Vintage Pasta (002/365)

My friend’s mother gave me a box two years ago containing some cans she cleared out of her cupboard. Look what she found!

Clucky (001/365)

This year I promised myself I would attempt a 365 project. Let’s see if I can pull it off.

The first shot is of my cockatiel Clucky (I never named her) cleaning her feathers atop my computer chair.

I also got to try out my brand new background for this photo.

Did I mention I got to shoot David Suzuki last week. :)
He was the guest speaker (and received an honorary degree) at my brother’s convocation from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. He graduated with a Honors degree in Bio-Chemistry. I am very proud of him.

Here are a couple of T-Shirts I designed based on the infamous interview with Billy Bob Thornton while he was in Canada promoting his musical side project: The Boxmasters.

The interview can be found on Youtube

You can purchase the tees on Redbubble in all kinds of wonderful colours:

Do not like “like”

definatalie:

I have always had my doubts about the “like” feature, but now after trying to like liking things, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a bad thing for the tumblr community. I have noticed less reblogging, or sharing, and more liking - or keeping cool things to oneself.

I consider myself to be a user who brings original content into tumblr, rather than a user who strictly reblogs other people’s content. I think both types of users have their place in tumblr land, but now it’s harder to find new things on tumblr because the rebloggers aren’t reblogging so much of the original content. There is a reduced capacity on tumblr for a message to make its way from one corner of tumblr land to another corner. That makes me sad.

I like the concept of sharing. I like the concept of reblogging. I am going to stay over here in the fusty old lady corner and bawww about it into my tea.

I agree 100%

Free Texture Photos!

I’m going to be periodically posting texture shots up here. These are all free to use for whatever project you may have in mind
This is an iron rich rock I found on a beach in Bell Island, Newfoundland.

My recent photoshoot for press shots with local musician Ian Foster (www.ianfoster.ca) was a success. Good luck Ian with your nomination for Male Artist of the Year at the NL Music Awards.
