Blog Guelph: Dis-a-Ray


, originally uploaded by Denim.

As promised, I bring you photos of The Family Thrift Store and Dis-a-Ray AND food talk!


First off I thought I would link to the recipe of my favourite curry to make. I have seriously made this way too many times. It has heat which you could tame, and it really does taste like a tikka masala dish from your favourite restaurant. I would probably follow the advice of this blogger, and not use the salt called for. It is way too much, but other than that I follow the recipe. The comments are great to read for modifications.
I have a brick of tofu, that I am going to try experimenting with this weekend.

During the cold spell I was making oatmeal every morning. What I like to do to jazz it up is pour maple syrup on top, add a dollop of strained balkan style yogurt, so it's super thick, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of crunchy granola, and finish it off with a drizzle of milk. I usually add a fruit too. Stewed apples or banana is especially good with this.
This morning I found this idea of stirring an egg into the oatmeal during the last minute of cooking. Ok, that just sounds creamy and rich and perfect for today after I get back from the gym.

Have a great day!

Blog Guelph: walls


, originally uploaded by PaulaRussell.

Lately here in my house we've taken to reading off bits from Rex Murphy's latest book, Canada, and Other Matters of Opinion. Even if you love, say, Bono from U2, you can't help but agree on his opinion that things are not right when he scolds his own government for not putting enough tax dollars into Africa aid, and then takes his song writing business out of Ireland because taxes are too high. Of course, Rex makes all this sound funny and preposterous.

I'm loving all the photos I've chosen today. Click on the photos and have a look around, if you're inclined, and I'll be back tomorrow with some food related goodness!

Have a great Wednesday! I love taking rainy day photos, and so I am off to do so!

Blog Guelph: CORN IN WIND

Made in Guelph - CAFREL / Francesca Carrer


CORN IN WIND Originally uploaded by CAFREL

I would like to introduce many of you to CAFREL/Francesca Carrer's photostream. She might be relatively new on the Guelph Flickr scene, but she has sure hit it with a bang. I am not as familiar with Francesca's work as I am with many other photographers, but her work sure made an incredible first impression!  She has such a pervasive calmness to her images. She clearly distills and quiets her scenes down to focus on a single element or feeling. I find that when I am looking at her images it is not so much that she has frozen a moment in time for the subject, but more that she has frozen both the viewer and the subject together. That stillness she finds in so many subjects and translates so well to her images is both palpable and communicable.  My morning is certainly calmer for it. Her stream is peppered with some beautiful isolations, emotive landscapes, and mouth watering food and coffee. I would highly recommend sitting down and looking through her stream, but would suggest have you lunch or a coffee first, otherwise your afternoon will likely be lost.  So welcome Francesca, I look forward to following your stream.

Hope you are all having and enjoyable week,

Paula Russell

Blog Guelph: AGED CORNER


AGED CORNER, originally uploaded by CAFREL.

I was downtown a lot this weekend. Of course, you know that Dis-a-Ray from The Family Thrift Store has reopened an antique store down on Wyndham. We darted in looking for cameo pins and watches, and sure enough right there in a display case was both, and a fancy Guelph pin for myself. Before I stepped out of the store the pin went on my lapel. It's perfect.
After that, we went to find a battery for the big silver timex watch. Another fantastic buy, and it works perfectly.
Ray also had some fine looking vintage halloween masks, and a stereoscope slide viewer. There was also a bag of stereo images on card, which I was tempted to snatch up.
I am really happy Ray has set up shop downtown. For me, there was always something not right going downtown and passing the empty Family Thrift Store.
Of course I should really have gone through the Guelph pools for pictures of the downtown thrift store, but most times I choose photos and don't know what I'm going to write here until my fingers touch the keys. This was one of the times. Later in the week, I'll be back with a wide array of shots. Did you see that? Array - Ray. Groan.

Have a great day!

I am pretty sure I promised interesting fare today.
Alas, I am sick. The head it hurts.
This link sent to me by my dear friend, certainly made me feel better about the human race. Now if only it could clear the headache, and chills.
I think this pretty scarf might make me feel better about my lot. Online, wishful retail therapy does help slightly.

