Procrastinatory Panoramic X-Rays


I have an interview in Vancouver tomorrow, so naturally rather than prepping for it, I'm screwing around with whatever interesting crap I can find around the house. We dug up a recent panoramic X-ray Anita had done as part of her TMJ diagnosis, and I scanned it for the heck of it. The film is huge, and my scanner doesn't do larger than medium format, so this is cropped significantly (I actually scanned it in batches and stitched them together).

Okay, I guess I should actually do some packing and prep work now. Wish me luck!

Life Drawing at Harcourt House

My latest visit to the Life Drawing session at Harcourt House in Edmonton. First time I experimented with a mixture of pentel ink brush and chalk pastels. I really like those results. I also like the look and feel of the recycled brown paper I used this time.

Media: Pentel Ink Brush pen, Chalk Pastels, 2H and 2B pencils, Papermate Ballpoint blue pen, and Copic Markers.

B+W Shadow Play

These are a few photos I shot and then gave the black and white treatment to. I Like the interplay of light and shadows in them. Click to view the large versions.

Clipped Wing


It's been a while since I've added to the dead bird diaries series, so here we are. This broken wing of a pigeon was seen atop the city walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Work has been super busy as of late, and I feel like I have about as much life in me as this poor bird. Luckily, we have about 26 more days to slog through before heading to Portugal for a short holiday. I can't wait...
