Making Memories

Over the last six months I’ve been learning how to use a my first DSLR through my partnership with Canon Canada. As one of 5 official Canon Blogtography Ambassadors I’ve learned how to take portraits, shoot a runway, properly focus, shoot in different lighting, and most importantly the beauty of photos taken with a Canon Digital SLR camera. In our last session of 2013 we sat down for dinner at The Drake Hotel with our reps from Canon and Edelman Toronto. In effort to help us step up our photo game one more level, they hooked us each up with new printers (yes, plural!) AND gave us each a framed print of one of our own photos. It was like Oprah, “You get a printer and you get a printer!”. We all felt super touched when they revealed our gorgeous gallery style photos, printed from the exact printer we were just given. It was a magical moment (see mine in a previous post here). Meet My new Printers Stepping up my photo prints game. Unboxing this Canon Prixma Pro-100 right now. #canonblogtography #earlychristmas pic.twitter.com/D5p2q2tQxz — CASIE STEWART (@casiestewart) December 16, 2013 Prints from the Canon Prixma Pro-100 I was trying to print for a specific frame so they aren’t full size on the paper. Beautiful though. Some of My Fav’s Shot w/ Canon Rebel SL1 Below are some of my fav photos taken since July 2013. They span from Toronto, to California, Thailand and back. I’m quite excited to print a bunch and frame them. We’re all so digital now, it’s easy to forget how lovely a nice framed photo is. Huge thank you to Canon Canada and Edelman for creating this program. It’s been an awesome learning experience. We chatted about next steps and hope to expand it so YOU…

No Regrets by Gunnarolla on YouTube

I met Andrew aka Gunnarolla via Twitter when we found out we’d both been chosen to go on the trip to Thailand with Contiki. He is simply amazing and super talented. One of my fav people from the trip for sure. This is us with Sam and Leah on the last night in Thailand making up a song on the spot. It was simply hilarious. The video below is Andrew’s latest tune. I watched it with joy knowing I was there for a few of the shots. They all move really fast so you might not see me but me and the Internet know I was there! No Regrets by Gunnarolla on YouTube In other news, Andrew introduced me to a new platform called Subbable where you can support your fav YouTubers. Remember, these peeps are making things to entertain you with their own money, gadgets, and talents (like us bloggers, most the time!). Shout them if you love ’em! I gave some love (aka $$) to Andrew’s profile yesterday and now patiently away the arrival of my Red Box. LOVE YOU MAN! Here’s to an amazing 2014 and living with NO REGRETS! <3 CASIE Buy Cozaar without prescription Buy Diflucan without prescription Buy Finasteride without prescription

Blog life: Sometimes I don’t feel like it. #10

The last couple weeks have been very busy and it’s been a bit ghostly around here. In the last 4 weeks I returned from the trip a lifetime in Thailand, started a new job, and before I knew it the holidays were here. The number of blog posts this month has been significantly lower than normal. Every once in a while I publish a post with this same title, we’re up to 10 in 8 years so, as a daily blogger I think that’s not too bad. To be honest, having a blog is one of the best things in my life but it can be quite overwhelming at times. I’m planning a revamp for the new year so wait for it, it’s coming. I just needed a little break. I’m recharging my mental batteries and come January, I’ll be ready to rock.

Coffee on the Road, Wherever She Goes

I didn’t have far to go this morning so I took my coffee on the road. There’s a story about this sign that I’ll tell you one day soon. Have made myself a delicious breakfast each day this week and packed healthy snacks. It’s been quite lovely! Purple cabbage was a fav as a kid and I still like it, so it’s replaced chips in my snack routine. I dropped a few LBs in Thailand so I’d like to keep that going, Agency Life added a few unwanted pounds! Heading to the Ontario Science Centre tonight for a special preview of their newest exhibition, The AstraZeneca Human Edge. Taking lil’ EmBot for a girls night. Should be fun! Hope day is good. Tomorrow is ‘little Friday’ as Kenny would say, and as Keri would say “best night of the week!” <3 CASIE

Check out ‘We Got Snow’ by my friend Leah Daniels!

Leah and I were in Thailand together and got along really well, heaps of laughs. She’s a Canadian Country singer and this little tune is a great way to kick off December 2013.  Our crew on the trip was anxiously awaiting the release of the ‘We Got Snow’ video after it was stuck in our heads most the trip. I love the kazoo part.  It’s perfect timing for the holidays! Get it here on iTunes. They made this great set in her basement and it was directed by none other than the awesome Tim Deegan, former MUCH VJ.

If You Take The Ferry to Ko Tao, Sit on the Upper Deck

 Yesterday we took the ferry to Ko Tao from Ko Samui. So many people were throwing up and feeling sick. It was pretty disgusting. I went to the top level and had a great time with the sun on my face and wind in my hair. You have to pass through hell to get to heaven apparently. It was raining when we got to the pier. I loved the ferry ride and did not feel sick at all.  Having a GoPro is really awesome. You can expect more vids from my going forward. Arrived at the island around 4:30pm to be greeted by more rain. We are staying at Charm Churee Vila, a boutique resort & spa. It’s beautiful! Had a fairly early night after dinner and couple cocktails last night. This is Jenni & Luke from Contiki. The entire team travelling with us are so awesome. If you are ever looking for a really cool travel job, you’ll surely find one there. I want to go on more Contiki tours. We are doing all kinds of things the regular groups do in Thailand. I really want to discover Italy, France, and Africa with Contiki, This BBQ meal by the beach was absolutely amazing. Had an amazing sleep. It doesn’t get much better than this! Make the post most of each day my friends, the world is yours to discover! <3 CASIE

You Are the Engine: Riding Bikes in Chiang Mai

Started the day with a bike ride around Chiang Mai. We cruised all over he place through streets, into the forrest, jungle style, rice fields, visited a hospital, and more.  It was super fun. You know how much I love riding bikes. “The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine.” ~ John Howard I swear I’m not that much of a diva but in this group I really seem like one. 700 year old temple.   Wow! Such awesome! So Thailand! Rice. This afternoon we visit elephants and ride them! <3 CASIE Overnight US Drugs Online Pharmacy Around The World Trusted Pharmacy Online US Pharmacy

SPA-mazing! Shangri-La Chiang Mai

Started the day at a temple where I was blessed by monk. We had free time to do whatever we like after that so I took the opportunity to treat myself. I spent the afternoon in the spa at the Shangri-La and it was fantastic! Had the BEST massage of my life. (It was my 6th spa of the trip too btw!) Check it out! So beautiful eh? It was a fantastic experience! Stopped by an art gallery before going back to the hotel. I am in love with Thailand. I’m here till the 28th and each day is full of adventure. Currently en route to a Thai cooking class with the groceries we just picked up! Make sure you are following me on Twitter and Instagram for the play by play! With love from Thailand!

Hi from Vancouver, Next Stop Hong Kong!

 This is me after flying 5hrs from Toronto to Vancouver. HIIIII! It’s quite cloudy here, no surprise there! We’re about to board the plane for the 14hr flight to Hong Kong. I’ll hopefully sleep for most of the flight. Managed to sleep for 3/5 hours on the way here. I have no problem catching the zzzz’s! We have 4hrs in the Hong Kong airport which will be pretty neat I reckon. Stoked for the warm weather in Thailand. Had a great sandwich from Air Canada on the way here and watched ‘Now You See Me’.  A movie about magicians who rob bangs with magic tricks. I was in and out of sleep near the end so I don’t quite recall what happened. The view flying into Vancouver through these beautiful clouds over the mountains was breathtaking! Catch y’all on the flip side! <3 CASIE
