One week working out of town and it feels like I haven’t had a day off in forever!
Last Sunday I flew out to Vancouver at 7am. Since Vancouver isn’t all that far from Calgary and we cross a time zone, I landed at 7:15am local time. :) True time in the air was just over an hour, but that always cracks me up.
I had a friend from High School pick me up with her daughter at the...
Flying to Vancouver in about seven hours and I’m still packing. Had all must stuff ready for work plus my camera gear (HAD to bring the tripod - there may be cool night shots! LOL) Then I go to check the flight - and see the weather. It’s about 9C here in Calgary, 29C in Vancouver. Crap. Grab second suite case and pack shorts and tshirts for after work.
I HATE going away for a...

Yay! Lesson 1 is here :)
I’m excited to get out and work - already thinking of subjects.
Also, I’m heading to Vancouver on Sunday for a week for work.

Sitting here in bed at the Medicine Hat Lodge trying to sleep. We all arrived today, got to meet my daughters boyfriends’ family for the first time. Sleep tonight, graduation tomorrow, then she leaves for her new home with him in a new province on Sunday. Where did the years go?

I'm a grumpy old woman - time to face it.
I haven’t even started my first class and already people are annoying me.
I got my student package yesterday and am eagerly awaiting lesson 1 to arrive. So eager, in fact, that I’ve been reading the student message boards and seeing who’s doing what.
Post after post of dumb questions like “I took this photo last year, do you think I could submit it for the lesson...
Well crap..
It’s 1:30 am and I just had wings delivered. I think I totally over tipped the guy because he bowed and saluted at me all the way from my door back to his car…

Just finished my first roll of black and white 120 film in my Holga - now I’m nervous to get it developed! I’m backwards from all the cool kids, I did film, then digital, now playing around with the whole lomography thing. I can’t wrap my brain around the “don’t think, just shoot” way of thought with them though, too many years have taught me to think about it...
HLOOKOFF Etc.: Memorial Day Weekend →
I’m a proud Canadian but I’ve spent a lot of time south of the border over the past four years and this is my 3rd memorial day in the United States. Today, American’s paid homage and respect to those who have lost their lives in military service, similar to the way Canadians pay respect to our…
This is THE song that got me into Shawn Hlookoff’s music.

That was pretty nuts. There was this massive exclamation and sigh.
The one at the beginning of the march or the end? (it happened twice that I saw)
I managed to get a shot of the actual rainbow from the end of the day near the end of this clip
Didn’t get the first one, but got folks’ reactions here again near the end
