An Italian version of myself...


From the country...

This here photo is of yours truly taken by Mauro Vallinotto at Terre Madre in Italy. I am still unsure as to what the purpose of this photo is to be but I thought I would share it with you. This is me. I have a rounder face (due to pregnancy) and my teeth aren't perfect, I was jet legged and confused as to what was really going on and I don't quite understand why I was asked to pose with my hands folded like that (isn't that the pose of the dead?). You can look at the photo and start to see my age (which I am okay with... really I am) and I know that by looking at this photo there is really two of us present and that we went on a world wind trip together. I don't take great photos but I don't mind this one, this photo is an honest picture of who I am.

My name is Laura. I live in the Kawartha Lakes in Ontario, Canada. I am a farmer who loves her chickens and turkeys. I love food and I love to produce it. I love family and rural life. This is me! Now who are you?

Sunny Sunday

From the City...
Today was such a great day to be living in Toronto. The energy of the city was so infectious! Simon and I spent the entire day walking all over the place, including a trip to Kensington Market where we came across the coolest kid ever! Christian is a 12 year old artist who lives with his grandparents in the market. On the weekends, he sets up a booth out front of their home and creates these incredible portraits for the reasonable price of $2 each. Needless to say we paid our money and sat for our first ever portrait session.

Just when you start to question your surroundings you have one good day that turns everything upside down again.

Hope everyone was able to enjoy some of that sun today...back to the grind tomorrow.
