Afterlife, Part II: A Conspiracy Uncovered

4. May 2016 ~ by Julian

The second part in a trilogy is usually inferior in quality to the first and last. Think about it – all the characters are already introduced and well on their way. The plot and background have been established, all the pieces are set in motion, the conflict is clear as day. And yet, nothing of import can be resolved, no major plot twists may happen, both the heroes and the villains are mostly safe from harm, no important story line can really be tied up. After all, there needs to be a grand finale, the boss fight and a surprising twist in the third part. And so they fill Part II with chase sequences, fight scenes, meandering dialogue and pretty pictures. As will we. Read more

Afterlife, Part I: End of an Era

29. April 2016 ~ by Julian

 

Righty. It’s been a while, and we’ve taken a while longer to sort through all the photos, and then I’ve taken even longer to write stuff down. And because there’s a fair bit of material to chew through, let’s do a trilogy! Why not, they even made a trilogy out of the Hobbit, and that book is like four pages long. Also, let’s completely ignore the beautiful way our posts have been categorized, so far. Let’s mix Han Solo with Rollei photos and random bits and all. Revolution! Chaos! Anarchy! Read more

A Story of Missed Opportunities

Disclaimer: this one starts off a bit photography-centered. Just ignore the text, if you’re not interested in that stuff. 🙂

I was so ready to write a huge rant about the Rollei. Because, the photo above? That’s the first one in a series. Great light, with those hard shadows. Great color contrast, the warm house and cool t-shirt. I took six or seven pictures, of Tadzik, Lucja and Kazik. We even dressed them up. We played with the shadows. We had fun. Turns out, the shutter was stuck after that first photo. So it’s not the first one in a series, it’s the only one. Which kinda sucks. Read more

Bits and Pieces. And Han Solo.

4. October 2015 ~ by Julian

We’ve been around Vancouver a bit. And, while nothing we experienced would necessarily call for a dedicated blog post, we still thought it might be nice to share the bulk of it. Someone might get a laugh out of it, who knows. 🙂  Read more

Han Solo: Herder of Packed Bags

17. September 2015 ~ by Julian

So, there’s this guy joining us. His name’s Han Solo and he used to be a well-known smuggler. (Kinda defeats the purpose, being well known when you’re a smuggler, but don’t get him started on that). He was also a General of the Rebellion and a large, wall-mounted piece of contemporary art before coming to Earth. Read more
