Family Road Trips

December 5, 2012

For as long as I can remember, our family vacations were spent in cars, journeying across Western Canada and the US. Trips to Airdrie, Banff, Drumheller and Edmonton became monthly rituals. We found every excuse to get in the car and just ride. I remember weekly trips to Mackay’s Ice Cream in Cochraine after Sunday […]

All you need is love

My fortune during tonight’s Chinese take-out dinner at my brother’s house. It about sums up all that’s important in life.

Photo of the Day: A Kiss in London’s Hoxton Square Bar

October 31, 2011

Some walls are just too beautiful to photograph bare. Sometimes, you need subjects that can make a statement, subjects that can bring a wall to life. This was taken in Hoxton Square Bar, a treasure of a place in one of London’s trendiest post codes.  Vaulted ceilings, dimmed cave-like lighting, industrial walls and floors.  It’s […]

Book Review: Love London by Barbara Chandler

September 3, 2011

It’s a hot September Saturday in the “capital of the world” and in just a few days, I’ll be bidding farewell and boarding a plane back stateside.

Photo of the Day: Shoreditch Cool

August 12, 2011

A friend once told me that you can live a thousand lives in London and still not discover every nook and cranny of the place. Sure enough, I was reminded of this a few days ago after a work meeting when we wandered into Shoreditch, a too-cool-for-me neighborhood in East London. There’s a new, industrial, […]

Photo of the Day: Muses and Walls

August 9, 2011

I’m in London for the next few weeks and it feels like deja vu from last summer. August in this crazy city I used to call home. It feels different these days; a stronger hint of violence in the air, a little more crowded and chaotic, people less available and more hurried than before. It […]

Photo of the Day: Istanbul

July 30, 2011

When I first moved to Europe, my first “exotic” trip outside of London was to Istanbul. It is one of the most enchanting cities I’ve visited, with its beautiful mosques and towering minarets. I remembering staying at the Swissotel Istanbul and being spoiled with Turkish delights every single night with a view of the Bosphorus […]

Photo of the Day: Texture in Macau

July 11, 2011

I know, I know, it’s Macau again, but seriously, the city is a treasure trove of gorgeous photographs. It is blessed with the most beautiful, paint chipped, sun damaged, rotten walls. Buildings have a texture here. You can almost describe them as crunchy.  Crusted, chipped and dry, they are beautiful in any light. If this […]
