12x12: April

Ohhhh my god I am overwhelmingly behind on photos, it's a little anxiety-inducing. BUT here are my twelve shots from April. The colour ones are Kodak Portra & Fuji Instax; the black & white are Kodak TMax.

Jeff & Dad, when we had him and Sharon over for a dinner of risotto & halibut.

I did a maternity shoot with Madeleine; who was about six months along at the time. She did not want me to share nudes on the internet, but we shot some film and a handful of digital exposures, some of which turned out quite nicely.

The view from Madeleine's apartment.

Bo & Su in the backyard, where we spent the afternoon eating snacks and drinking booze and then retiring inside to watch the Purple Wedding episode of Game of Thrones, where we cheered & clutched each other in horror & joy.

Gregg looking like a cool dad.


Obviously I didn't actually take this photo of myself in my ridiculous gardening hat (Gregg did), but I like it too much not to share.
Family dinner! I always forget how much I miss Riley until he's in town and we laugh so much.

16/52

Dinner at my mom's with the family. Riley was in town from the Island, and it always takes him coming to visit to realise how much I miss him (we usually only see him 2-3 times a year). He and Jimm picked me up on the way back from the ferry in the afternoon, so we hung out for awhile just doing stuff around the house, which made me feel a little nostalgic for those after-school, before-dinner times when we were in high school.

Started reading the Lord of the Rings series for the first time since early high school; it was almost like reading them for the first time in that I'd forgotten the smaller details and wanted to do pretty much nothing except sit under the blanket with the book and some snacks.

25 December 12

I love my family. Christmas is one of my favourite days of the year because it's not too often I get to see everyone all at once. This year was a bit hard to face, with Alex gone and Alice still in Florida. But we're all still here for each other. Plus, you know, all-day drinking.

02 November 12

For Riley's birthday, my mom surprised him with a zombie paintball experience for him and 9 others. I didn't go, but they said it was really authentic and a total blast. Mom & I drank wine and watched The Girl Who Played With Fire instead.

29 August 12

We spent the day at Hollywood Studios. You can tell how hot it was by the fact that in this photo, all three of my brothers have visible patches of back sweat. However, riding the new and improved Star Tours ride made it all worth it, as well as our dinner at the Brown Derby.
A couple more photos from this day are here.

28 April 12

My brother Riley, at the Witch of Endor Pub for Alice's boozetastic goodbyefest with all her friends.

27 February 10

So apparently my brother is moving to Victoria? The first I heard about it was about a week before, when I got a facebook invite to his going-away party. I guess that's just another excuse for me to go to the Island :) It was a low-key (but loud) and entertaining party.
