At the end of the day after assisting me, Maryanne looking like one tough cookie.

follow the leader

My roll of film wasn't rolled tight enough, and I ended up with these weirdo light leaks on a couple of shots. sloppy

I watched There will be Blood the other day, it reminded me of a lot the landscape that surround my mothers childhood home in Poland. this shot is from the small amount of film that survived that trip.

birch trees

another snowy one. This one's by the lake in the Laurentians. so pretty and quiet there.

happy newyear

ice cracking and spliting on Toronto Island

Rochester, New York

a test. Toronto Island. an unseasonably warm day.

Andrea being a good sport.

I have landed

I arrived in Poland yesterday after an exhausting 14 hours of travel. I'm staying in a small village called Dobrawica with my Uncle Janek, Aunt Krysia, cousin Yola and her 2 year old duaghter Olivia. They have a population of about 1200 people which is pretty insane.

Yesterday I was fed pierogi's at three seperate houses; two made them with cheese and potatoes, and the third was with cabbage(which is my favorite).

at lunch today I did three shots of vodka with my Uncle and his friend...it was pissing rain so I didn't really shoot, plus I needed to get a bunch of stuff in town.

I will post as much as I can, wherever I have internet access. In the mean time here is a shot of the bedroom I'll sleeping in for the next little bit. I told my uncle I will be stealing at least two of those sweet animal skulls on the wall.

more posts soon!

ps. on Sunday my uncle will show me how to shoot a shot gun!!! I promise documentation. (don't tell my mom)

Love hotel - Tokyo

Hey long time no post - anyway, this is picture from a 'premium' love hotel we stayed at. We had a private pool in our room, which had about 6 different colours of lights to "set the mood" - hehe

Design Festa - Tokyo

inspired by jamie c.

So its been a busy week and I haven't really had time to sit down and load photos. We've been go, go, go, since we arrived on Saturday.
Here are some shot from Design Festa, it's a big emerging arts and design fair. My favorite part was the outfits ppl wore to draw you to their booths. Here's a couple.
