Hi, my name is Rachael Ashe. I am a visual artist, currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I am a photographer and mixed-media artist. I work with everything from pinhole cameras to toy cameras, and film to digital.
My blog showcases some of my favourite works, and is an ongoing exploration of my development as an artist.

With it being Friday and all, I am really looking forward to the weekend, especially since there seems to be so much going on.
Tomorrow is Earth Day, and there are many events happening in the Vancouver area, such as Evergreen’s 7th Annual Celebration at Jericho Beach.
Saturday also kicks off BC Book and Magazine Week, with a variety of events to chose from for those who love to read and want to support local authors and publishers.
Here are two links to items I have enjoyed very much:
A twenty minute lecture by Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert that challenges the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. The link is courtesy of Hendrik:
A very inspiring series of photos by Zefram, as featured on File Magazine.
Into my life you came like a storm of monsoon banging down from the eastern sky.
And you scattered me, like the wind disperses dry grass and the petals of flowers.
Out of myself you scattered me into Nothingness,
Beyond the Nowhere, beyond the Beyond.
