2014: A Retrospective

2014 retrospective
To quote one of Douglas Coupland’s sign in his Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition, Everywhere is Anywhere is Anything is Everything, “It’s not an illusion. Time is moving faster.”

Christmas In Victoria

Little Girl Turns 8

Holiday Party Photobooth


Never one to turn down a photo booth at an event. However, we opted out of the props this time. Because we’re classy like that. No, not really. Just didn’t go with our outfits. No, not really. We didn’t want to look like everyone else donning on the hats, clown sunglasses and held up moustaches. Quite, possibly. Vain and wanted to look our best. Sure, let’s go with that. Ha.
