Quite True.
While driving from Dorset to Maynooth, we happened upon a tiny used "bookshop" on highway 60 in Algonquin Park. It was more like a little trailer (a treasure island to me, if you will ;), run by a tiny old lady that was also selling some knitted things. Everything was priced $1 or 50 cents, and there were a whole bunch of old children's books with excellent cover art (one of my very weak spots). I bought a whole pile and threw them into the back seat of the car.
Here is one of them:

Cottage Projects.
Getting back into photography and film projects. It feels right.
Actually this is my very first time shooting super 8. I have two cameras that I purchased from suburban thrift stores as a teenager in the 90s and never used them. Then a little while ago I discovered a roll of unused (and most likely very expired, though there is no date to be seen) film. It was time, after all this time!
As for the results, we shall see.

Zines saved my life.
Just for fun, I'm posting a few pages from my first zine, Benjurmire. I made it with a couple of friends, so I'm no longer sure who wrote what, but it amuses and impresses me what we came up with when we were fifteen!
Coincidentally, I went for a drive with a friend last night (as I found myself in the suburbs at the same time as she, both of us visiting family) and one of our stops was our old high school. Despite that time being a regular shitty/weird high school experience, it is where I was first exposed to zines and when I began making my own.
Regardless, I shook my fist at the building and she took a photo to commemorate the moment.

Field Trip: The Russian Avant-Garde
Finally got around to seeing the Chagall & The Russian Avant-Garde exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It wasn't spectacular, but there were a few highlights in the show, making it a (mostly) worthwhile visit...
One of my most favourite artists is El Lissitzky, so I was quite excited to see this piece, up close and in real life!
I must confess, seeing it resulted in a lot of smiling (inside and out) and wide-eyed gawking!
And Rodchenko, love love love his work as well:
There was also a separate and smaller exhibit being shown entitled Constructing Utopia: Books and Posters from Revolutionary Russia (1910-1940). This collection definitely contained more of the kind of work I was interested in seeing:
