last days of summer with claire

listen to: L.E.S artistes by santigold and sweet emotion by the kooks.

this is claire, of detention agency. she's a sweetheart and i loved shooting her. we talked about school and aspirations, bad jobs, and pretty couches. we got together on south granville one day and took some photos. here are some of my favorites.

that's all folks.

sydney and the bends

listen to: i've got your number by elbow and did i make you cry on christmas day by sufjan stevens

there was a point when i wanted my art up in a show. i wanted my friends to see my babes plasters up on walls like the masterpieces the girls are. i thought that was what success was. a friend of mine directed me to sydney, saying that if i wanted to put on a show in this city, she was the girl to talk to. luckily sydney talked some sense into me and gave some advice that i still hold dear and im honestly so thankful for that.

anyway, i went over to sydneys place a few weeks ago and we took some photos. im happy with how they turned out.

 

she's the kimono queen and she's cool as heck. i'm seriously contemplating shaving my head now to be honest.

till next time,
