Put up the rest of my July photographs. Enjoying a nice long weekend, and the global warming heat wave seems to have let up for a while here in Winnipeg.

-----------------------------------------

07.29.06

put up some new photos today...(not many)... i haven't been shooting or designing much lately as my day job requires 8 hours of sitting in front of a computer everyday... so it's hard for me to want to get onto my own computer at the end of the day and update this site... (i guess that's no excuse for not taking photographs)..... i don't want to get carpal tunnel sydrome.

i am back from the great white north. the pictures to prove it are up (Yukon Ho) I spent three weeks in a small town called Faro which is 4 hours north east of Whitehorse, and a couple of days working in Ross River. I had an eight hour layover in Vancouver coming home, so I checked out the Vancouver Art Gallery which currently has an exhibit of Arthur Erickson's architecture and one floor devoted to Prefab Homes. I highly recommend it. Other Vancouver highlights include: this fabulous clothing store called Plenty on Robson Street , and the Lacoste store is pretty. It's nice to be home. I'm working for the dept of education for the summer editing textbooks for visually impaired children, and cycling to buff up my legs for my new short short bathing suit i bought in vancouver.

speaking of cycling and insanity... i got this right before heading to the yukon
