i thought the days of print were behind us, sadly
that is until i ran across ottawa’s latest arts and culture rag herdmag

it goes after my heart with its charming small almost-square size and quirky sensibility
i don’t know who is paying for this beautiful little magazine but i look forward to cutting it up for as long as it is around. i will even likely read it first!
i leave you with… the alien and the mystery machine

my commute is twelve minutes on foot through the downtown core. i marvel each day at the urban beauty all around me. the big bright colours bring great delight.
i do get looks though. suddenly stopping to snap a worn metal post from every angle. what is that lunatic looking at?
call me crazy. i love the urban landscape and feel grateful to be a part of it.
loving my environs,

golden buddha – oil and collage – 24″ x 32″
“there are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”
i take refuge in the buddha
i take refuge in the dharma
i take refuge in the sangha
