Things That Are True - List the Fourth

Ten Things I'd Really Rather Not Say Again Ever But Which Will Probably Escape From My Lips Within Ten Minutes of Writing Them Here:

  • Please use your fork, not your fingers.
  • Stop picking your nose.
  • Too loud!
  • Please don't touch things that don't belong to you.
  • Please don't hit [insert random noun here].
  • What happens when you don't listen?
  • Please don't wave things right in my face.
  • No, you may not have my [insert random food noun here].
  • No finger guns at the table.
  • Chew your food and swallow it, then speak.

You may conclude from the above that breakfast was a little more challenging than usual this morning.

Things That Are True - List the Third

Ten Photos I Took That I Love So Much I Call Them My Art and I Don't Care if Snooty Art Experts Don't Consider Them Good Enough So There*:
 


A photo of a photo - a shot of the Woodwards building reflected in Stan Douglas' vast window photograph of his recreation of the 1971 Gastown Riot. Article about his piece here.



Wormhole! Sitting in the front seat of one of the trains on the Canada Line, looking down the tunnel ahead of us. I love the ghostly reflection of the person sitting on the other side of the train.



Sunlight hits one of the statues of Yue Min Jun's A-Maze-Ing Laughter public art installation in my neighbourhood.





The light in Chicago was amazing that day.


The Imp fell fast asleep in a busy cafe. I couldn't resist.


In Paris, even the graffiti is romantic.


If I ever release an album, this will be the cover image.


A bit of whimsy in my own neighbourhood.


So what do you think? Should I open an etsy shop? Sell prints?

[Edited to add: I took all of these with my iPhone, using the Hipstamatic app.]
