Inkwell Modern Handmade
Last Thursday I took some time to stop into the newest shop in town, Inkwell Modern Handmade Boutique & Letterpress Studio. The proprietor Andrea and I were first acquainted through the Letterpress Gang and I’ve had the opportunity to watch from afar as she built this business and shop from the ground up.
Inkwell sells all kinds of wonderful handmade cards, prints, textiles and other...

This week has been pretty interesting to say the least. I had a bit of a twitter discussion with Canadian comedian Gerry Dee about a design contest (read: crowd-sourcing/spec) he was trying to start over twitter. It has since been called off. I also attended an open house for a new local shop owned by a fellow letterpress lover (a full post on that to come!) and on Sunday I’ll be heading to...

Black and White and Summer all over.
As mentioned, I had a roll of black and white film being processed. I definitely have a big soft spot for black and white photography & I’m pretty happy with how this roll turned out (even with the light leak issue).

Curtis Rothney
Maybe it’s being a transplant from Winnipeg that gives Curtis Rothney a completely fresh photographic take on Halifax. Or maybe it’s because he’s not setting out to make photos of Halifax, but of skateboarding and skate culture. Either way, this 18 year-old (yep, I know) has a sick aesthetic and really knows his stuff when it comes to lighting - both natural and artificial. Below...

Light Leaks In
I’ve been shooting 35mm film with my Minolta x-700 for a year or so now and I’ve always been pretty happy with the results. This roll I was a little sad to see some pretty intense light leaks happening, so I’ll have to look into fixing it once the roll that’s currently in there is finished up.
I still have a b&w roll that I’m waiting on and I’m hoping that...

I decided to try a little something different for this week’s main image. I got doodling and this came out, so I brought it into Computerland and added a pretty background colour! Aside from that, it’s business as usual this week! I’m headed to a wedding on Cape Breton Island and I feel inspired to take lots of photos and appreciate the beauty in everything around me. Hope the...
