Yesterday I took my leather projects to the ocean and finished up some leather bowls while perched on the rocky shore of Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia. Everything is better outside.
Forward still, to Nova Scotia.
After the trip from Winnipeg to Toronto, I decided to continue east. Three days later, I left Toronto and made my way to Nova Scotia to deliver a friends car. We started in Digby and took our time driving back - always along the shore road, whenever possible. Some highlights: an oceanside campsite at Rissers Beach, well-worn pickle recipes, handmade dories in Lunenburg, the LaHave Bakery, Peggy's Cove in the fog, oat cakes on Cape Breton, soap made by friends in West Arm and SO. MANY. BLUEBERRIES.
6000 kilometers later, I've seen my share of central and eastern Canada.
If I could, I'd keep going...
These images are from Nova Scotia's beautiful south shore; Rissers Beach, Crescent Beach, Queensland and Peggy's Cove.

WIND + ROCK + SEA
Last May I took a trip to Newfoundland to see icebergs. I took many many photographs while I was there with no real purpose other than to try to document everything, including icebergs. Now, almost a year later, the images have finally been made into something tangible. I just finished a ten-piece series of images printed on watercolour paper and displayed like school room maps. The collection is a visual journey of my first encounter with Newfoundland.
See WIND + ROCK + SEA at Manic Coffee, 426 College Street in Toronto. Prices rage from $300 - $500.
One quarter Nova Scotian
I took a trip last week to Nova Scotia, one of the nicest places on the East coast of Canada. Every day brought a different fish to eat and a new reason to pull on my Blundstones.
Boiled down to five words, my week was: wind, wool, blizzard warnings, warmth, and Frenchy's.
These photographs were taken in Deep Brook, Point Prim, Mavillette Beach and Jordan Bay.
