With our cities so well lit during nighttime, it’s hard to appreciate the world beyond our busy lives. What better else than electricity to light the way to success on a late study night? What would we do without the soft glow of our cell phones that enables us to connect to those who we love? Even from a literary [...]
This weekend my family and I went to Fernie B.C. I love the beauty of the mountains and the landscape of B.C. so I decided to go for a walk and take pictures of it. Of course, instead, I got hung up on this cool, derelict old bus thats been planted in a field next to the train tracks for [...]
Such a delicate and fragile photo of a snowflake before melting. Perfectly acceptable seeing as spring should be making a late entry right around the corner, right? (fingers crossed) 2

Literally translated as the “Fragrant Harbor” in Chinese, Hong Kong enjoys high economic status in Asia as a metropolis. That’s not without the period of rapid growth under British colonization. With this growth came a fusion of Western elements in the local cuisine, improvising many British staples. Instead of regular milk in the black tea British people, Hong Kongers used [...]

Last Friday, Calgary’s very own Jubilee Auditorium held Alberta’s first ever Atlantic Ballet Show called Ghosts Of Violence. This magnificent ballet show was the first I have ever attended and may I say, WOW! I was amazed by the dancers ability to portray a story just through the movement of their bodies, through dance with no words just music. The [...]
It’s the time of year when everyone in my grade is starting to get stressed out about provincial exams. We’re writing short stories, and I was looking at techniques when I accidentally stumbled upon the art of flash fiction. It’s an interesting art. Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway once wrote a story in only six words as part of [...]
To most, spring break is a time to stay up all night and then sleep long past dawn. Today I gave myself a challenge; wake up at 6:30 and be out taking pictures before sunrise. Here are my five favourites. Dawn photography is known for being awesome for, well, the dawn of course! A beautiful sunrise always makes a breathtaking [...]
I’m on spring break still, and that’s awesome, but after a while, staying at home gets, well, boring… especially when you just got your wisdom teeth out and can’t do much! However, I had to make a gift for someone, and that’s when I got un-bored. On a recent vacation, I had seen some frames with photos in them that [...]

What is the makeup of a horror film? Why is it that certain movies only make us roll our eyes over the poor choices of the victims while others render us sleepless? As a huge fan of scary movies, I’ve always been interested in knowing the exact aspects of films that makes me jump. I’ve noticed that these aspects are [...]
A great thing for any artist to do is gesture drawing. This kind of fast-paced drawing captures the form of a subject and makes it identifiable, but not too detailed or clean. It helps build many essential skills such as understanding proportions and muscle structure, and with practice it can help artists capture scenes quickly and effortlessly. This is useful [...]
