Art and Friends and Fun and Holidays and Music and Photography Decemberists, NIN, Sasquatch 5:01 am
This past weekend I had the pleasure of going to the Sasquatch Music Festival in the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State. I camped with a bunch of old and new friends from Handsworth and had an absolute blast. This won’t be an experience I shall soon forget.

Art and Nature and Photography Capilano, Forest, Murdo Fraser, Nature, Photography 7:02 am
Today, I took a walk down memory lane, actually memory trail. After being so taken by the beautiful natural scenery on Vancouver Island this weekend I decided to walk the paths of my youth with my Canon A590 in hand. Namely, I trekked through Murdow Fraser Park and the Capilano Woods.
Art and Books and Family and Holidays and Life and Photography Catcher in the Rye, Island, Job Search, Nature, Resume, Yellowpoint 4:27 pm
This weekend I went on a picturesque excursion to Yellowpoint Lodge near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Needless to say, there was more than my fair share of natural beauty to be admired and adored. It was a lovely way to get back into the West Coast groove and reinforce what makes BC so unique in Canada. I had a great time with the family and hope my mom had an amazing Mother’s Day.

Today I received a very special trifecta of gifts in the mail. Firstly, my mom sent me a copy of Love You Forever. It was a really sweet gesture of her. Indeed, if I had to select my favourite child author it would certainly be Robert Munsch. Everything from The Paper Bag Princess to Mortimer to Thomas’ Snowsuit, it’s alllllll goood! Secondly, my mom’s students, in a characteristic act of generosity, sent me a black and red scarf in the mail. It is just beginning to get chilly in Montreal and my neck is oh so thankful. If you are reading this mom, please pass my appreciation along. Thirdly, my friend Sierra who is studying at a castle in England sent me a very very cool book of art by an artist called Banksy. He is a very talented, edgy and stylish graffiti artist who takes it to the streets of London! The picture above is just one of his many awesome works of urban art. For the benefit of anyone interested I will upload an extensive gallery of digital Bansky scans that I found on Demonoid. Enjoy!
Montreal and Photography Adventure, Montreal, Photography 6:57 pm
Today has been a really good day. I finally decided to stop procrastinating and make a blog. I went to Staples and snagged a Canon Powershot A590 IS and then cruised the streets of Montreal taking pictures of the beautiful, bizarre sights. Some worked, some didn’t, but the whole experience was eye opening. An angry homeless man taught me the lesson that some people, other than just Native Americans and Jim Morrison, just don’t want to be photographed. In my defense, his battalion of feral animals would have made a beautiful shot.
Anyways, I tossed my three favourite photos from the day on the site for people to see. Enjoy.
Adios,
