The butterfly is beautiful, but soon will die // 12.28.08 Update

i realized something this holiday season: family is the most sacred and important thing in the whole wide world.. this isn’t something that’s only come to me recently, but as i’ve gotten older, its def starting to mean more and more to me.. i wasn’t always the best kid (understatement of the century) and God knows that there aren’t too many people more stubborn than i am, so i probably made things a lot more difficult than they had to be growing up.. add to the equation the fact that i always had to do everything i wanted to, and that i’ve chosen some pretty unusual vocations in my time, and you can pretty much figure out how explosive the entire dynamic was and still is..

my relationship with my parents has generally gotten a lot better since i moved out though, and in these past four years i’ve grown to appreciate the sacrifices made by my parents a whole lot more.. while i didn’t celebrate xmas with anyone this year (i stayed in TO because i’ve already flown back to Van 4 times this year), i called my mom on Christmas eve, and we ended up having an hour-long conversation about a lot of serious topics.. and for once, we didn’t end up screaming at each other at any point (rare).. i guess we both realized that life is too short to let stupid distractions and unnecessary complications get in the way of building on our once-broken relationship. i always say that i’m into photography because i appreciate the beauty often lost in the monotony and chaos of our modern, concrete lives, but now it seems i should learn to take more time to appreciate the various relationships in my life in moment instead of simply charging forward towards immortality as i always do..

and i definitely never thought i’d ever say this out loud even, much less write this on a site, but that conversation was the highlight of my holiday season. tonight, i’m having a late Xmas dinner, and then its off to the races again – shoots & interviews galore until the end of January.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

2:41pm, a day in the life..

- The Last Goodnight, “Imcomplete“

Last week i mentioned that i had a new ‘favourite band’ – so here it finally is. According to trusty Wikipedia The Last Goodnight is an American group that released their first album in 2007.. I’ve been playing all their tracks on repeat since i came across their radio single about a month ago, and frankly i’m loving just about everything so you’ll def see other tracks of theirs posted in the future..
