Nova Scotia, CanadaThese photos are old, at least seven years old. I like the photo of my mum and my brother walking on the beach, because the height discrepancy is not that large; now however, she is 170cm and he is 193cm.
I’ll be in Halifax again this autumn, for the first time since I finished university. There aren’t many of my friends there anymore, as they too have scattered the globe and gone off to do exciting things. But I’m looking forward to walking along the waterfront, shopping on Barrington, music at the Seahorse, food at that little greasy spoon across the water in Dartmouth. I know I’ve changed so much since those days, and I wonder how much the city has changed, too.

Brenna, you have an incredible eye and a real talent for photography. Seven years ago!!! Seriously, you need to go into this field. I mean, I know we’ve never met, but the reason I started fllowing your Livejournal years ago was because you had something then, and it just keeps getting better. I follow your blogs the same way I do the Satorialist, myfunnyeye and sean marc lee. You always make me want to do more and take my own photography more seriously. If you have a show, I don’t care where it is – I’m there! Have fun in Hali, I was there for a few days this summer, it’s the same, just with more great pubs and restos. I can’t wait to see a post!

Oh wow, thank you Cheryl! That was a really lovely message to read…especially during these stressful days.
I don’t know what else to say other than thank you; I really appreciate your words and I know that I will come back to this comment whenever I am (once again) doubting the photos I take.
I mean it all too! I love your next post of your cameras too – my husband always asks what kind of camera you have and I never know what to tell him. He’s a real techie and is constantly buying me new cameras, when all I really want is to use my old lomo and my film Canon. I can’t complain though, a good camera is helpful. I’m always incredibly critical of my own photography and I find myself comparing it to everyone elses , but sometimes I have to tell myself that my style is just different. It’s not polished, it’s not glossy or ad like, I can’t take a good landscape photo to save my life and I’m no good at studio style set up shots. But, I love to take photos and my photos make me happy. I have a lot I’d like to do with mine, but I lack the confidence somedays to take the plunge.
I said all that to say, I know how you feel – but you shouldn’t feel that way. I’ve watched a lot of the blogs I read get famous over the past few years, and I feel like you should be marketing yourself somehow (if you have any desire to be a part of the whole blogmania). I’m seriously waiting for the day when you get discovered.
I hope life isn’t too stressful right now. It sounds like you are on the brink of another transition period. I’m sure it will all work out for you, and I can’t wait to see how it does…
By the way, I meant Sartorialist in the first post, not Satorialist… I never reread before I post.

Wow, thanks again Cheryl! I can’t write much now…the movers will be here any minute…but I’ll write more when I have time!
I don’t market myself at all, I wouldn’t even know how to begin! Any tips?
