bathtime outdoors

this sweet little guy is my son emerson.  last summer we kept with tradition and gave emmie a bath on the cottage deck... in the little green basin all the grandchildren in the wood family have used over the years.

(in the very last frame you see emmie looking at a photo of his big sister in the tub when she was little)

the images are double exposures on kodak portra film shot on my uncles old minolta x700.  the images that bleed through are from my dad's property in guelph... where i grew up.

winter at the manor

just a small collection of moments from a recent winter wedding...  a blustery, sun-filled day in january.  the backdrop for bronwyn & mike's grounded & beautiful wedding was the stunning graydon hall manor.   i cherish small, intimate weddings for their sincere and honest nature.  it is a beautiful thing to watch those normally guarded walls come open for one night... emotion on our skin... tears, laughter... what love is made of.

the return of warm sunfilled days are just out of our reach.  i'm craving the sultry days of summer.

lost, wandering barefoot on pine in the tranquil forest.  looking for light.  looking for life.  

oh summer, where art thou?

i want your love

dan & mark.  december 2012.  florida 

true love.  the real kind.  the respect they have for each other is palpable. 

i wish for everyone to find and hold onto this kind of love.  the kind mark & dan have cultivated.

i love them too and feel blessed to have them in my life.

when I came to this world  /  I arrived in a car

I was a boy  /  I was a girl

pyramid glass  /  scraping the sky

see our reflection  /  cast no reflection

I want your love