Oh, I think I see my donut coming in the door!
Have a great day, and wash your hands to ward away evil germs.

Blog Guelph: Small and Tall

Made in Guelph - RavenGirlPhotography / Julia Busato


Small and Tall Originally uploaded by RavenGirlPhotography

I am incredibly pleased to showcase the work of Julia Busato, and for those of you not yet familiar with her work I would highly recommend checking out the best of work on her site. Julia is what a photographer should be, open, dedicated, present, aware, genuine, respectful, and super connected to her vision. I have long admired Julia's photography and can still remember first seeing her work when I joined flickr, being absolutely amazed by it, and respecting just how much of herself she put into all her images. Her photography is what great photography is all about. By going so far beyond a simple two dimensional rendering of that which was in front of her, Julia crafts these emotional charged images where you feel empowered, you feel proud, you feel insecure, you feel alone, you feel loved, you feel sheltered,.... Viewing her work, to me, feels the same as it does sitting down in a room with a close friend, as the low light fades into evening, and you are filled with the emotional affect of having shared some very personal moments. I know not of what camera she uses, or how she lights her scenes, or how she gets such beautifully rich BW conversions, but none of that matters. Julia's work really feels like she uses her heart, her mind, and her experiences when she shoots, and supporting her images is not a mass of pixels, or .tiff saved data, but respect, genuine, honest, felt respect for herself and those people and things that she photographs. In my opinion, it is the respect that inheres both the approach and the image that makes an amazing image, and Julia does it so well and so often. Thank you, Julia, for sharing your work and yourself. I wish you all the best with your photography, Flickr will be your start but it certainly will not be your end.

Have a great day,

Paula Russell
(again, apologies for the quality, her work is far superior than this and I am working on getting this fixed - I would suggest going through her Flickr site!)

Blog Guelph: Red leaves


Red leaves, originally uploaded by Nirai Kanai.

This morning I passed a Gingko Biloba tree and just about every leaf was on the ground. The sidewalk and the road was a carpet of these incredible green leaves, and mixed in was the odd yellow and orange maple leaf. I didn't want to be perceived as crazy, so I did not plop down in the leaves, but I would certainly have had my niece do it, if she were around.
I hope you are all having a fine day, and I have to say, I just ate my last ripe tomato for lunch. I'm sure I'll get over it, but that was sad.

My deepest apologies.
My work in the core has led me astray today and here I find myself, 12 hours after I should've been here.
Better late than never p'raps?
But I just know that it's not too late to mention this astounding fall weekend of festivities though.,,, The 24th Guelph Studio Tour and The Guelph Arts Festival AND Taste of Downtown are all happening as we speak.
Don't miss any or all of them.
Quite the town, Guelph is.

And such photographers!

Oh the yellow of Fall! This mustard colour is probably my favourite hands down this time of year, and with that blue green of the photo above, it's love. Sigh.

So, I've been wandering around the internet and found some great food blogs. This one, Sprouted Kitchen is just so nice to look at, and I want to make everything on that opening page.
I've made this bread pudding a few times from Simply Recipes, and it's good! That may have to made tonight!
These days, all I think about is making food, and hunkering down. Are there any great recipes you're thinking of or that you make at this time of year?
Have a great Thursday. It's almost the weekend!

Blog Guelph: Ontario Badlands

Made in Guelph - 1AGFOXXX / Bill Wynneck


Ontario Badlands Originally uploaded by 1AGFOXXX

Today I am happy to feature the work of Bill Wynneck, who is likely best known for his avian-related photography. I have long admired Bill's bird-work for their beauty and narrative, but also for the respect he shows his subjects and the knowledge of bird-behaviour that are so key to his creating such impactful images. There is a huge diversity to the images in Bill's stream but they are supported his quiet observations and unobtrusive recordings. Bill is the anti-hoarder when it comes to information and will eagerly share his techniques and locales with anyone interested. This giving and respectful approach to his photography is clearly manifested in the honest and authentic feel that underpins his subjects. The gentle slope of the badlands, the graceful arc of a wing, the close interaction of windows to door, and the tender interaction between musician and instrument, in all of these subjects Bill has found a moment, or created one through his composition, that you likely would not have felt even if you had been in the swamp with him. Thank you Bill for the stories you tell and the moments you present.

