There is also something about eating an apple straight from the tree that is pretty amazing and increasingly rare these days.
The Ramenaissance
The Ramenaissance is upon us. Ramen restaurants are a dime a dozen now, and it’s my aim to eat in as many of them as possible. I mean, it makes sense right?
Le Comptoir General — Canal St. Martin — Paris
The place is abuzz with people and commotion. Tables line the edges of the central hall leading up to the wooden ship bar. A brass band plays 30’s style jazzy tunes, tucked away in the corner behind a tiki bar.

Behind the Photo No.02 — Addis Ababa Carousel Kids
A working trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2013 with Canadian Humanitarian led to perhaps one of the best photos I have ever taken. Taken on a rickety carousel that led to a near vomit experience for the photographer, this photo is the culmination of a day spent with some wonderful students in the Ethiopian capitol. This image was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm F4 IS USM lens.

Rather than a standard photo tutorial, Behind the Photo is meant to be a real world example with technical information on how the photo was taken.

This was the first picture that truly inspired me and encouraged me to pursue a profession in visual arts.

Wandering Nørrebro - Copenhagen
While all of Copenhagen is an absolute delight, this small several block enclave is the perfect mix of shabby chic, Danish design, hipster coffee, and great eats and drinks. In fact, I found myself here several times over my stay in Copenhagen, and would a recommend a trip to this neighbourhood to anyone.
