Hey guys! Well christmas was a success! Like I predicted I ate way too much ( I had a huge mountain of mashed potatoes by the name of Whistler stacked up on my plate with some chicken, vegetables, and a bunch of other yummy christmas food) And not to mention the cookies after that just topped my fullness off and wanting me to get almost sick. But oh god it was good. I can't remember the last time I ate this much.... Ever in a matter of fact I'm used to not eating and if I do it will be a little salad or some pita bites and hummus. It was also very nice being with the family, I haven't seen them in a long time so just the fact of coming home for a few days just made it all worth it! As my family knows, I'm a photographer so how could I NOT bring my camera down for the holidays and NOT take pictures?! The 25th everything is closed so why not go out for a drive in the country side and stop in a few random places to take pictures of random things?! At first I was wishing I had one of my model friends with me because it would of been perfect but then again I had family right in the car with me so why not use them?! Sure they're not used to modelling, but having a photographer in the family they kind of have to get used to it! So we parked by an old gravel road and I took a few frames of my dads girlfriend, then we stopped by this farm to take some pictures of horses and then last but not least I took some pictures of my father and his girlfriend and AWWW HOW CUTE. And then we went home and my dad played with his new remote control helicopter I got him and quite frankly I kind of regret it because he wouldn't stop banging it in walls, having it run into me, my grandma and he won't stop. But then again it shows how old people can act like kids again, (oh oh , okay not old people but older people (my dad is probably going to read this and send me a message saying WHAT!?) ) So now like the old saying must come into place: All good things must come to an end. Which means it's time for me to go back home tonight and go on to our normal lives! Sigh*** It's really not bad, but I'm going to feel quite lonely without my family there in my little apartment. Oh well!! C'est la vie! Enjoy,
MERRY CHRISTMAS DUDES!! Well I know it has been a while I haven't wrote a blogg but what a day to write one! IT'S A SPECIAL DAY! Yes!! So for the holidays I hope everyone is spending a great one, with family, friends, loved ones and so on so on! For my party I've been quite lucky! I was sure to be working on the 24th or the 26th but luckily I'm not working either days which meant I could go down to Toronto to visit my family for christmas! I would of left the friday but I had to photograph at the hill for the new setup and Santa on the sunday. It was quite worth it tho, since I got amazing shots! (See photos below) Saturday was a cold cold day I couldn't believe those riders actually made it to the hill to ride the setup! Seriously it was soooo cold I could barely stand there! But like I said two seconds ago, it was all worth it! So anyways, other than that the following day I went to the mountain again to shoot Santa and it was quite entertaining watching those little kids all over Santa, super stoked! The elf kind of freaked me out tho... I mean since when do elves have green faces and creepy eyes? But oh well that's me and luckily I don't think the kids really cared since Santa was there. After that nice shoot I went riding with friends a bit and then went home to get ready to leave for the airport. Then the airport. Yes. While waiting for my flight I was sitting beside a weird man sleeping on the bench and he smelled oddly like baked corn. He snored, and talked in his sleep which creeped me out tho I was a little too lazy to change spot so I just sat there gazing at him annoyed, thank god I had an iphone tho.. Worth listening to music and texting friends, oh since I'm a photographer I went on instagram and started randomly taking pictures of weird things and posting them... (Sorry to all my followers who got all those pictures, I was REALLY bored.) BUT THEN I MADE IT. YES FINALLY. I swear to god when I see the CN tower all lit up from the sky, and all those pretty lights downtown I feel home and let me just tell you it feels GOOD. So now I'm here sitting on my grandmothers sofa writing a blogg just relaxing and getting ready to go out for a long drive to go take some pictures... oh and getting ready to eat like a king. Legit, I'm going to eat so much someones gonna have to ship me via Fedex back to Montreal because I will be too fat to fit on the plane. CARGO ALL THE WAY! Hahahaha, anyways, this blogg really doesn't have a meaning but I just thought I might as well write something considering it's christmas. It's that special holiday you spend time with family and feel good. I went to church, which I would never normally go but as a sign of respect for my family I went and it wasn't so bad. (Even the fact I was suffering from a huge headache it was good) I guess christmas holidays is when you get together and do things for your loved ones. Even if you hate the things some family members do you might as well do them to make them happy, and honestly it feels so good inside! You feel so accomplished and sometimes you realized how much you do like doing those things and you discover things. Either way I better get going time to go spend some time with the fam! Hope you all have a good christmas! xoxoxoxoxo Enjoy,
