Bank of China Tower
I was cleaning and came across this painting (of the Bank of China Tower) I did in Hong Kong in 2006. It brought me back to being there and seeing this building almost everyday. It was my favorite part of the skyline.

Black Crab
A friend/Origami Master gave me this little (1.5" x 1") black crab. I've never seen anything like it. I shot these macro pics and they remind me of ink blots.

Drawn to Develop 2010
I'm taking part in Drawn to Develop again this year. This is the third year that it's happening and also my third year taking part. Canadian photographers are challenged to create a photo based on a street youth's drawing. The prints are auctioned off at a gala event happening on Thursday October 14th with all the proceeds going to Street Kids International. For more info and to buy tickets to the event please visit drawntodevelop.com
Hope to see you there!
My drawing this year came from 9 year old Suman from Nepal. Here's his drawing and what he said when a youth worker asked him about his drawing..
SUMAN – I drew a plane.
Q: Why did you draw a plane? Do you want to be a pilot?
SUMAN – No, I want to fly in a plane and go away from here.
Q: Where will you go?
SUMAN – I don’t know, maybe America. I will go away from here and I won’t have to come back. I drew the flower also, but I won’t have to take it with me. There will be many more flowers abroad.

My friend Dan was on set video taping the day of my shoot and made this sweet little making of video. Make sure you have the volume on..

Moving Finds
I recently moved and while packing I came across these Hasselblad pics from a couple of summers ago. I saw them once after getting them developed and then they disappeared . I'm happy to be reunited with them...

Going to Aberfoyle can be an interesting Sunday morning activity, especially when on a cleanse. You can find some sweet old treasures for a good price.
I first saw Dolly at a couple of weekends ago and thought she was pretty cool. I saw her again this weekend and she looked even better. I'm not quite sure why I'm drawn to her, but I am. I think it's the background colors paired with the greys, and the fact that someone spent a lot of time on this.. Maybe next time I'll by her. Hmmm..
