On one of the very few evenings I’ve been home since early February, we had a visitor… with a camera. Rannie Turingan (aka Photojunkie) invited Gerry & I to be one of 20 couples photographed for his response to the SXSWi 20×2 question: What’s The Difference? As always, Rannie has left me impressed and inspired. Take a second and check this video out, it’s great! 20 x 2 : What’s The Difference? from photojunkie on Vimeo. del.icio.us Tags: rannie turingan, photojunkie, alexa clark, gerry thorpe, what’s the difference, 20×2, sxswi, video, couples, couchs, love

#68 Let Us Cheer You On aka Photojunkie’s one million giveaway
Check this out! Photojunkie’s almost one million! Visitors that is. The goal is to help push him over the edge before the end of the year. [yes, you can sing the song now... Cuz he's - Close - To - The - Edge...] Sure, sure, by leaving comments or blogging about this or spreading the word like wildfire you can possibly win stuff but it is more about helping him hit the target! [More Details Here] Don’t get me wrong here, if the PJ wants to give me a photojunkie print or a camera (Rannie, it really is that order…
My Ottawa Includes Graham Powell
In an odd twist of cross-city pollination, I was sitting in an Ottawa coffee shop catching up on Photojunkie's "My Toronto Includes…" when into the coffee shop walks a man who looks vaguely familiar. I look down and there he is on my screen – Graham Powell. [photo by Rannie Turingan] I don't know Graham. To the best of my knowledge I've never seen him before. I'm sure he doesn't know me. But there he is, simultaneously on my screen and ordering a Venti Soy Latte. So I walked up and introduced myself and handed him a copy of CheapEats…
WotS Blogging Toronto 4Ways
WotS Blogging Toronto Swag All the other panellists: Tim Shore of BlogTO, Rannie Turingan of Photojunkie.ca, Sarah Hood of Unknown Toronto and the panel moderator Matt Blankett of Spacing Magazine, all brought cool swag which they shared with the audience (and me!) The panel went well, though we didn't have enough time for a proper Q&A because we all had so much to say. BlogCamp anyone?
Naming Conventions
I suck at coming up with nicknames but it’s important not to embarrass my friends unduely when telling tales online… er… I mean to respect the privacy of the people I’m hanging out with. That’s why when Creampuff told me about the brilliant Star Trek naming convention, I jumped all over it. Here’s how it goes: If you are mentioning someone in a post who: uses their real name in comments on your blog or their blog, or if you are promoting their book, event or services, use their name: eg. Kate (of mynameiskate.ca fame), Tara, Mena, Andrea already has…
Photojunkie’s Toronto includes me!
Rannie at Photojunkie.ca has a new project called "My Toronto Includes…" His Toronto included me. Yes, it’s true. On Tuesday, a spot opened up in his shooting schedule just as I was writing to tell him I’d be gone until August. So in a mad flurry of makeup and cycling I booted over to Kensington Market, where we spent 40 minutes cooling our heels in the wading pool and wandering up Augusta doing a little shopping. Less than 24 hours later, Photojunkie has included me in his newest "My Toronto Includes…" series. Want to know more about Toronto through my…
Diva For A Day (& a half)
So one of the journalists asked for a photo of me… So there I am needing a high res picture of which I have very few. We all know I’m the one pointing the camera not hamming it up in front of it… Until now. First Ryan (aka Metrix Feet) kindly offered to point his camera at me at the Art Square Cafe on Tuesday evening. Then Jo Ann from Metro News pointed her camera at me for a couple of quick shots after an interview at Kowloon. And finally, Photojunikie dropped on by for Lemon Drop, and now I…
Please Stay Tuned
Yes, it would make sense that I would post about the amazing launch we had. It would make sense that I would post about Friday’s interview with CBC, CityTV’s coverage on Wednesday’s news, and tonight’s news @ 6pm (with Jee Yun Lee). It would make sense that I post about the great people who helped us by working the event, the fantastic group of guests, the sponsors, the food, and all the great friends of cheapeats who showed… but honestly, I’m too beat. So instead of promoting cheapeats, I’m out eating at them and getting a couple of days off.…
