Blog: October 2008

It was both a challenge and a fun experience to do this shoot. We had a beautiful character apartment in a heritage building as our location, but the biggest challenge was having to be in crammed quarters. Good thing I'm short and I only had one umbrella, I managed to squeeze my way around and take these shots.

We ventured into the staircase as well, which was a great idea, except for the tenants walking by wondering what the bright flashes were all about. We even did a few shots in the bathroom - though it had to be the tiniest room I ever shot in (if I even consider myself "in" the bathroom for that shot. I'm clearly outside the doorway and shooting at a very wide angle!)

Thanks to aspiring model Kate, and the lovely Marcie for allowing us to use her apartment (and modeling too!). Andrea Pelletier's designs can be seen at a fashion show this coming Sunday evening at the Graffiti Gallery. Should be fun!

Now that we're in a new neighbourhood, and it's been a lovely season so far, Chad and I have been taking advantage of the many sights and sounds of our little community. And on one Friday evening, we took in the many tastes of the area as well. Warm and close enough to walk, we took to the sidewalk and meandered over to Bonfire Bistro, a tiny restaurant featuring wood fire oven baked gourmet pizzas. Chad had the roasted vegetable and I had the shrimp pesto. I must say - it was fabulous. (both the randonnée, and the dinner... and the company!)
