
(sound quality is not good as i was right in the front and being very close makes for very loud recording... but the picture quality is good.)

Old skooL songs.

A real love survives...

Check my YouTube channel for additional No Doubt videos.

Explore'd again!

2009-06-11T21:27:00.000-07:00

Another one of my photos was Explored on flickr! That makes a grand total of four now!
: )

This was an older one I had re-edited and uploaded. I like the mood of the photo.

Sweet!
:)

In other news... I'm positive that some of my co-workers are going to be giving me strange looks from now on once they see my new post on crackbook. bahahaa
;))

Yeaah... cuz that's how i roll. BooOYAh. ;)

Tomorrow I'm taking a day for MYSELF and I have to run some errands downtown. I'll be taking along my camera. Pray for an unrainy day so I can snap up some super amazing photos. yep. :)) -- plus: i'm dying my hair. YAYness!

Buona Notte. .xoxo.

Hair Donation.

2009-06-05T17:44:00.000-07:00

So.. I've been growing my hair to donate it for the past couple of years.

Today was finally the day that I hacked it all off. Here's a photo montage of the events that took place. :)

This is my long hair before:

This is my long hair from the back:

Getting ready to chop it off:

The end.

Le Boat Cruise.

2009-05-30T11:48:00.000-07:00

I went on a boat cruise last night. It was quite alright.. until the sky got ugly and rain started to fall. But I still managed to get a couple of decent pix. Here are some of my photos.. before the drunken debauchery commenced... ;)

Most Interesting on Flickr.

2009-05-30T11:43:00.001-07:00

My photo hit Explore last week on Flickr. I was quite excited about that. It's an older photo I took and re-edited. And this time, it was without the aid of the Fix My Pic group views.. hehe

Anyways, I'm flattered. It's one of my favourite self-portraits.

:)))

The Countdown Begins!

2009-05-28T11:04:00.000-07:00

In just over ten days, I am going to be chopping off all my hair.
I am SO friggen EXCITED!! :))))

Visit locks of love to find out more on how you too can donate your hair!

I'm actually going to leave you with a song today. I heard it on this radio station.. and I already love the Cure and this song.. and i've heard it covered loads of times (including by Taking Back Sunday.. although I love them to bits... they didn't do any justice to the song at all.)... but this version was simply the most delicate and sweetest version I've ever heard and now it's my current song obsession. Enjoy! :)))

Now I'm Nothing.

2009-05-19T20:07:00.000-07:00

i smashed myself to pieces
i am gonna fuck myself up
i'm sifting through the ashes
oh what i have become
i gave myself away now i'm nothing
i let it slip away now i'm nothing
all that i can do is break myself in two
i fucked it all away now i'm nothing
wave wave wave wave goodbye
wave wave wave wave goodbye

365 Days Project.

2009-05-12T18:39:00.000-07:00

There have been a million things on my plate as of late and I know I never get to posting on this blog anymore (I have 3 other blogs that I actively post in as well.. which.. I don't post in often anymore either.)

Well, since I haven't had the time to post any recent Fotos I've worked on, I decided to use to this opportunity to mention my 365 Project. Yep... I've started one. I'm actually into the 3rd month now. I can't believe it's been that long already. So, yes... that's a portrait a day.. every single day.. for one entire year.

The good thing about it is that it's allowing me to explore my photo taking skills as well as my photo editing skills. I've been able to create much better work now from what I used to so, I'm quite proud of that (considering I totally sucked before). haha

Anyways, I'll leave you with the photo I took for today, which is definitely one of my favourites for it's cuteness and treatment. Feel free to browse through the rest of my 365 set if you're bored and bookmark it keep an eye on how I progress through the year.

Cheers! :))))

Il Cane Fa Bau Bau.

Zodi. Up to some serious mischief, as always.

Here Comes the Sun.

2008-04-28T20:31:00.000-07:00

Well, perhaps we spoke to soon. The weather has gotten a whole lot chillier in the past two days and apparently, it even snowed in Barrie today. Why am I not surprised?
Here's to warmer days ahead. *crosses fingers*

Domo in the Desert.

2008-04-20T14:29:00.000-07:00

Today was a lovely day to soak up the sun. DomoKun agrees.

Greener with the Scenery.

It's pretty at my sister's place.

Calm. Relaxing. Fantastic.
The perfect getaway.

The Boudoir Collection.

2008-04-18T13:26:00.000-07:00

Something new I'm trying out. I already have a photoshoot scheduled with one of my good friends. Lace, high contrast, a touch of colour and lot of deliciousness.

Sweet kisses.

2008-04-18T13:18:00.000-07:00

Check out a few of my other animal photos here.

First post.

2008-04-18T12:57:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to set up a website for my photography but I don't feel like paying for one right now and I definitely don't feel like taking care of the upkeep at the moment so, since I already had a blogger account, I decided to experiment on here. I know how to code html on my own but for some reason it won't allow me to code it in the blogger template.. something about XML sumpin sumpin.. So, considering the lack of patience I have as of late, I gave up. Quickly. hehe Basically, please excuse the poor appearance of this blog at the moment. It'll look all misplaced and bland until I figure out what the heck I'm doing.

Anyhoo, I'm not a pro or anything of that sort but I do love to take a bunch of photos. More of a hobby at the moment, but I'm hoping to gradually change my little hobby into something more. My favourite things to photograph are fashion, portraiture, animals, some landscape and abstracts. I dabble in photo editing and I tend to photoshop much of the portraits I shoot to give them various iridescent effects. I do take photographs of others and have already set up a couple of photo shoots with some friends and family. I have a bunch more set up for the near future. If you are interested in having photos taken (as I am building a portfolio) I would be more than happy to take your photo. I do make-up as well. I normally do all the make-up for my photo shoots.. so, if this is a problem for you.. you might want to consider looking elsewhere. I will definitely take a photo of your pets as well as I can spend lots of time snapping up pix of our furry little loved ones. I'll probably change this later on.. but that's it, that's all for now. Ciao ciao.
