Canvas to the Imagination

Taken in the pond at Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden.

Looking for things to do this weekend? How about either of these:
Dusk Dances in Stanley Park
Aeriosa Dance Company at the Main Branch Library. (Scroll down for details)

Thanks to Siobhan for the heads up about Dusk Dances. I used to look forward to their performances in Toronto every summer and had no idea they were in town.

The rest of my 52 weeks set on flickr.

Sometimes it is a struggle to take a self portrait every week. Most of the time I don’t really feel like taking my own photo, and then there is the lack of inspiration… I really want to use this project as a means for producing a body of my best work and not just do a quick one off to fulfill the weekly obligation.

For week ten procrastination got the better of me and I left things to the last minute. I was also really uninspired. Then I bought myself a bouquet of peonies and decided to use them as the focus of the shot. The original version was quite a technically weak shot, with bad lighting and me looking very tired. Thanks to photoshop and the final touch of a free texture from NinianLif on flickr, I came up with an image I like a lot.
