look

by Billy Corgan
Draw a circle around
Such simple theater is pleasing
If you say "stay"
Here and now
And once in the again
Faces painted and children at the ready
Draw your swords
We're off, we're off

a rescue

Today

everyone was expected to meet at dundas square at 3 oclock,
bringing a few necessities and ready to spend spending the night
they had to meet here and abduct themselves into the camp



from there they would tie themselves together
and walk to Queens Park in a single file holding onto this rope

















finally, they would reach the LRA camp and set up "camp" and wait
to be rescued by an approved media outlet and a cultural or political leader.

The reason for all this was in hopes of raising awareness of the child soliders
whom are being abducted daily in Uganda by a rebel army called the Lords Resistance Army, led by Joseph Kony.

This all was done by Invisible Children organization, personally my favourite group

for more of their great work check out their website.







hope you had a great day

a dress

I'm so happy!

I've had this one dress, for almost 2 years that I bought for 5$
it was loose, bulky and a little strange
and no matter how many times people told me to throw it away
I could never actually do it because
I thought something good would come out of it one day

with the help of my extremely talented aunt
(and seamstress mentor)
we were able to transform it!



okay so what if the before picture
is actually the after one just painted on,
for some reason
the before picture just wasn't opening
to full size so I copied it
as best as I could :)

My mind is running with ideas for future projects,
I'm excited

On another note,
I'm so excited to see these two upcoming movies

"Earth"
(with my favourite song by sigur ros)


and

"Where the wild things are"



(I won't even get started on the next Harry Potter)


anyways
thats all!

roe in film

A while back, me and a friend had taken a few shots
as I described in the post "a pocket"
me and a friend Roenna took a few shots

sort of a 50's/60's theme

while I was there, I also took some shots in film
and I've finally received the prints back from my teacher not too long ago

I think they turned out nicely!

An update

what a long week it's been
a few days ago I met with an old friend, Cynthia O.
and we ventured off and ended up here







and took a few shots









we ended up walking home through a gigantic forest
and let our imagination run.

_________

on another note, I recently got a new toy!



I think it works really nicely,



but I've been thinking lately
as much as I love my camera and how great its been to me
maybe I should move onto something more compact
I don't know,
I think I would have to look into this a bit better
before spending my future savings on nothingness.

Also!
I'm hearing great things about this upcoming summer
What I know is that I'll be meeting
my cousin and great friend Rafaela in Bordeaux
and from there who knows :)



+ I'm still lovin angus
