Beaches in Colour

Before 2008 I only vaguely knew of the Beaches. This year seems like it's going to be the year of the Beaches trips!

Here is a small collection of colour photos from (surprise!) the Beaches. 

The first ones were taken when I went there with the Boy on a terrifically hot day. I tried out the Lomography Colour Negative 100 film which is why they look like they may have been dipped in nostalgia.

The others are from last week when I met up with Merley for photo times, which were cut a bit short because I ran out of film and had failed to bring along an extra roll. Boo. I used Fuji Superia 400, which used to be my favourite until I saw the results of the Lomo film.

B&W Self

I recently chopped off more than 70% of my hair and have, overall, been feeling pretty good about myself (physically.) I've also taken to only shaving when I feel like it (if at all) which is amazingly liberating!

Here are some selfies I took for the hell of it.

Year End

Today, I finished my first (and possibly last) 365 Project. If you don't know, this project requires a photo a day for three hundred and sixty-five consecutive days. It sounds easy -- I know I thought it was -- but certain days it's a real chore because sometimes you don't feel like taking a fantastic photo.

Regardless, I got it done and I consider it a pretty great feat because this was the hardest year of my life and though my life/troubles have not improved as much as I hoped they would I do see change for the better, finally, and that's a pretty big deal.

I'd like to share some of my favourite shots and some shots I'm proud of from this project. They are a mix of digital, iPhone and film.
