Hot Shots of 2012

December 18, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Since “Obsessed with 2011” went over so well last year, I decided to include the photos in this year’s roundup of favourites. 2012 had me bouncing all over, hence there is some location variation. I’ve probably gone through background of these shots in their original posts (which can be accessed by clicking on the photographs or their titles), so I won’t bore you and just let you get straight to the pics! Top 10 ‘Snapshots’ of 2012 10. On Returning: Alright… it’s a […]

All I Ever Wanted Was the World

August 27, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I recently wrote about the joys of listening to country music while cruising down rural roads. And while I am ‘a little bit country,’ I’m really a lot more pop. I usually associate driving with pop music. Undoubtably the result of my local radio stations that typically live in their happy place of top 10 hits, occasionally wading further into top 40 waters. As much as I complain, however, I still secretly love rocking out to the latest and greatest pop […]

It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn

December 1, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” Slightly cheesy, I know, but when I was 15 I thought this Elizabeth Kübler-Ross quote was incredibly astute. Random fact: Elizabeth Kübler-Ross is the same psychiatrist who proposed the five stages of grief model. The photo is from inside La Sagrada Família, Antoni Gaudí’s cathedral in Barcelona.

Just Off the Boqueria

June 1, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Barcelona is probably the most beautiful and alive city I have ever visited. I’m not even going to go into it, it’ll just make me want to give up my life here, go back and enjoy a life selling mojitos from a backpack (like the Barcelona equivalent of being a Montreal squeegee kid). I really wanted to find a song from the band I’m from Barcelona to fit this picture, but the mood wasn’t quite right. Instead I’m offering the […]
