Comment on Letter To An Ex-Girlfriend: Bronwen by shabs

my heart goes out 2 u. i`m in a committed relationship where there is more love than anything physical. we have bin dating 4 4 years and even we have ups and downs like any other couple we have communicate all the time. i know that there is somebody 4 evry1. i know jeff that there is a special person out there 4 u. i`m sorry i dnt know u at all but ur blog really touched me as i had that feeling wen i was single. the funny thing is that even if we (me and my other half) leave each other we`d b asking 4 forgiveness within minutes if not seconds coz we can`t live without each other. u were saying that there r a lot of people who only think about themselves in the world before other people, those people don`t have a heart. life goes on and we have to get on with our lives and help people wen they need it.

@Pearl — A whole weekend of haikus? And haikus are only 18 syllables long…must make for a very diverse set of poems.

@loo — I don’t think I’ve ever seen that fountain in all my years here. Then again, there’s a lot of Ottawa I haven’t seen yet. I’ll be sure to check it out the next time I’m in the area (and bring my camera).

@Lucy — Actually, I’m not into body art so much. Tattoos for me are more reminders than expressions of myself. Not that I don’t appreciate them on other people (even though I find there are more stupid than decent ones out there).

Three years is quite a long time in making a decision, longer than it took me, and I thought I waited forever! You’ll have to send me a picture. I’m curious to see the results of such a heavy decision.

Tattoo appointment? Interesting…..somehow I didn’t think you would be the type to venture into the world of body art. It took me three years to finally decide to get inked and when I did the adrenaline rush I got was awesome!

That last photo makes me miss my condo in the market SO much; the walks after work( with good music to drown out the vagrants) and early saturday morning walks for fresh fruit and veg. Mmmm and it makes me miss the spider roll and edamame at Kinky.

Check out my favorite fountain if you have time, it was a little bit of a walk from my place on Clarence, but so worth the little trek. If you drive down Laurier heading east past King Edward, to the end where it bends towards the left and turns into Charlotte (you’ll notice the Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute on the left and the most spectacular fountain in the city on the right. Go at night, they light it up beautifully. I think its in a park called Strathcona Park.

Not that you need anything more to keep you busy.

I’m grateful for the swing into the gap this time. I need to rest up before Haiku Canada weekend at Carleton U.

Comment on Love is a Rebellious Bird by Jeff

I read Le Petit Prince in French class for grade 10, though I don’t remember much of it. Only bits and pieces, like the drawing of Le Petit Prince himself and a snake swallowing an elephant.

The first time I learned the words to the aria was when I saw Magnolia. None of it clicked in though. Not until recently, at least, eight years after I watched it at the Rideau Centre during my first year of university.

Just the word “apprivoiser” speaks such volumes. Looking at the english translation leaves something to be desired, though if you don’t speak french fluently, you’d never know. It is one of my favorite words. If you ever get a chance to read through Le Petit Prince in the chapter where the little prince speaks to the fox (chapter XXI, i think), you’ll see where from an early age the word found its way into my heart.

I remember studying that aria in school and thinking at the tender age of 13 that i understood it. Because, afterall i had a boyfriend… so then i knew of love(pfft). Now 15 years later i’m certain i didn’t then, and i’m not even sure i do now. But i understand myself a lot more and so i recognize my kind of love in the words.

Thanks for bringing it back to my attention(o=

@Sophia — I find black and white to be difficult to work with actually. There’s so much to it, and no set of guidelines I can follow for consistent results. It makes me want to take a black and white course. It terms of the evenness of tone though, a flash does make a big difference.

@loo — I generally don’t coach people, because I prefer candid shots. Occasionally, if someone has absolutely no idea what to do, I’ll give them a bit of advice on how I want to see them, and hopefully they take it from there.

i love how he’s holding her in the first b&w and how she was biting his lip in an earlier photo.

I wonder, do you coach or talk to the people you take pictures of, as you capture them?
