it's quiet around here- and it's gonna be for a bit.
IPP*s are due soon... and I've officially locked myself in an editing room for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime enjoy following my adventures on instagram. (it's the only thing i have time to update).
Until we meet again.

*if you get board and want to listen to some good music while you wait...
You know you live in the prairies when weather dictates your life. This past weekend I ended up coming home early from a weekend away because the weather looked to not be friendly and I didn't want to get stuck out south of the boarder when it hit. *(nothing against the States... I just like being at home when I get snowed in.)
I'm not always a fan of the when white stuff begins to fall, but when it is as beautiful as it was this past weekend... what else can you do but take out your camera, go for a walk, and revel in the fact that getting snowed in isn't always that bad.
I'm nearing the end of the semester of school- with only a few weeks left people are always encouraging me, stressing the fact that "I can do it!", that when grad comes I can do anything I want. The reality is those are dangerous words for me because, well... I WANT to do EVERYTHING! And as hard as I try, there never seem to be enough hours in the day to do all that I want to do.
Believe me- I've tried... and it's to the point where people ask me if I even sleep anymore- ha.
I can assure you I do sleep, but there is just sooo much I would rather be doing! I want to finish school (and finish it well... not just say I survived it), I want to take more photos, do more running, spend more time in the kitchen, hang out with my friends and family more, spend time being creative, spend time laughing, spend time having good-deep and meaningful conversations over an exceptional cup of coffee... I want to make better coffee, get away and travel somewhere, spend more time at home, spend more time designing things, spend less time sitting on my bottom, spend more time reading, spend more time crocheting, spend time overhauling this blog, spend time walking the trails in the woods, spend time jumping off of cliffs, or sitting in a canoe on a lake. All of these things I can do... but it seems that my biggest hold up is that I CAN'T do everything.
Some days I get a chance to do a few of these things- sometimes I try hitting two birds with one stone *(like laughing till I cry over a game in media production that I may or may have taken a bit tooo seriously- lol- now people know just how competitive I can be. Or studying with friends while drinking great coffee, or having a crocheting party while investing time watching my new obsession (Community).)
Sometimes you can do a few things ya want... but doing everything isn't an option. The sooner it seems I learn that the more time I'll have to just sit, take a big breath, and relax... apparently something people say I need to try more often.
So while I run off to do something else... sit and ponder... relax... and listen

Welcome to blogXperiment #1!
It's Wednesday- so welcome to my*world= and some of the amazing projects I get to work on.
You can check out some more of their photos here.
* Some things I learned from this shoot....
- You can never have enough memory cards on a wedding day. I felt like I was always filling cards up... so right after the wedding I started to purchase/stockpile a heap of 16-32GB cards. ha.
- Group photos are something you have to practice a LOT to get good at.
- Bright sunny days suck. So I tried to work with them instead of fight them.
And yes... if've you've been following some of my crazy projects in the past you may have recognized these lovely two from this...

It's been a crazy August- harvest is in full swing, which means I'm in filming mode. It seems my IPP is taking over my life... and full apologies to those in my life who seem to get the short end of this deal. But I promise in about 10 months it will all be over- and the crazyness of this project will be finished (*maybe?!).
Until then- enjoy this clip!

What do ya do when you get bored in Manitoba during a winter... ya drag people behind trucks on snowy roads- that's what ya do!
I was sorting through some old videos I put together from last year and came across this one. I figured that since it's almost the weekend it might give some inspiration for things to do in the middle of a Manitoba Winter... but remember... Safety First!

It's the week of projects and due dates... and I'm workin overtime here in CreComm vill.
In moments like this 2 things happen:
1. I'm usually found on my kitchen floor eating out of a peanut butter jar- Thankfully because of this challenge for another project I won't be doing it because... well... the peanut butter I like to eat has sugar in it! WHO KNEW!?
2. I LOVE to make up random playlists of music to listen to- and hit the repeat button. Currently I have only one song on that list...
and though I should share my love.
Here's tosurviving , enduring, acing the week!

'Tis the countdown to Christmas and now at my house- 'Tis the sound of sweet music playing playin' throughout.
First up on deck is the folky sound of Sufjan Stevens and his one man band.
And last but not least is Future of Forestry, with instrumentals galore it is some very stunning artistry.
sigh... I love Christmas.
And to top it all of a cool-young lad from Winnipeg created this wonderful Christ*mas filled masterpiece.
Well done Sean Quigley... well done!
