If you only knew…

Alone, you are not lonely.

Peace on wheels.

I saw these all over India.
I want one.
Pillow room in the back.

Pressing PAUSE

Heart Smile

On the shores of the Arabian Sea lies Mangalore city and its fishing port, 
the people here made my heart smile.

She sees through Bahamian eyes.

Everyone sees through their own eyes with their own unique perspective.
Determined by where they are from, past experiences, things they have endured, seen, been a part of, culture, upbringing, family, society, things that make them uniquely them. We have to learn to appreciate everyones perspective… even the ones we don’t understand. Then we can truly learn from one another.

I create a lot of photos.
It’s my way of expressing ideas and feelings I have, towards humanity, individuals and myself.
This 2 image series I did is my favorite of all my work… because it took a lot of effort to create but also a lot of thinking. I had a feeling.. and tried to express it visually… and while creating it, it kept evolving… and in the finished product, it started saying more than I ever consciously thought of. I can now read these images multiple different ways and I love that. My own images here have inspired me to not only put deeper meaning into my photos… but to create images that can be read so many different ways… because just like the book of life… we all write and read different stories.

The best place to RELAX.

On the beach. By the Ocean. mmmm.

Ascending.

ascending. daily.

Where on the map?

Where on the map…. do I want to go?

I have a big map on my wall with pins that I have put on places i’ve been and places i’d love to go. I just keep adding them… but at some point i’m going to have to chose between all those pins… roll up my map and pack it for my next destination…
or JOURNEY I should say.
What an exciting choice to have.
(Here is a random shot I did of pins on my map… you should put up your own map and pins… it’s so inspiring + fun!)

Hiding from Time

Runaway

I hear people say this one line all the time, it’s even been directed at me before…
” YOU CAN’T RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS” 
Well you know what, I think you can.
Because running away, usually implies running towards something else.
The fact is you are running into another experience,  running into new lessons, new insights, sometimes even new perspectives on the “things” you were “running away from” to begin with.
And all those sound amazing… so…. why not run away? Worst it can do is give you a new perspective.

Hung Up.

Hang me up and let me think.

Forever Beautiful

Beauty never fades, when you know what it really means.
My mother is forever beautiful.
This is my mom when she was young at my dad’s cottage, photos taken by my dad.

LEARN from the dark and go towards the LIGHT.

The dark only shows you how bright the light can be.

If only you could smell her through the screen. haha
This was a random surprise shoot. Thanks girl.

Happy Spring

Easter doesn’t mean much to me besides hanging out with my family.
Celebrating spring time and everything new rising up and growing, the freshness of the new season does. 
I’ll sitck with Happy Spring. Here is a image of eggs I did, which also represent newness and growth. 

Let your colors SHINE.

If only we all had the confidence to KNOW and BE our true selves.
To think of no one else’s opinions and judgements and just let our true colors shine out.

Shine bright. Shine free.

Fat head

…..to fit a fat brain 😉

Love yourself.

It sounds easy. It can be hard.
BUT… it’s the only way to live life satisfied and excited.
Love that you are uniquely you. Don’t measure yourself against anyone else’s definition.
This is your experience.

This city gives me so much energy. and excitement. and inspiration.
Gotta go back soon.
 

Lessons in everything

My hard drive messed up and I lost a lot of work. 400 GB to be exact! At first I freaked a bit, but once realizing I had personal picture backed up (nephews being born etc.) I relaxed a bit. I started to think of why this happened? What am I suppose to learn from this?

1)Back up work more – obviously
2) Maybe that’s the thing about art… it’s almost like an expression that can pass, because a new one is always sprouting up. Maybe those pieces were just lessons to carry onto the next peice. Maybe I am just doing these for the love of doing them, and not as attached to the outcome as I thought.

I guess that really is true passion.
How freeing.

Big ass shake

Sandbanks Winery

I did these wine shots for school a couple years ago.
My favorite wine is “Dunes” made by Sanbanks Estate Winery in Wellington, Ontario. Which is near where I grew up.
Check out their website – http://www.sandbankswinery.com/
In this photo I chose a Cabernet Merlot called “Waves”. (they have the best names)

No copyright intended, these shots were strictly for a school project.

Stress.

Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.

Pure.

Refresh your life.
It’s springtime.
Take a drink of cold water… a breath of fresh air,
and decide  to make your life into exactly what you want it to be.

Looking down the middle

Listen to natures music.

I always have my ipod on.
But once in a while, it’s nice to listen to nothing, while out walking. Just listening to natures sounds… animals and birds, trees and leaves, and waters and winds.
Fresh Air. Deep Breath.
Perfect.
