His and Hers
Anjhela Michielsen. This is the same suit I wore to last week's 70s party. If the suit fits...

The Reflected Self
This is what it is like to look through my Crown Graphic 4x5 camera. This photo was inspired by the work of Lana Slezic, an amazing photographer and fellow Loyalist College graduate who works in Afghanistan.

Black and Blue
One of only a handful of topless photos on this blog. I'm sure my hot bod will draw lots of visitors!
If you'd rather see yourself topless on here, let me know.

The Magic Treat
Make your party pop in a jiffy with Jiffy Pop! This party was popping; as you can see from the reactions on people's faces, the Jiffy wasn't so spiffy. Doesn't help that it had expired a year ago. It was a great party, so thank you to Lina and Greg!

Constrict Her Boa
Anjhela Michielsen. This was supposed to be a fashion shoot, but we couldn't find anything to match the boa. Too bad, huh?

The Godfather
Gino Costello. "They call me the Godfather," Costello, who hails from Calabrese, Italy, says after I stop him on Richmond Street in London this afternoon. "They say I could pass for Marlon Brando because of the way I dress." Costello is on his way to drop a sub off to a colleague at Poacher's Arms, where he cleans floors. "This is the way I dress when I do the floors," he says, " because I deal with the public."

Wall of Mirrors
Michael Jackson once said he was "starting with the man in the mirror." But where does it end, Michael? Where does it end?
Speaking of which, happy birthday to my uncle Robert Peter!

Breaking Through
Anjhela Michielsen. Got a request to do an art show today, which was one of the goals of this project. I'll have more details when it starts to come together, but it's certainly a breakthrough for me!

My New Toy
Shay-Z. Got my new camera today after the other one basically imploded. This is one of the first photos with the Canon 50D (which is a dream, by the way), and features fashion by Joanne Price, who knitted this sweater for Shay-Z; mom delivered it today, so thank you to Joanne - it looks great!

Twiggy Tribute
Rachel Michielsen as Twiggy. This is our twist on the Barry Lategan photo (see uncropped version here), inspired by the fact that Rachel cut her hair Twiggy short. You'll note the white spot at the top: I must have burnt out one of the other shots in my six-pack Grafmatic, and it bled through to the others. This is the most unaffected negative, and it also happened to be my favourite photo of the group.

Little Black Dress
Hannah Michielsen. My camera died today. Seriously dead. After four years of hard service, I will miss my 20D. But can I afford to buy a new one? I can't afford to be without one. Thankfully, my trusty backup from 2002 is filling in the blanks nicely. Thank you, D30!

Renewed passion
Anjhela Michielsen. This is one of the first photos I took with my new old camera, a Crown Graphic from the early 1960s. Hope you love the results as much as I do. You should see the negatives (yes, shot on film that I hand processed in the bathtub)!
