au marché

there are few things i love more than a well-stocked farmer's market, and the public market on granville island is no exception. a couple weeks ago, my friends and i took advantage of the rare vancouver sunshine and trooped out there to gaze at expensive produce and deliciously tempting fresh bread. also we may or may not have been stalked by an overly aggressive flock of seagulls. but no matter. a good time was had by all. pictures below!

(not actually on granville island; on campus on the way there!)

 

my lovely friend paula!

what do you get when you mix a parasol, a beach, a best friend, a sunset, lots of foliage, and a lack of better things to do?
this, i suppose.

human christmas tree

so apparently i only update my blog when i can't sleep, and in short bursts of things that are long overdue.
i acknowledged it, which means it's okay, right?
right.
anyway, here's another frivolous photoshoot had with friends. we found some christmas lights in the lounge, and here's what ensued:

beachwrecked/wreckbeached

so, there's a nude beach ten minutes away from my dorm.
(yeah, get over it.)
(it's a beach.)
(and it's gorgeous.)
(and there are no nudists there in the winter.)
(not that i care either way.)
(again, it's a beach.)
(anyways.)
i go down there a lot to take pictures, on account of the gorgeousness and all.
here's a collection from september until now:

va-va-vintage

i've been rather into fashion photography lately.
consequently, photoshoots with friends have ensued.
this is a vintage photoshoot with friends from earlier this month!

kelp! i need somebody.

well hey there.

i've now relocated myself to the lovely and damp vancouver, where i'm receiving a higher level of education.

how nice.

it's a little embarassing how enthusiastic i am about living here. being previously landlocked in calgary has led me to view the ocean with an almost reverent romanticism: the first week i was here i went to the beach every single day. expect tons of pictures of the water.

on a related note, on my way here, we did a family road trip and stopped in victoria for a couple days to visit relatives and go to my dad's favourite restaurants. one morning while we were there we went for a stroll along this crazy sea wall, and i got a little obsessed taking pictures of the kelp floating alongside it. i had this idea that i could make an abstract project of it, since i don't often take abstract pictures.

here's what came of that:
