Spend a lot of time on the road getting from point A to B a lot of wasted time, which I try to fill as much as possible. Currently on the way home from work feeling like shit on the bus planning a few shoots for the upcoming weeks only downside currently working 7days a week T_T thankfully thats almost over and I can start shooting again whoot! In the mean time here's a screen capture of a Sweet Potato Sheppards Pie I'm currently editing and the shell of a dead animal..........zai jiang (is that right ? Cant remember :) )

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update/post
Had an amazing day doing a fashion shoot for fashion designer Natasha Sakhuja for her upcoming website. I originally met her through a friend last year during her fashion show "and it tasted like bitter almonds" *find post at the right* so us getting together to shoot has been a long time coming. Anyways check out a quick edit of one of my favorite captures of the day and be sure to stay tune for the full set and check out her Facebook page HERE

P.s  For those that are wondering what about food shoots? They're coming just waiting on my new tripod to be delivered, I received the ball head already now for the actually tripod....yipeee for horizontal cross bars no more standing on my couch :)

Upcoming Shoots:
September  24th: Food-Sweet potato Sheppards Pie
October 1st: Wedding-Toronto?  *Assisting a friend

A.Y.C.E Sushi Death

A new sushi place opened up in my area around Dufferian and Finch called Kaze Sushi so of course I called up my sushi explorer Ashley "Tofu" from "popgoestheflash" and we checked it out.

This place is pretty awesome compared to the other A.Y.C.E places we tried out like Aji Sai although aji sai has better decour although I could care less since it's the food I'm paying for not wall to wall mirrors.....anyways the staff are all really nice and attentive and they have a fairly large menu.

If your ever in the area check it out its only $11.99 for lunch 12-3 and they currently have a 10% promotion running since it's their grand opening.

Not too sure how long it will last in that area since most places @ that plaza turns around pretty quickly but heres hoping it last!

Baiii

P.s we ordered way to much food the second round and were in a sushi coma for a while started walking and took a 20min break sitting between parked cars and set out a s.o.s on fb for a ride no one answered so i walked home :c lol

P.s.s Got a call from my boss while i was taking a nap and answered talking about sushi...thats going to be a interesting topic tomorrow lol

Experimenting

A few things today: 

1. Shot Chocolate Macarons

2.Started playing around with text

3.Got my delivery of Vanilla Beans from France finally...(long story short cheaper on ebay then any store in Toronto, but there was a postal strike)

4.Got my new business card sample pack from MOO printer profiles a bit off need to adjust colour and change images

5.A few DIY  projects are going to start happening soon some of which are a camera slider and a soft box for my SB-900. Will be pretty easy once I round up supplies.
6.Started up a Vimeo (sp?) account the ex film student in me is starting to emerge *Kid Pix Voice* "OH NOOO!".....and yeah I think thats all for now -__-

Too warm in my place filling started to get soft :( 

Still taste good though :)

Macaron recipes pretty much all follow the same recipe give or take various flavours and colour this is the one I used this time but I aged my egg whites for around 3 or 4 days and used a different filling recipe the ends up pretty much the same. Also yeah there will be spelling, grammer and all sorts of errors in that recipe didn't really prof read....me no like english ^_^

Vanilla Beans smell so good! 

The tapes just there to hide my address because that's just dangerous lol 

A few of the sample cards. I can't figure out how to rotate at the moment :(

Currently editing: Raspberry Souffle

Well hello again wink wink nudge nudge.......
I've been told several times this week that I'm weird and to that I say weird or totally awesome!?.....
Seriously though yesterday I made a Raspberry Souffle whoot whoot! Way to hot to be in my kitchen though had a headache for like 5 hours pretty sure thats not normal...so the plan for this week was to do a shoot a day this week being themed desserts but today my brother took over my studio a.k.a my living room and refused to move because god forbid he couldn't go a day without playing Call of Duty on the big screen, dude shouldn't you be in summer school by the way? lol and I also got a call to go to North Campus tomorrow as well so not a lot of time to shot and make everything is there? It also doesn't help that some of the things I was planning to make was a: Raspberry Silk Cake, French Macarons, Ferrero Rocher Tarts and others....can't I ever just make cookies or something? ^_^

Yeah so here's one of the shots I'm currently editing so yeahhhh........

Never to young

You can never be to young nor to old to take up an interest in photography as was proven on a recent trip too Yangshuo, China where we had the opportunity thanks to Olympus to teach a few elementary school children how to use a camera. The children were given the cameras to take home for a weekend to document their everyday lives and surroundings including towns that aren't so easily accessible to travellers due to distance and time to get there. Not only were the children able to learn photography but their photographs will also be featured in our May 2012 gallery exhibit during Toronto's Contact festival! Stay tuned for more info & photo's in the mean while here are a few photos of the children and a sneak peak of one of their photographs ^-^

This is Samuel say Hi!...okay now that you introduced yourselves I'll introduce him ^_^ This is Samuel and he's 7 yrs old (if I remember correctly...) he's also a very humble person always saying thank you! He's a secret Canadian at heart lol Anyways me, Ashley D.,& Amanda M. had the pleasure of working with Samuel during our trip and for that we say Thank You ^_^ 

This photograph is one of many that Samuel had taken during his free time and will be featured in the upcoming gallery show; however, if this is the final edit of the photo only time will tell and your visit to the gallery! ^_^
