ALL THE CLUTTER OF MY LIFE… (www.michelleford.ca)

My friend Meghan Patterson and Dustin Fishbook (who also owns The Belmont Barbershop located downstairs from Mr Lee’s) and Jeff Lee Petry  opened a general store on Broadway and Quebec. This week I went in and took some quick photos of the store and how cute Meghan and Dustin are together. (we’ll all know how much i love super couples)

Here is what the place looks like:

Dustin & Meghan.

A worldly selection of delicious teas.

skulls that are candles! and Rushmore pins.

the beauty cabinet.

 pads to take notes on, umbrellas to keep you dry and cards to send to loved ones.

back packs!

so cute!

those of you who know me, probably having a tough time remembering what i look like. between working nights 6 days a week and my new found love for arts and crafts and yoga during the day my level of reclusive-ness has is at an all time high. Thankfully Maya and Mish have taken the initiative to move sunday night family night to my apartment for the last 4 weeks. and somewhere in between i managed to flee the country and head to seattle to see wanda jackson play!

Back in October I had the privileged to photograph actress Bryce Dallas Howard for Black Book Magazine. You may know her best for playing the blind girl in M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village”, but more recently she has spent her time in Vancouver filming the third saga of Twilight Bryce was soooo wonderful to work with, Charlotte who styled and Dan who did Hair and make up were also really great!

Last week on november 12th around 4 am a large part of vancouver burnt down to the ground.

.here are some photos from the same morning of fire fighters trying to clear the rubble.

just a little website update:

in case you haven’t noticed there tends to be a recurring theme of horses on this blog. there magical creatures and i find them so beautiful photograph. my mum recently sent her little pony off to be broken at a new farm. here is a photo from a day i spent there.

this is my friend mac demarco’s band. he is currently touring with japadroids across north america. if you get a chance to see him play you probably should because its only a matter of time before you won’t be able to afford to see him play.
