CURRENTLY

Hey guys! I've been crazy busy lately.  Lots of projects and events going on.  July is always a little hectic in my family.  We have something like 6 birthdays, and an annual charity event tha we help to organize.  So I've been back and forth from the city to the suburbs at least once a week.. Ah life.  I've also been contributing my time and putting together graphics for the charity event that I just mentioned (on top of my other work).  

BUT, I did have time to put together a little CURRENTLY post for you.  Just thought I would share the things I am kind of obsessed with at the moment :)

CURRENTLY WATCHING: Orange is the New Black on Netflix.  Can we talk about how good this show is, please?  Based on Piper Kerman's memoir of the same title, and created by Jenji Kohan (who brought us the fantasic series, Weeds) - we are transported into the lives of female prisoners.  It's a truly gripping series, and their are some really strong female characters.  I think it's amazing, and you should definitely give it a watch.  All episodes are now streaming on Netflix!

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: Coconut Records, "Nighttiming".  This album is from 2007. I have played it every summer since then, and still haven't gotten tired of it.  If you're a Jason Schwartzman fan (and why wouldn't you be?), give his album a good listen.  It sounds like California.  Some of my favourite tracks are Nighttiming (the video link features J. Schwartz's brother, Robert - of Rooney or Michael Moscovitz as I fondly like to remember him), West Coast, and Easy Girl.

CURRENTLY READING: Mindy Kaling's, "Is Everyone Hanging Out WIthout Me? (And Other Concerns)" .  This book is the best.  I haven't laughed so hard in a really long time.  I just want to be Mindy's BFF.

CURRENTLY LOVING: Frozen Yogurt.  Of any kind.  Yesterday I had a banana and coconut concoction.  It was delicious. 

 

TUNED IN: Live Photographs

Hey guys! This week's TUNED IN post is going to be a little bit different.  A few months ago, I was working with online music review + culture site, The Neon Mix.  I would attend shows with them on occasion and photograph the bands during their set.

Anyways, below are some (just a little sample) of the live band photographs I have taken.  I didn't want to spend a million years digging through my archives, so I picked some photos that were readily available.  That being said, I thought it might be fun to share some of my photography - because I haven't really done so as of yet.

**Do you know who the artists are?  The venues? Can you guess?**  Haha.. maybe you were even at the shows!  Say hi next time - I'm usually the girl with the massive camera lens pushing my way through the crowd.

Expect to see more of my photographs on the blog (it's a summer goal of mine to take more photos - it gets so hard with work + life - but NO EXCUSES!!!), and a PHOTOGRAPHY section added to my PORTFOLIO soon! 

 

 

**For those of you who didn't want to guess.. All shows took place in Toronto, ON.
