Raising a Canadian-Chinese-French Baby »
The Velcro Baby
Before I had Mark, I was prepared for a number of baby-related duties, including breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, diaper-changing, etc. I also knew that I would eventually get peed on, spit on and poop on.
But no one had told me I would have to spend every waking hour with a baby in my arms.
Candids in Ottawa
I recently started to focus on other projects—stuff that don’t include changing diapers, burping, cleaning up various body fluids… you know!—including my “People of Ottawa” set. I love candid shots and street photography, and spring weather is the perfect time to roam around the city with my camera again.
Picture of the Week: Traffic Jam
Despite being a fairly large city plagued with the usual issues associated with any urban environment, Ottawa is home to a variety of wildlife. For instance, in our suburban neighbourhood, a fifteen-minute drive from Parliament Hill, we have plenty of rabbits, squirrels, skunks, turtles (!) and many beautiful bird species.
Spinach vs. Biscuits
I love vegetables and I must admit that I don’t understand why they are at the top of so many people’s “most-hated foods” list. I can see not liking a specific vegetable—for instance, I’m not …
Getting Ready for a Long Coach Trip
Coach travel from London to the Continent is a brilliant option if you are on a budget but still want a city break in Paris, Amsterdam or further afield. Take a coach from London to …
June & Eight Months… in Numbers!
Mark is turning eight months on June 12—yes, already!
Baby Mark has changed a lot lately. He has become a little baby boy with his own personality and he can now express himself very well. He is tiring… exhausting, even, but he is a happy curious baby most of the time.
50 & Counting Tour – The Rolling Stones Live in Toronto
When Feng and I went to see The Rolling Stones in 2005 in Ottawa—our first concert together—we joked that it may be our last chance to catch them live.
The joke was on us. Eight years later The Rolling Stones are still on the road with their 50 & Counting Tour and we couldn’t resist going to see them, again.
Fotor – Image Editing Made Easy and Fun!
Image editing doesn’t have to be complicated, and most of us do not need to invest in a fancy and pricey software (ahem, Photoshop, looking at you…). There are great online solutions for photographers—and Fotor is one of these useful tools.
The Tee Quest - One Color Only and My Collection from Design By Humans
The quest for my perfect tee collection continues! Yes, I did it again… I ordered two more t-shirts, this time from Design By Humans, a creative community based in Chico, California.
Picture of the Week: The “Capital BIXI” Are Back
It’s prime tourist season here in Ottawa, and with the nice weather, the “Capital BIXI” are back on the road—the stations had been removed during winter time, where only hardcore Canadians dare to bike.
The Canadian Museum of Civilization: the Grand Hall and the First Peoples Hall
Canada’s national museum of human history is located in Hull, Quebec, directly across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The location itself is very scenic: the Museum overlooks the River and offers great views on Ottawa’s downtown core and main landmarks, including the Locks, the Parliament, Château Laurier and Nepean Point.
