Patrick Watson - Big bird in a small cage

Some Canadiana on a Sunday:

Tops - Diamond Look

One of my current band crushes after meeting them in Paris last month. I will share some photos in the coming weeks.

Effigy of home

A quiet Friday digging through old music and forgotten photos from home.

Andrew Bird, Effigy

Tal Uf Tal Ab, Robert Frank

Recently browsing one of my favorite London book sellers (Magma Books), I purchased a small photo collection titled Tal Uf Tal Ab by Robert Frank. He is well known for his lifetime in film and photography, including his infamous Rolling Stones tour documentary (link), his photo collection The Americans and work with the likes of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.

To my surprise , I found in his biography that he chose to settle down in Mabou, Cape Breton Island (my home). In Tal Uf Tal Ab, he captures little bits of his life in Cape Breton and New York.

A day on the water

Today, just a few shots from a day on the water in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax still holds a place in my heart as it was my first real move away from home. I think Halifax is still somewhat 'undiscovered' but everyone that visits seems to fall in love with the city. I think Tora captures the essence of Halifax life here.
