The holiday season is upon us and a little #DoublecrossedDesk fun made sense for this month's Patreon & holiday mail. I'm under the weather but a little tree decorating, hot tea & rest is the name of the game today. Have a lovely one wherever you are. 🌟🎄🌰🧑🏻🎄
Some of the smallest prints in the Etsy shop are enclosed in signed 8"x10" acid-free mats and are ready to pop into any kind of standard store-bought 8x10 frame. Some things in life should be easy... life gifting some art.
Putting together the #DoublecrossedDesk zine was an odd and emotional exercise in looking at patterns and inspirations over a tumultuous decade of my life.
NEW Zine! ✨ In time for the fall, Issue 09 is ON THE WAY and it's a #DoublecrossedDesk retrospective. . After years of your nudges, I've finally done it. 10 years of desk images published in a special, larger 8x10 format so you can see all the details.
Had a great location shoot with @avi.c.engel last week, right here in the city (believe it or not). Wilderness and desert vibes all in a frame.🦗🌿 . Thank you @lakrause_studio for assisting! 🙏
Another pair from the Transience series for YZD Toronto.
“Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immutable.” - Charles Baudelaire . The first set for the Downsview "Transience" series.
New work reveal! Since the spring, I’ve been taking part in a Photography Residency for the innovators and dreamers YZD Downsview. As part of it, I’m exploring, capturing, and interpreting the former Downsview Airport lands now being redeveloped by Northcrest.
Tell me where the next stop without telling me the next stop.
Bedford, New Brunswick with this gem for breakfast and for the Buzzing Lights Project.
The great part about doing a driveaway trip (see @hittheroad.ca for your own) is hitting all the crazy little in-between places. #NewBrunswick has the world's largest axe, largest lobster, largest blueberry AND the world's longest covered bridge. Oh yes, we hit them alllll.
Welcome to Quebec, first stop, Orange Julep! 🍊💦✨ . 2nd last pack of #fujifilm #fp100c, shoot on a #polaroidlandcamera, and made digital with the #fujigfx50r.
L.M. Montgomery's handwriting. // Next week, we are driving out to the East coast to visit the patron saint of misfits, Anne of Green Gables. Those of you in Quebec City, Fredericton, Halifax and Charlottetown, please tell me all the things to eat, antiques to peruse and signs to photograph!
Last minute trip to the St. Jacobs farmers market for a chaotic whirlwind amidst fresh fruit and fried apples. The best moment of the day is this one though: The Strawberry Queen!
An image from my photo zine, "Meet me again at Coney Island," will greet you at @jackschowder in Vancouver this summer. Drop in and visit or pick up the whole zine at Doublecrossed.ca. ✨🐟❤️
Home & back online, dreaming up July's Patreon pkgs while trying not to trip over building materials. For this mid-summer mailout, I'm thinking cool nights and hot neons. It's an atmosphere that takes me to a good place in my head and in this chaotic year that's the energy I want to put into these.
An update on yet another postal situation for my Patreon snail mail club: www.patreon.com/posts/anothe...
Not quite one for my Buzzing Lights project, as the light is loooong gone, but a special relic of a time for Torontonians.
Night walk at the aquarium, better than a capsule in outer space.
This past weekend I locked myself in the darkroom for 10hrs and just printed. Made a bunch of good, bad, messy, and lovely sign prints for my Patreon subscribers. Will share a little behind-the-scenes here for those of you who've left Insta.
Took the #Hasselblad out during a brief moment of spring sunshine last week. Revisited some local signs to shoot something for April's Patreon packages.
Sunny walks as I try to recover a bit unsuccessfully. A moment with a sign that reminds me of past coffees with friends. Working on *square* ideas for my April quarterly Patreon mailouts. Stay tuned.
I met this nearly 100-year-old neon owl on a historic route into the Redwoods forest in northern California, still watching over passersby, as they made their way through forests of trees that are centuries older. Imagine the stories and wisdom they might all relay if they could.
The Impossible. // #Polaroid was one of the most innovative companies of the 20th cen. What its mastermind, Edwin Land, created, people simply referred to as magic, as it all seemed so impossible.(cont'd)
Theatre artist and masterful puppeteer, the adorable @adamfproulx. A winter shoot with as much colour as February can muster. We were thrilled to have him by my temp studio space for a quick shoot before he headed off to NYC. Break a leg, Adam!
