A walk around the 'hood (spring)

Holi Fernwood 2011

Last Saturday bunch of Fernwoodians headed to the park behind the community centre to celebrate Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colours -- a great excuse for a paint fight. No photographers were splattered in the making of this video. OK, maybe one ...

Happy New Year! Here's what we've done so far ...

I began this daily blog on September 11, 2010 as place to show the photos I was taking of my neighourhood, Fernwood. It's not a part of town traditionally associated with beauty; it has no waterfront, the real estate is still fairly affordable, and it's known for a funky atmosphere. But I've always heard that there's beauty everywhere if you know how to look, so I thought I'd start looking around with my camera.

Two months later, there are 11 photographers looking around with me and sharing their views of our 'hood. I post a new photo here on the blog every day, and I've been inspired by my fellow photographers' skills and artistry.

In celebration of what we've done so far, I put together this little video of our photos to date. Enjoy!
