I did say I would be posting an etsy gift guide today, but it's just not going to happen. I need more time! This week though for sure, and probably on Wednesday, but maybe Thursday! Stay tuned!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Me, I'm still recovering.
Enjoy your day!

Blog Guelph: Fog
, originally uploaded by oliverstreetphoto.
I have started to think about gifts again, and I see that a bunch of Guelphites have Etsy shops. I did a quick search and found these sellers on the Guelph geolocator. I recognize Claygrl and SamiK, and I'll be going through the rest of the sellers. I'll post a gift guide on Monday!
Today, I'll leave you with a link of Michael Kenna, that John, posted in one of the Guelph Groups this week. I can't stop thinking about it. Enjoy and have a great Thursday!
Don't forget to scroll down and have click on the fantastic photos of Guelph in fog, and also one of Dave Noyle's that I just love!

November is shaping up to be my new favourite month. I did a double take today on one of my plants outside. It's never looked so good, and green. I hope there won't be bad repercussions later. I am looking forward to snow, and speaking of snow, there probably won't be any for the Elora Santa Claus Parade this Saturday at 6pm, beginning at South Street.
Above is a video made by cool-baby! Here's the description on YouTube: "Guelph,Ontario. Shot with a Super 8 mm camera,then animated on Windows movie maker. The music is a portion of "Home Sweet Home" by The Breaux Freres from an old cajun 78 I have."
Have a great day everyone!

Blog Guelph: oct 11 09 pool reflection cs (9)
Made in Guelph fishwithme55/Nick
I am pleased to showcase Nick's work which is as refreshing as Fall morning air. I don't know Nick beyond his images and his comments but what I do know is that you can feel the enthusiasm he has for photography in each of his photographs. He seems to compose his subjects in such a way as to provide a context supported by excitement. I am particularly drawn to his not-entirely-conventional use of focus and how it works to impart as sense of visual fog into his images. He really uses this focus to distill the image down to the important elements and to inject a huge amount of feeling and mood into the scene. Fog serves a powerful tool in his images, maybe by silencing the other elements, quieting the world around the subject while allowing the essential sounds to emerge from the otherwise cacophony of detail. Nick is a sensitive observer of his world and really seems to delight in the visual treasures he teases out of subjects most of us likely pass right by. Nick, your work is encouraging and energetic, and your enthusiasm is a huge boon for your own images and for those that make images around you. In your images, I find it very easy to place myself. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to following your stream.
Hope you are all enjoying the fog,

Blog Guelph: going into the light
going into the light, originally uploaded by thomevered.
I love paths and trees and light pouring through them. Lovely stuff! All these photos, I would love to walk right into and spend the day.
This morning I made a November Mix over at 8 tracks, and I thought I would share it with you. It's not perfect, but it's an off the top of my head, what I would like to listen to right now, kind of mix. Enjoy, and if you make your own mix, I'd love to hear. Leave a comment or flickr mail me.
Have a great day, and maybe I'll catch you on one of these trails later on today!

Blog Guelph: lost sail
lost sail, originally uploaded by emilyclaire..
I have been reading Kafka on the Shore off and on for the past couple of weeks. I used to read a book a day, and there was even a time when I wouldn't read at all. I think I'm in the middle of those two reading periods.
So, today I bring you group of photos with lots of letters.
I think it's about time I dusted off my goodreads account.
I hope you are all having a great day!

Blog Guelph: Dingle Peninsula - Grass Waves
Made in Guelph - Dave Noyle
Today I am excited to feature the work of Dave Noyle. I honestly cannot articulate exactly what it is about Dave's work that I find so compelling, but I do encourage you to think about this as you look at his images. Dave has an unbelievably sensitive and profound use of sky, light, and fog. While some photographers race out on a foggy morning to excitedly snap off a few pics, Dave seems to embrace the interface between the environmental and artistic. Whether it is fog, or mist, or dense low-hanging cloud, he seems to work these factors into amazing, powerful, and engaging anchors for the other elements of his image. Maybe that is what is so compelling, that he photographs these features in such a way that they become integral to the narrative in that they are supportive of other aspects, and not simply superficially beautiful. Dave also seems to enjoy the consequences of light, introduced or otherwise, and handles toning, colouring, and exposure with great ease. I feel like Dave makes images because he responds to what he observes, not because he feels like he has to, or he should, or something looks pretty. He is another photographer that realizes his work in a context greater than his eye. Dave, I really respect, admire, and am inspired by your vision and your photography. To those of you not yet familiar with his work, I highly recommend looking through his stream. If you get a sense of why his work is something so much more than a beautiful image, maybe let me know, because I don't think I have quite figured it out!
Sorry for the delay - but I hope you enjoy this Made in Guelph. I think I might just head through his stream again.
