live out loud

in hamilton, every second friday of the month, there is an art crawl. its called the james street north art crawl. james street north is in the heart of downtown hamilton in the art district. its not big, hamilton isn't that big, but the art crawl is when galleries in the area have their new art openings. artists show their talents. there is hand made jewellery, music, photographers, painters, dancers. there is furniture for sale, cafes have bands playing. you can talk to the artists, they are right there. you can ask them anything, praise their work, purchase a painting/photograph or drawing of theirs (heres the site). 
the area in general is interesting, i love it.

 these are the kind of coffee shops i love.

i disapprove of how conventional and characterless places like tim hortons and starbucks are. okay yes if im just going to get the caffeine rush these options are acceptable, but if im going to enjoy a cup of coffee while catching up with a friend, on a date or just while sitting down to read id prefer a coffee shop with oddity and character. there is something about mismatched coffee mugs and using real spoons instead of stir sticks that i love. 

some things around the district

i need a better camera.. pictures dont turn out the way i would like them to.. you cant get clarity when you want the entire scene in.

live out loud. 
be creative.
creativity is allowing yourself to be free, worried not about judgment, to express your thoughts, dreams, ideas, style, beliefs and everything else in life.
