Photo a Day

People will often say that their whole lives flashed before their eyes after they experienced a traumatic event. Perhaps it’s a bit morbid, but we think that sounds pretty incredible. Taking a photo a day is a big undertaking with big payoffs. Here are just a few reasons why I started this week.. First photos to follow.

  • Wednesday was my 29th birthday. Cant find a better day to start.
  • Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)
  • Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.
  • Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.

That Sound Junkie

One of my favourite Podcasts has always been That Sound. The show used to be called The Post Modern Rock Show. Who wouldn’t love that title. It’s been about four years since I started listening. I cant tell you how I first found the show, but I think I was searching for some Thermals music and came across it. The presenter is one Dave Cusick, a Portland native living in Canada. Dave has some of the best taste in music. I think I could count on one hand the amount of songs I haven’t liked in fours years of listening.

This past summer I got to spend a short week in Portland and the latest show brings back all the memories of a great trip and an awesome city. My new favourite track of the month is from a Portlkand band.  Fresh off their wild and raucous 2008 release, One Shoe Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Portland, Oregon’s The Ascetic Junkies . Check out their tracks below, then go buy the album.
