Filed under: blah blah blah blahg blog. — michelle. @ 6:45 pm

Its been 2 years to the month that I was last in Africa, that also makes two years of dreaming that one day i would return to the big beautiful continent to continue you my landscape series. Well finally I’m going back! holy smokes![dear dad, I would like to apologize in advanced, I realise that you are probably reading this before I even get a chance to call you and ask your permission to use up all your air miles for this journey, just wouyd like to remind you how much i love you and your are the best dad ever!] As of September 18th I will depart from JFK airport and make my way to Nairobi, Kenya where I will spend the proceeding month traveling through the eastern countries and I will eventually end of up in Egypt before returning home.

.

.Anyone want to come with me? I’m hoping to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, if this may interest you please let me know! flights were super cheap!

♒ ISLAND FOLDS 〽

Filed under: blah blah blah blahg blog. — michelle. @ 3:44 pm

A few weeks back a group of my nearest and dearest traveled to Pender Island and camped out at Island Folds art residency on the north island. It is run by Luke Ramsay (an amazing illustrator) and his girl friend Ange, both of which are wonderful human beings.

Unfortunately my camera decided it would be an appropriate time for it to stop working properly and hardly any photos of our trip turned out but here are some photos of the two of them that kinda turned out….:

∆ PROBLEM WITH MY EMAIL!! ∇

Filed under: blah blah blah blahg blog. — michelle. @ 2:20 am

It seems that I have come to realize that my emails associated with my website, both info/okgreat @michelleford.ca have been rejecting a lot of emails from entering into my inbox. Thus if you have emailed me in the last 8 months and I have not replied it is probably because I never recieved any of them. So I’m now forwarding all emails to my gmail account, and if you are reading this and have an address book please enter my gmail address in as michelleaford @ gmail.com.

Anyways, on a lighter note, don’t know about you, but I am having the best summer ever! See you soon Montreal and Toronto!

where we decided to make magic for the rest of the summer)

This is Maya’s boyfriend Graham. He is an amazing man.

ᐂ landscapes ᑍ

Filed under: blah blah blah blahg blog. — michelle. @ 4:10 pm

Last week Maya brought it to my attention that I’ve been shooting a lot of landscapes lately…which I guess is true. In fact I love shooting nature, something about it I find so satisfying.

Here are some from the last couple of weeks.

(PREFACE: Dear blog readers,

It has recently come to my attention that there are actually people who read my blog other than my father and my 4 nearest and dearest. So, part of my several summer projects I have taken on I am going to make a promise to you that I will update my blog as much as possible.

summer good tidings,

michelle)

Went to Nelson Island this week with Ben, Maya and Graham. We had a great time.

See for yourself…..
