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.

1. Getting my apartment sorted out after too many days of living in the mess created by repairs in part of the space.
2. Starting to read The World Without Us.
3. Having my hair cut shorter, but not yet as short as before.
4. Keeping up with my goal to write letters to send home every two weeks.
5. Dancing together around the living room to the lovely sounds of Beirut.
Taken with a holga “macro” - a holga with a close-up filter over the lens.
I have one of my Holga photographs in an online show at the Photomedia Centre: Holga Show 2.0. I had work accepted in 2006 as well, and I actually prefer the selection and presentation of that show to the current one. None the less, please check it out.
The Holga Show is our second annual show of fine art photography produced from toy cameras with plastic lenses, such as the Holga. Thirty-seven images by thirty-three artists were selected for exhibition from the entries received from our open call. Best of show honors were awarded to Tread, James Arnold, Nicolas Bellion, and Kelsey Jarboe.
And now I need to take my Holga for a spin. It has been awhile since I’ve shot anything with it. I blame the rain.