Hey guys! I'm finally moved into my new apartment! Yes finally! Alright well now you must ask, how is the apartment life?! It's good, it feels good to be in your own space, have you're own place and do really whatever you want to do without having anyone bother. The only thing is that it gets quite lonely. Like for instance today, I drove my friend back to his place and then got home and did some homework. After homework I had lunch and kind of walked around in my apartment not really knowing what to do. Hmmm . Maybe it would be a little more entertaining if I had a TV. HAHAHA YES I DON'T HAVE A TV. But it's weird because I normally never watch TV, only on rare occasions or to just watch a movie, yet ever since I've moved in I have a sudden urge to watch TV. Oh well I told myself during boxing week I will go out and buy a TV to compliment my newly furnished living room so I won't have to write a blogg on how I wish I owned a TV. So instead of that I read, I took a nap, cleaned and just had a me day. Felt good because I've been so busy lately I haven't had the time to just lay there and relax. So I guess today was a day well deserved! Another thing I realized when moving into my new place is that now I can focus more on photography. Now I have the time to read, to inform myself on different technics and get back into serious business. It just proves to what extent I need to pursue my dream and focus on what I really want to do. These past weeks I've been staling but now that I'm also closer to the city I can really take fashion photography and street photography to the limit. I've also came to realize that Montreal isn't such a bad place to live in! ( NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE) Yes the drivers are quite stressful and well I don't feel too integrated with the french side of Quebec but it is a nice place and let's just say I love walking in Vieux Port taking pictures, stopping for coffee and analysing people. It seems unreal sometimes, like a dream. Soon I'm hoping to go downtown sometime to just walk around and take some pictures and just enjoy one of Quebec's many cities. Now speaking of photography, yesterday I shot my friend in Laval for a ''Rocky kind of style shoot''. It was sooooo much fun because she is wild and daring! I was slowly getting my camera ready, I look up and see her climbing stuff acting crazy! Which is good! Not to mention she has a beautiful figure which is every photographers dream to photograph. We need models who move, who aren't scared and who look gorgeous in every shot. She was perfect, I loved her willingness in this whole project and it made me excited to develop the photographs and put them online. Here are some photos from the shoot, Enjoy,
Hey dudes! Okay so yesterday I wanted to blogg but we had some intense storm and my power went out. Yes I do have a laptop so basically it's wireless BUT my internet is connected via electricity which means no internet for me! Which means no going on blogster writing a blogg about the photos I took last night. WELL NO FEAR INTERNET IS NOW WORKING AND I CAN WRITE A BLOGG! Basically were half way into December and I'm still not in the christmas mood. Maybe because things have been bothering me lately but I'm moving into my apartment tomorrow and I'm hoping once this huge step becomes reality things will go a lot better and then I could try and get into the holiday spirit. Oh, BTW I will be getting an Iphone this week so watch out guys! Yes I have come to conclusion that Blackberrys really do suck, I have brought mine 7x in repairs and it's still breaking and it gets FRUSTRATING. Well... Also they don't have instagram XD yes I had to add that into my comments because it's probably the best app Iphone has. Anyways were going way far from my point is, I hope everyone is spending a great great December and is getting into the holiday spirit......At least I hope. So yesterday was not my day.. Like at all. REALLY NOT. But it kind of brought thought to my head and made me realize things I wouldn't of suspected. I still need time to think because I got badly hurt and I agree with the stupid saying ''Time will repair you'' and ''you will grow stronger'' ETC. I'm quotly (is that even a word) what my dad told me last night. I hate that when you feel like crap and you have people trying to pet talk you into feeling better but it makes you mad and you know all this stuff already it's just in the moment you don't want to hear kind of thing! But it does make sense so I guess I should put it out there because we do need time to digest every little thing that bothers us in life and then make the right decision on what's best for you. So anyways, to top off my bad day there was a huge storm in which it took my half an hour to take the snow and the freezing rain that covered that snow on my car. Then I got late for class, then on my break I got a bad call with a certain someone yelling and being a jerk, then I got my exam which I failed, then go to my next class, watch a intense creepy crappy scary intense x10000 movie that made me feel all weird, then receiving another failed exam, then going to dinner with a certain someone who basically you don't want to have dinner with and then feeling like shit not knowing what to do because of some event that occurred the night before. Oh and then home in my bed taking 2 extra strong advils and falling asleep. WINNER. hahah . What I'm trying to say is that no matter what we go through, things happen for a reason. Either you find who your true friends are, either you find out you're not in love with your significant other, either you realize who you are. ETC ETC. The list goes on and on but in my head I can't really think right now. It's just we all have bad days, but in the end it's that one person who takes that bad day and turns it into good, and for this time it's my sweet sweet father. Yes he wasn't there physically but he was there on the phone while I cried and told him all the crappy things that happened today and yet he soothed me and told me things will get better. Really who would of thought your own father would give the best solutions! He told me to just relax and think.... He gave me his opinion and things I should do and in the end he just told me to go back home and just take it easy, so I did! I got home and yes there was a huge ugly storm but oh my goodness the trees were all iced up and the darkness outside gave me this emotional love. I ran outside with my camera and tried to capture my emotion. It worked perfectly and this is the picture that represents me the most: Dark dark, sad, nervous, betrayed, tired. Yet with a light of beauty saying things will get better and that with time things will heal and that there's always a light after the storm. Enjoy,
