30 Day Project- Day 6

Day 6-
A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day


This is a portrait of Annie Leibovitz. I would love to trade places with her for a day. She's one of the greatest portrait photographers of all times. I would love to be her to live through her memories, such as her conversations with such amazing people she has met and photographed. I would love to produce a photograph as amazing as hers, and basically have the option to photograph whomever or whatever I want and in whichever setting and style. To be the last person to professionally photograph John Lennon and for it to be such an amazing photo as it is, now that's a piece of work to look back on and have such strong passion for.

30 Day Project- Day 5

Day 5- a picture of your favourite memory


This is a picture of Stephen Christian and I. Stephen Christian is the lead singer of Anberlin, an author, and a co founder of the humanitarian organization Faceless International. This picture was taken back in January 2008 I believe after Chorn and I saw Anberlin for the first time at Babylon in Ottawa. My god, I will never forget this night. Anberlin has been one of my favourite bands since grade 12, they are that one band that I can listen to to get me through the day. I think everyone kind of has that one band that they listen to for support, like a best friend I guess, and Anberlin is it for me. Its not just the music I love but everything they stand for, especially Stephen, he has been such a huge inspiration to me and I have such high respect for what he does and who he is. He is such a humble person its incredible. Everything about this night was amazing. the show was excellent being right upfront and witnessing first hand the passion behind the music and hearing it live, being with one of my best friends who I originally bonded with over Anberlin and who shares the same thoughts and feelings on the bands music and personality. After the show we stood outside for an hour in -40 weather to meet them while they played Call of Duty in their tour bus to unwind haha. It was so great that they came out to talk to us in the freezing cold, most of them are originally from Florida so they were baffled by how cold it was. This by far is one of my all time favourite memories

30 Day Project-Day 4

Day 04 - A picture of your night


Tonight I spent most of my evening altering and fixing clothing, I finally patched up my favourite pair of jeans, with leopard print of course. I am working on adding some length to that skirt with some zebra print and have some other ideas I will be working on this weekend. I also spent a large portion of my evening watching Criminal Minds while having a bath, which was super relaxing and now I am relaxing in bed before sleep and talking to the boyfriend <3
What are you up to this lovely night?

30 Day Project-Day 3 (edited)

Day 03
A picture of the cast from your favorite show
Last night I posted this blog but didn't really put proper thought into my favourite show and was called out by a friend. so here is the new version on Day 3!

As my friend Tyler commented, Criminal Minds is my all time favourite show. I think I have just been so caught up in Dexter the past few months it is all I can think about and it clouded my mind, that damn endearing serial killer! Criminal Minds drives me wild, if I wasn't planning on being a photographer as my career my second choice for sure is Criminal Profiler. I actually went to school for 2 years to pursue this with Psychology as my Major and Criminology as my Minor, but was really not into the whole University thing, it just wasn't for me. Although I loved the majority of the things I learned I think the structure of University education is what turned me off. I think my favourite character on this show would have to be Spencer Reid, I love how smart and quirky he is.

Lately I have been obsessed with Dexter, I would for sure say it is one of my favorite show at the moment. Since I couldn't take a picture of the cast myself (if only I could) I added some lovely blood splatters and some text. I decided to keep all the blood off of Dexter as he is so tidy and precise about everything. What is your favorite show? What do you think of Dexter?

Could you imagine if they did a few episodes of Criminal Minds and Dexter combined. Could Dexter slip past the minds of the greatest television behaviour analysis team? As good as Dexter is he has had some major slip ups and always seems to just barely get away. I personally don't think he could outsmart Quantico's best. What do you think?

30 Day Project- Day 2

Day 2


This is my best friend Kelly and I 2 summers ago
We've been best friends since grade 6 we decided we were best friends when we realized we have the same middle name, Dawn.
She is family to me, we've been through some crazy ass times and I know I can always talk to her about anything Ive done and she wont judge me. We go through stints where we aren't as close as other times but no matter what I love her, am here for her and will always consider her as one of my besties.
I love you Kel-Kel

C'est L'Halloween

It is Halloween Weekend yay, I love Halloween time, I love all the festivities, the colours, the candy, and of course the costumes! We got to dress up at work on Friday I thought I would let you guys see my costume. I was a zombie soldier, I really wanted to be a zombie since I missed the Zombie walk.
Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to go out and celebrate this weekend but I did spend my evening last night doing a little photo shoot with myself which was pretty entertaining. Let me know what you guys think of my pictures! I plan to do a 30 day picture thing on my blog, I saw it on my friends facebook and thought it would be an excellent idea for my blog so keep your eyes open for that!
