  1. Culture en péril (version longue)

    And on a related note, it is Canadian election time — a process that’s mercifully shorter than the one south of the border.

    Unless you’re Canadian, this video will probably make little sense, so here’s an explanation from the Regina Leader-Post:

  2. A (U.S.) Election Break

    We take a break from photography to bring you this Saturday Night Live sketch of Tina Fey spoofing Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler spoofing Hillary Clinton.

    I don’t miss TV in general, but I do miss watching Saturday Night Live. I love satire.


  3. Just Like Old Times, But With Better Editing

    the non-digital way of, um, shaping the face...

    Kristin flew in from London and I flew in from Toronto and for a short while during our overlapping trips it was just like old times in Vancouver, but with a lot more photographic equipment. Kristin mocked all the hardware covering the bar and took a photo of it for posterity.

    Meanwhile, I shot off a quick round of Eliza and Kristin before I went to the wedding but they didn’t like the look of the first shot I took, and took matters into their own hands. If I didn’t do any editing, they would probably kill me for posting this. I’m definitely working on better editing, though, not just better shooting, especially for (of?) the more glamorous amongst us.
