when leaves tickle my arms i can't help but let my mouth sing.

yet another day in Prospect Park.

(and a gift a purchased for my roomie, Joy, for her exposed brick).

(and one of my fave songs by one of my fave bands).

in the middle of the night. in the middle of the night i call your name.

some recent shots with my new camera. colour, colour, colour. clear enough that i'm a fan of colour?

my brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo.

my ode to buffalo plaid... or some might refer to it as a lumberjack check. an ever-existent part of the Canadian uniform and currently a hipster staple. i've always been a plaid wearer (and a Canadian, at that) and red has always been a constant in my wardrobe. so needless to say, this glorious check finds it's way in often! but this wonderful woven has come a long way from your classic button-up flannel. oh yes it has. look at all these variations!

(yes, this is a tad creepy. but, hey, it illustrates my point!)

(the new Canadian look sold at Roots Canada... most likely in preparation of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics).

(Pendleton for Opening Ceremony. i die).

(Ann-Sofie Back's totally fresh take on Buffalo Plaid. from the Opening Ceremony website).

(Ralph Lauren Fall 2008. not usually a huge fan but this stuff is fantastic).

(a Lookbook.nu member's take on the plaid).

(so as a complete generalization, i'm not usually impressed by the way people dress in Vancouver, but i found this shot on a Vancouver blog: StyleQuotient.ca. damnnn she's cute!)

(always subtle Susie Bubble from StyleBubble.co.uk).

(my roommate, Joy, who always look fab, even in this pic which was taken like 4 years ago! still a great look!)

(a more classic take brought to you by Todd, myself, and Erik!)

that, my friends, concludes my ode to buffalo plaid.

naked city spleen.

here's an amazing video my dad sent me about an incredible and gutsy, young photographer. take a look!

he must have thought of me when watching it because i explored an old abandoned warehouse/factory of some sort in Rutherford, New Jersey back in November. here are a couple of the photos i took (not nearly of the same caliber but i was pretty proud of them!):
