Chrome and the Ice Queen EP

So a few months back I did a photoshoot with Lisa Conway for Chrome and the Ice Queen's new EP. You might remember them from my older post about a previous shoot (with more diamonds). Their music is beautiful and haunting, and happens to be inspired by Twin Peaks, so we decided to take inspiration (or just totally appropriate) from the photo of Laura Palmer (you know, the dead girl) of the show. Lisa makes a great dead girl, although much glammier, sparklier and more appropriate for a band's EP.
To check out the final product and listen to the album, which I highly recommend, visit their website!

I'm carrying my little point and shoot digital canon camera everywhere with me here in Paris, not necessarily to get touristy shots, I carry it in Toronto just as much, but this is my way of journaling. Instead of writing everything down I just go snap happy and keep a kind of visual record of the things around me. 

Here are some amusing things from the other day, the first being a window filled with models wearing garbage bags - too timely since I had just been in a couple churches that up until easter, cover any Jesus statuettes with a purple cloth - they look eerily similar to these mannequins. 

The second photo is taken from the roof of the Grande Mosquée de Paris, it's a beautiful mosque filled with wonderful gardens and mosaic tile work. I don't know if it's the season or if they generally don't tend this one area of this rooftop garden, but I enjoyed the contrast of the industrial view in the middle of such a lovely oasis...

En Paris!

Je suis finalement en Paris, et c'est magnifique!

fiery plates

A photo of our decorative wall plates from my old house Casa Rosa - it was either the first or the last shot on the roll, but either way it's good and fiery.

Chrome and the Ice Queen

This summer I spent some time making tinfoil diamonds for a photoshoot with the fantastic music project called Chrome and the Ice Queen - this is what we came up with! Visit their site to listen to 'Sway' a song I can't seem to stop humming in my head...
