Ravishing Beasts at the MOVPosted by: naomi @ 3:29 pm in events, reviews |
I remember my first encounter with stuffed animals when I was a kid – it was in grade 3, when the windowsill of my classroom all of a sudden held a stuffed alligator shortly after Spring break. I remember going up to it and running my finger up and down its back and being fascinated with how realistic it looked.

Blast from the past – Museum of VancouverPosted by: naomi @ 1:07 pm in reviews, vintage finds |
What is the Museum of Vancouver? The Museum of Vancouver creates Vancouver-focused exhibitions and programs which encourage dynamic conversations about what was, is and can be Vancouver – basically it’s an awesome walk down memory lane with realistic displays of what life was like during different decades over the past 100 years.

A Revolutionary BicyclePosted by: ryan @ 1:20 pm in reviews, vintage finds |
It’s nearing the end of December and while the weather conditions certainly aren’t ideal for riding a bike, I can’t help but to think of what bicycle I should get to ride along with Naomi in the Spring. I recently bought her a 1960s Dutch Bike. Wanting a matching one, I spent weeks searching but couldn’t find anything within my budget. Dutch bikes from Batavus and Jorg & Olif usually run between $700-$1500. Researching some more, I stumbled across a phenomenal blog by Jeff Stracco, an American Expat, who writes about bicycles in China.

iPhone App Review: Toy CameraPosted by: ryan @ 1:36 am in cameras & lenses, reviews |
Recently, I picked up an iPhone and was thrilled at the quality of the photos it could take. Its picture taking abilities might not be up to par with DSLRs but its small size makes it discreet to use. On our blog you may have noticed we tint and tone our photos for a vintage look. When I found out the Toy Camera application for the iPhone could do this, I was excited and purchased it to see what it could do.
