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)!

Gross-out!
Grand Bend Winter Carnival. These two girls - Cassie Kirkwood and Jaimee Wells - aka "the Munchkins" - got a faceful of fun when they let their partners' arms do the work (hint: someone else is hiding under the blanket behind them). That's lipstick on the left and cottage cheese on the right.

True Romance
Tim Hoffman and Cathy Costello got married today on a 20' snow cake in a parking lot during Grand Bend's 2009 Winter Carnival. Sounds like an odd way to do things, but it was actually touching, and I'm really happy for these two. Congratulations!

Love-Hate Relationship
Toffee and Shay-Z. It's fun to watch these guys playing; sometimes it looks like they're ready to kill each other. Luckily for us, they get along quite well.

Like mother, like daughter
Toffee and her mom Shay-Z. They look different, but they're very much alike. Far too adorable for their own good, or mine.

Pre-Valentine Inauguration
Shay-Z. We got another chihuahua today, and she is completely lovable. She's actually Toffee's mom, and we are extremely pleased to welcome her home. She seems to like it, too!

Shot in the Dark
I'm dedicating this photo to Matthew Jaques, whose birthday is today. He used to work at the Starlite Drive-In in Grand Bend, but this is the Sobey's Drive-In to launch the 2009 Grand Bend Winter Carnival. Shot this in the dark with existing light from a projector showing Madagascar 2.

Keeping an Eye on China
Casey Lessard. Apparently Penguin is the new Lacoste. The folks at Grüv in Stratford, where I shop, have known that for ages. Love that place. Anyway, I'm very tired after another week on the road. Anjhela made excellent stuffed peppers tonight, so yes, I did get to eat.
