Tonight is the opening of the Pre-Shrunk show at Argyle Fine Art (1559 Barrington St., 7pm). The premise is pretty cool:

…200 works to choose from by a large selection of artists working in a variety of mediums. All of the works measure 4”x5” and sell for $175.

Argyle Fine Art has released the entire collection online so that patrons can view early and scout out the pieces they’d like to buy.

Of course, I did a little bit of window shopping myself. You can see my picks below.

Weird thing of the week: Hidden Mothers

It’s been a long week. A long week full of learning in The School of Life. I feel like “Life Lessons” may be a defining thing for me this year. I’m thinking of devoting a separate post to that topic, so I’ll say no more.

On a lighter note, it’s Friday! Whee! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

PS: I’m trying a new thing to make these a bit more visual. I’ve seen lots of other lovely blogs do a little photo montage as part of the weekly wrap-up and I think it helps give the post some life. Hope you like!

I’ve teamed up with my friends Matt and Josh to build Huurd. Right now it’s still in the planning/designing/building stage, so all I can tell you is that when it’s launched, it’ll help the creative minds of Halifax (and perhaps beyond) come together.

If you want to know more than that you’ll have to wait, but you can sign up for updates and we’ll keep you in the loop!

This week was a big week for me. I’m making a change career-wise; switching jobs just before the Christmas holiday. I’ll be taking on a new opportunity that’s quite nerve-wracking, but I have a good feeling about it. Nothing like a challenge to start the new year off right.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself, though. There’s still a bit of time until the end of the year. At this point I’m happy to have made it to the weekend! Looking forward to going to chop down a tree and spend time with family & friends. I love this time of year!

Some photos I took this fall using Ilford film. I’d it’s my favorite for b&w.

I photographed Anne for her blog a while back. She’s shuch a lovely lady and her cooking is amazing. I sampled a gingerbread cake and a delicious quinoa and beet salad on the day I took these photos. On top of that, as I was about to finish up, she decided to make some homemade granola! It’s clear her passion is cooking and baking for her family. Everything tastes like it was made with a little extra dash of love.

Apple picking with my beautiful mother:

Well hello! So perhaps it has been a while since I’ve done a weekly roundup, but I choose not to dwell on that. Let’s focus on the fact that it’s Friday and the freedom of Saturday and Sunday are a mere few hours away. I hope that you all have a lovely weekend. On to the goodies!

I’m a huge fan of the concepts that everynone uses video to portray. Spot on. Also, their name! It’s one of those things I wish I had come up with. Check out three of my favorite pieces below:
