The Weekend | Toronto Photographer

September 9, 2014 by Ardean Peters

No, not that weekend. This past weekend, which was a good one. I got a lot done, starting Friday night with the continued editing of my Hair Portrait series. A lot of work and I hope to finish getting through it this week. Then on to lot’s of errands on Sunday: Ikea, groceries, Walmart and then around the house stuff.

Lamoi ‘LaLa’ “laughs loud and is love” | Toronto Photographer

August 15, 2014 by Ardean Peters

This phenomenally beautiful woman stepped in front of my camera back in May. She graciously allowed me to photograph her for my Natural Hair Portrait Project. Her colours are bold and vibrant and beautiful, much like her personality and her words. She writes. She is a poet. Along with talking hair (of course), we also discussed being artists (something I hesitate to call myself) and about creating and doing your work and #creatingspace. Making room for other artists, encouraging other […]

Peace must be nurtured

August 8, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Listening to Corinne Bailey Rae’s song, ‘Seasons Change’, the chorus caught my attention and resonated: don’t you know that, that patience is a virtue (yes it is), and life is a waiting game… don’t you know that, peace must be nurtured I don’t know if life is so much a waiting game, as much as a ‘just do it’ game. but definitely, peace – our collective peace – seems so fragile at times and definitely needs some more caring hands. […]

August Long weekend and I’m staying in | Toronto Photographer

August 2, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Yup. Staying in. But with a plan and a purpose. Along with some client editing I have a mighty organizational focus preparedness plan to execute. That was a mouthful. I’m going to take this weekend to get super organized by getting my social media schedule in place, so I can connect with cool peeps in Toronto, by leveraging some cool time-saving on-line tools like bufferapp.com and unfollowers.com. Why you ask? Well, now that I’ve really drilled down and determined what […]

But I really need to re-pot those plants…

July 28, 2014 by Ardean Peters

“I don’t wanna start and be doing ‘it’ wrong.” Who else here is a great procrastinator? Stand up! And get to work! #talkingtomyself #peptalktomyself This article – The 80/20 Rule and Listening to Your Inner Procrastinator – is SOOOOO me. I do not like doing things unless I know that I can do them/know how to do it and that I know exactly what the outcome will be, from the beginning. And when I’m not sure, I simply don’t start. […]
