All That I Am

This week, I have been participating in Vivienne McMaster’s Re-writing The Story ecourse.

It has been quite an adventure taking self-portraits this week, and I wanted to share my favorite one with you.

I had put a fair bit of thought into this for a long time. Long before this course even started. I had been eyeing this location for months and months.

I went yesterday prepared to make this image the best I possibly could. I wanted it to look like different sides of me, so I brought 3 extra shirts with me. All different colours. And then, I played.

For anyone wondering, I used my camera and tripod. All in the same spot. The pictures were taken using my remote. Then, once I got home and uploaded them, I followed this tutorial. The hardest part of the process was actually taking the pictures.

You can follow my progress in the course, and see all of my shots here.

The Soft Inside Of Darkness

A glimmer of light

A beacon of hope

A happy place

A soft place

From deep inside of darkness

I Started To Fade Away

I stumbled into taking self-portraits just over a year ago now.

It has been an amazing journey for me. One that has really just begun…

It is less about the pictures, and more about the self confidence that is devoping along the way.

Seeing really is believing.

You can see more of my self-portraits here and here.

When I Say Blue, You Say Jays

Anyone who knows me, knows I love baseball. They also know I love the Blue Jays.

I always have, and I always will.

Some years, I get into it more than others. This year seems to be one of them.

They Jays are a young team, full of potential. And with the new balanced schedule, the Jays are seeing a better variety of teams. It reminds me of the way the game was played when I was a kid. Add to that, an additional wild card spot, and it makes for an interesting ball season.

Of course, the gorgeous new uniforms really help too. How can you not LOVE that blue?

Last night I was in Toronto to see the Jays game. My first of the year, and hopefully the first of many.

Although the Orioles won, 7-5, it was a great game!

Before going to my seat, I stopped along the third base line. It was a great opportunity to catch a few shots of the team!
