Flowers Are Us

Some overcast days the light is soft and mellow, filling the world with colours that seem to drip off of everything like wet pastel paint. A short shower of spring rain on one of these days will leave all things green aching and wimpering to be photographed. Who am I to deny Mother Nature that wish?

It's funny, come to think of it, how rain is usually considered bad weather, though all the while the droplets it leaves on the petals and in the hearts of the flowers only help them radiate their beauty more strongly and make them sparkle and shimmer in the light. There must be some hidden meaning to all of this. Some profound gem of wisdom. I guess in our lives when the rains come, although they seem wet and cold and we long for the dryer days we used to know, instead of complaining, we should just remember this means we're desperate to have our pictures taken...
or something...

My Coolest Pictures

Thanks to my friend Jean-Paul, I was commissioned by the popular science magazine Kijk to take a picture of some ice. They picked the winner for their article, but you get to see a few of the runner-ups!








The Great Outdoors

7:00 AM - MEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! MEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! MEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! MEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! Whack! "Urghhrmphmnpleuummmmnghghhhhzzzzzz..."

Do you feel tired and groggy when you wake up in the morning? One of the main reasons is probably that you aren't getting enough sunlight. So move that ass and get yourself outdoors! Really, there's all kinds of things you can do out there. You may think there's lots of stuff inside, but there's even more stuff going on outside!













Well all right, that last one was taken inside, but the cat on the left goes out a lot and the one on the right is very outgoing, so...

The World at Large

Are you sometimes struck by the beauty of small household objects? I know I am. It's somehow quite unbelievable that objects so small and mundane are made with such care and precision. More surprising yet is the fact that no one seems to notice. We take these things for granted, but somebody actually designed and made these things. Kudos to those people!
