so much for everyone

I miss the rewarding gaze
of a friend from my younger days
didn't mind about my selfish ways
as she died I was miles away

I'm still not done with my Quebec photos. Wandering around in the snow all weekend, there were countless opportunities & I pulled out my camera for pretty much every one. Here's another from Vieux Quebec. Icicles, pretty little lights, & furry jackets - sounds like winter to me.

I was in Saint John for the weekend visiting the boy ( a great valentines day present from him) so I'm once again behind this week. Thankfully, I'm pretty lax with my rules for this project. I've got yet another photo from Quebec City. There were far too many wonderful things to capture. One of my favourite things was sitting by the fire with my beau, drinking caribou in ice glasses. It was such a fun atmosphere & we were surrounded by people enjoying themselves & the carnaval festivities. So, here it is, one of my favourite parts of carnaval: ice cups filled with caribou.

next, please

You know those signs, "Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either"? Well, I feel like I keep whacking into one after another lately.

Another week, another photo. I got a lot of great shots in Quebec City. I'm excited to really go through & edit them all! There will be quite a few more photos from this trip I'm sure. Wandering around the Old Town, I just loved these Maple Syrup buckets outside Le Cochon Dingue, filled with berries & pine needles. Here's my favourite shot of them.

I'm a little behind with this week's post since I was in Quebec City still until late Monday. Thankfully for Quebec City, I have a bunch of photos that don't involve myself to edit. Here's just one from my weekend at Carnaval. I love Bonhomme!

You're so vain. You probably think this song is about you. 

So, I know lately almost all of my photos have been EXTREMELY narcissistic. & yeah, I do take a lot of selfers, but my winter photography has been pretty dull lately. Between work & my huge class homework load & about a million other things I've got on my plate right now, I just haven't had time for a good photo sess. That, & I'm longing for a really nice lens & for apple to fix my external hard drive. Seeing as I don't have the money for the first & I don't have the time (2 more weeks, baby) for the second, I've got every excuse under the sun for my pathetic photographic attempts of late. Quebec city is next weekend, so I'll hopefully get some shots I'm happy with then.

My photo this week is flannely again (sorry it's been cold again!). I like this series of photos a lot, but the lighting really bugs me. It's bringing my need for some better editing software to my attention. I really don't like over edited photos very much & I don't want something stolen off the internet, so I'm biding my time until I can afford what I really want. Until then, I'll have to suck it up. & take technically better photos. Maybe avoid giant light sources in the background...

Now that I've totally torn my choice to shreds, here you go! (In the end, I still really love this photo. Flaws & all!)
