That Colourful Swiss Sky

June 9, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Today has been a good day. There’s been quite a lot of things going on lately, among them include my brother getting his pilot’s licence and I found a DVD full of photos from European travels that I thought I had lost! …. Okay, arguably it was a better day for him than me, but anyway this means that the images on this blog are going to get even more euro-centric. Starting with these, unfocused, images of the sky above the city […]

A Night Out at Baldwin’s

June 8, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

If I am remembering correctly, Lapdance by N*E*R*D was playing around the time this photo was taken… it’s not the exact vibe I want for this photo. I first heard Yukon Blonde when 1000 Years was featured as iTunes’ free Single of the Week. Make sure you check those out, there’s some really good stuff that they gives away. 1000 Years is great, it has a metronomic beat that really just makes you want to bob your head and tap your feet in time. […]

Go. Stop.

June 3, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

All dressed up with somewhere to go. I’m sitting here writing this blog entry in a new dress, hair done and make up on, while my dinner companions are stuck in traffic, presumably staring at the clock and counting down the now 9 minutes we have to make our reservation. I was restless for twenty minutes waiting until I decided to stop and be productive. I felt awful in that “running to stand still” feeling, but it made me think […]

Miles from Nowhere in the Centre of the World

May 30, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I took this last summer in Madison Square Park while visiting a friend in New York City. Funny story: spent the weekend, chatted with her roommate… a month later learned, just shortly after my subletting friend did, that said roommate was the child star who played Matilda. As a child of the 90s, I can tell you that this was mind-blowing. I recently watched the film, The Brothers Bloom, it’s quirky and sort of great. I also really loved the […]

A Gothic Easter

May 29, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This photo is a little smaller than usual. A computer mishap a couple years ago left me with smaller versions of my photographs from a year abroad and, try as I might, they could not be returned to their original quality. This particular image is from the main square in Prague- all dressed up for Easter weekend. Although incredible touristy, the Old Town Square is a great place to loiter. In April the air still has a slight chill so, […]

Merch at the Rock Show

May 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I took this photo of a merchandise table a couple months ago at the concert of one of my favourite bands. The track I’ve selected is not from this unnamed group but is off of The Black Key’s 2010 album “Brothers.” The entire disk is solid from start to finish. I love the old school style of rock these guys have. Most of the tracks have these persistent beats that are both simple and creative- the result is addictive sound […]
