Tonight I sat on my new-ish couch and watched “Let it Snow” and worked on the crochet baby blanket I’m making for a friend. AI can’t do that #IMakeStuff
Crochet project in progress: a complex white crochet cotton thread circular pattern, sitting on the arm of my light grey couch. The ball of thread and the 1.75mm crochet hook sit on top of the piece.

For the blanket do I go classic neutral with big texture element or pop of colour? (Both blankets made by my very talented younger sister.)
Light grey fabric couch with a slate grey knitted blanket. The blanket has large cables knit to look like braids running lengthwise. The same light grey fabric couch with a bright turquoise knitted blanket in the same position for comparison.

Worse, Better, or the Same?
March 2016
Black and white photo of a seven year old boy sitting in an examination chair at the optometrist’s office, most of his face obscured by the phoropter (I learned a new word today!) - the machine they use to determine the patient’s prescription for glasses. The boy is wearing a long sleeved t-shirt with a graphic of headphones on it.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7:
Have a Seat
Provence, August 2017
Black and white photo of a charming little metal chair on a sidewalk, the back adjacent to a wall. This chair was outside a small green grocer in the village of Maussane-les-Alpilles. As I took the photo I was imagining the store owner on a slow day sitting on the chair, watching the village goings-on, and fanning themselves in the heat of the Provençal summer.

Friend Christmas dinner this evening where we have to bring secret Santa Christmas ornament gifts. I made a couple of crochet snowflakes. Cute or cringe?

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5: Here Comes the Rain Again
English Bay, October 2019
Colour photo looking out to the horizon over the waters of English Bay, Vancouver BC. In the foreground right are a couple of freighters, one is lit up on one side by the low angle rays of sunset. Behind that at the top is an isolated dark grey/almost black cloud, dropping rain over the water. Behind that is the outline of Vancouver Island. The sky is mostly orange with a few clouds in the distance. The water is a dark navy blue. The horizon is a sharp, crisp line separating the dark water from the orange sky.

Aloha Oe
Waikiki, December 2024
Black and white photo taken from the ground looking up towards the crowns of a group of coconut palms on Waikiki Beach, Honolulu in December 2024. The palm fronds are backlit by the sun, against a clear sky. You can just see the bright sun, mostly obscured by the fronds of one of the trees.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3: Gallery
Vancouver Art Gallery, March 2025
Black and white photo taken from a second floor entrance to the Vancouver Art Gallery’s rotunda, looking across the open space to the other side. We can see the entrance to the space on the first floor, with people walking by and through. Stacked on top of that is an open balcony to the second floor. A person is standing in that balcony, and behind them we catch a glimpse of the artwork on display.

Black and white photo taken standing on the shore under a boardwalk/pier, looking through the wood pilings and support beams towards the horizon. In he background other islands can be seen as well as the flat horizon of the northwest Pacific. In the foreground you can see the wood structure is covered in barnacles, indicating I took the photo at low tide. Savary Island, June 2025

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1: almost forgot what with the travel and the lack of sleep and all.
Jet Set, July 2025
The Royal Canadian Air Force precision flying team, flying over the waters of English Bay, Vancouver BC, Canada. Nine jets fly in a triangle-shaped formation, a few of them streaming air show smoke behind them. Below them, the blue of the northern Pacific Ocean, behind them in the summer haze, the land masses of West Vancouver and Bowen Island layered into the distance. A few thin wisps of cloud in the sky above the jets. I heard them do a flyby (thunderously loud, they are), ran to get my camera and positioned myself on my balcony to capture them the next time they came around. They did not disappoint.

Well, Saskatoon, that was a fun 52 hours. Until next time, so long.
Black and white photo looking out a plane window on the ground at the Saskatoon airport. On the tarmac is a person in hi-vis safety gear with two bright flashlights. The person is bundled up against the roughly -20C temperature as we taxi towards the de-icing area before takeoff.

Lucky gate 13.
Black and white photo at night looking out the window from my seat aboard a flight to Saskatoon, on the ground in Vancouver before pushing away from the terminal. The terminal building is in the background, and luggage vehicles are lined up. A lit up sign at the end of the gate boasts the number 13.

Proof I was once adjacent to being cool. (That's me in the sunglasses and rust coloured shirt, with the razor scooter. 😂)
A photo from I think 2000 taken during shooting of the feature film "Bones" where I worked as a 3rd Assistant Director. A group of people stand in front of a burned/destroyed house and rubble on the sidewalk. Included in the photo are Merwin Mondesir, I think Kirby Morrow, Laura the producer's assistant, Khalil Kain, my friend Sara who was working as a Trainee Assistant Director, and a couple of other people whose names I don't recall. In the middle of the group of people is Snoop Dogg himself. I am the very white woman in the rust coloured shirt on a razor scooter holding production paperwork in one hand. The three white women in the photo look very much like they don't belong.

Post you from a different era.
Me as a baby trainee Assistant Director
set of X-Files, spring 1998.
A young white woman (me) with longish red hair sits in a director chair on a film set at North Shore Studios in North Vancouver, BC. I’m wearing black-framed glasses and an over-the-head style walkie headset. (Later that year I upgraded to a secret service- style in-ear headset model. I’m sitting awkwardly in the chair (because I wasn’t supposed to be sitting in it at all as such a junior position on the crew) and looking over my shoulder to camera. It was the end of the season and the show was moving to LA for season six so we were all messing around sitting in chairs and taking pictures we normally would not. The chair back has the X-Files logo. The blue sweatshirt I’m wearing was the crew gift at the end of season five.

From my office window just now.
Photo looking out a second story window over East Broadway in Vancouver, BC. Cars on the street at the beginning of rush hour, trees and houses, and above all soaring into the sky, a rainbow.