Hope you all had an enjoyable long weekend,
Paula Russell

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend. Me, I am lying here on the couch with thoughts of yesterday's meal. My mother's stuffing is the best there is, and I wish my eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I had thought to package some up to bring home for just this moment. I think next time, which won't be until Christmas, I'll bring my fair sized glass container for a fill up.
Speaking of Christmas, I have a fab link for making your own gift bows. This really speaks to the teenage me, who wrapped all her gifts with newspaper.
Have a great Monday, and I'm posting one colourful image to brighten your day!

Blog Guelph: changing foliage


changing foliage, originally uploaded by NaturesEssence.

The leaves are changing here in Guelph. The parks are starting to fill with colour, and walking downtown, I can't help but smile and say hello to everyone I pass. Well, not really, but it is a nice thought, isn't it. There are smiles for sure, but I've been slightly stunted on the saying hello to every person I pass.
When I was a young wee lass of eleven, and fresh off the boat from Newfoundland, where you did say hello to everyone, I was told by a friend, "We don't do that here." I remember where I was walking, and even now when I say hello to someone it takes me right back to walking down Cedar street in Cambridge.

Have a great day everyone, and don't forget your umbrella, and say hello to someone who would least expect it!

Blog Guelph: Arches of Time

Made in Guelph - ARebbs / Andrew Rebbetoy

Arches of Time Originally uploaded by ARebbs

I am pleased to feature a set of Andrew's incredibly emotive BW images. I have long admired Andrew's photography for the emotional depth that ubiquitously inheres his work. Andrew really uses his photography, not just his camera or his lenses, but the process and the image. He has an incredibly vast and impressive knowledge of the tech associated with photography, specifically digital shooting, and embraces the gear like no other. But what is most noteworthy about Andrew's work is the profound narrative he weaves into his images. Andrew certainly feels very comfortable with his tech, but what is so impressive is the ease with which he creates, not captures, not records, not controls, his images. I have long appreciated the dedication and discipline he applies to his photography, and the confidence and courage he has shown with his approach and presentation. While his inner and omnipresent engineer embraced the equipment, his inner artist used it for what it is, a communicative tool to reflect on his world. I have long admired and respected Andrew and his work, and have been equally inspired to instill into my own work the same sincerity and honesty as he brings forth in his. Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your work. I would highly recommend looking through the Sets of images Andrew has compiled. His stand alone images are impressive and his unified sets of images are pretty much awe-inspiring.

(Note: There seems to be a bit of problem sizing the images here, the are much sharper when viewed on his flickr page, which I would recommend you do!)

Hope you are all adjusting well to the Fall shooting!

Well Hello!
Sorry, I had to post that link of Brenda Dickson. She really was the best Jill on Young and the Restless. I might not have watched Y&R since high school, but I do spend an awful lot of time repeating bits from Brenda's beauty advice video. They are worth looking around for on youtube. I love her!

Have a great day, and have a click on these photos, read the tags and be teleported into the photo. (sorry Brenda Dickson teleporting humour)

Blog Guelph: Sky


DSC_0399, originally uploaded by scratchedcornea.

Yesterday got away from me, and I forgot to tell people I blogged their photos. I'll be right on that as soon as I finish up here.

It's October 1st, and it certainly looks it out there. It's cool and grey with a hint of blue in the sky.

I'll leave you with a poem by

Mary Oliver - Fall Song

Another year gone, leaving everywhere
its rich spiced residues: vines, leaves,

the uneaten fruits crumbling damply
in the shadows, unmattering back

from the particular island
of this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhere

except underfoot, moldering
in that black subterranean castle

of unobservable mysteries - roots and sealed seeds
and the wanderings of water. This

I try to remember when time's measure
painfully chafes, for instance when autumn

flares out at the last, boisterous and like us longing
to stay - how everything lives, shifting

from one bright vision to another, forever
in these momentary pastures.



Have a great day,
Donna
