On this day in 1917, The Battle of Vimy Ridge, Canada’s “Coming of Age”, began. 

In honour of the 3598 dead and 7004 wounded Canadians, on the 95th anniversary of the battle. 

Lest We Forget.

The New York Chinatown Chinese New Year Parade.

More New York

Some pictures from NYC! It’s hard to believe that my four months here are over half done!

Thoughts…

So there it is, 4x6x…357 :P so I failed a little bit, but I definitely took more pictures than I would have if I hadn’t been trying to do this. In that way at least, I will still call it a success! I feel a lot more confident with my camera now than I did a year ago (I even shoot on full manual mode now most of the time! When I started, it was pretty much exclusively aperture mode for me). I’ll likely still post some new photos from time to time. I’m in NYC interning, so there’s some great opportunities in an entirely different environment than Miami or Rome. For instance, I have some neat photos from the Chinese New Year Parade that I might post in the near future. If we would just get some snow, I would go out and have a field day…for real, what is up with this weather?

dec 31 - my last (and rather disappointing) shot of the year: the inside of an airport :P but in reality, it meant that i was home, even if just for a few days, so even if its a crappy picture…whatever. not to say that i’m not kicking myself for not taking a picture of the much snazzier airport at my stopover in zurich or the snow in montreal…
