Things to do while waiting for the train to pass | Toronto Photographer

October 3, 2015 by Ardean Peters

Take pictures and make a short timelapse of the train passing. I was on my way back from my morning Family Mini Shoot sessions at High Park and took what I thought would be a short cut on Junction Rd. But the train came an it was good. It forced me to wait and just be for awhile. And my sessions at the park? Well, they were awesome! I love hanging with families and making great pictures. Such a great […]

Barn’s Burnt Down… Now I Can See the Moon | Toronto Photographer

October 2, 2015 by Ardean Peters

I missed the Supermoon last Sunday night, as most of us in the immediate Toronto area did. It was overcast and we just had no visibility. I know, ’cause I went out driving around in my car hoping for a shot from a highway overpass with a good clear view, but no luck. But there were good views north of the city and west in Hamilton as captured here by Anita Thomas at Urbanmoon Photography. I really love the moon. […]

Hello October. Let’s Get Psyched Up!

October 1, 2015 by Ardean Peters

Sometimes you have to psych yourself up. I haven’t ridden my bike or done any physical activity of consequence in 2 weeks. Did you hear me? TWO WEEKS!! That’s crazy. What’s crazier though, is how easy it is to fall out of routine and let a new routine take over. That happened to me, through no fault or intention of my own – but it happened. And now I’m sitting here, editing, getting stuff done and thinking about how I’m […]

Friday and I’m back from the dead

September 25, 2015 by Ardean Peters

This week I came back from the dead. I finally shook that nasty flu I had. For 8 days I was sick and only started to feel normal on the 9th day, this past Sunday. Being sick sucks. And on that note, I digress. So what did I do this week? Well, for starters, I finally – shouts of exuberance and joy – painted my apartment. Some people scoffed at the idea of wasting money on a rental, but for […]

Monday: Not sick anymore

September 21, 2015 by Ardean Peters

Well, not completely. I’m about 90% recovered. And I’m faced with a Monday that I can get back on track with – again. It always feels like I’m starting over. I guess I should be used to it by now, having done it so much, it seems. Maybe it’s an incremental growth. I keep taking these teeny tiny little moves forward and though at times it may feel like I’m being blown all the way back to the beginning, in […]

Friday and I’m still sick

September 18, 2015 by Ardean Peters

And I’m blogging from my couch, wrapped up in a fleece blanket in between coughing fits and using text to speech to write this blog. And it sucks. Because I didn’t think that I was going to be sick this long. In fact I had felt I was well enough yesterday and then all sudden I took a turn back down again. And it sucks because I had momentum going and this sickness has sort of gotten in the way […]

Action is contagious

September 16, 2015 by Ardean Peters

Action is contagious. I tweeted yesterday: It’s funny how when you start doing things – really doing them, no holds bar – it forces you to figure out things. And I think – I am really realizing – how true this is. If you’re a perfectionist. Get over it. Do it even if you think there are mistakes in it. You can fix it later. The fact that you put it into action and that there is a later, is […]
