i recently went to mexico. peurto vallarta to be exact. we stayed at our friends ulysee’s villa. (you can see it here) my friend made a music video for a band called FAN DEATH.
on the very first day there i slipped and fell into the river at the water falls with my camera in my hand. thus, from that point on my camera decided to be temperamental the rest of the trip. thankfully my friend jesse let me use his hasselblad for the rest of the week. it was wonderful.
here are some out takes:
my friend meghan recently got a job working with this really great canadian art/skate website called KING SHIT . Today they did a portfolio of me. which is pretty great cause ive never had anyting done like that before. They’ve also done entries on my friends jody,and tj and alana.
check there website. it has some pretty great stuff.
my official website is finally up and running! .. ok ok… it’s not really done yet but i’ve been dealing with nearly a year of server issues when it came to the domain name www.michelleford.ca…. but its all sorted out and hopefully by the end of the week it will be all done!!
look: www.michelleford.ca
i suppose on the brighter side, by returning back east under unfortunate circumstances, it also meant i got to hang out with my mom’s horse.
her name is nikki and she is a pinto/quarter horse. by next summer we’ll be able to ride her…
on august 29th my gramma (peggy ford) past away. as difficult as this has been for me and my family, the idea that she is now laid to rest and reunited with my grandfather, the one and only love of her life, (who pasted away 21 years earlier) makes me so incredibly happy that i cannot help but feel selfish being sad… she waited, selflessly, 21 years to ensure that her children, and gandchildren, were grown up, stable, and remained closer than ever, before leaving us and returning to my grandfather. and for this i’m grateful.
here are some photos of my family of the burial.(i should also mention that it was about 36 degrees out in montreal summer hummidity)
i’m trying to work on a new website but i’ve been having some techinal problems with my domain name an well building in general… but hopefully with in the next few weeks it will be up and running… but in case you feel the need to email me go right ahead…. michelle@ponyvicious.com
ok great!
i went traveling this summer for a lot of weeks. i traveled 3 continents 7 countries 11 cities 4000km in a 76 beetle and 12 connecting plane trips.

i met jacque at summer camp 7 years ago this summer. we’ve been best friends ever since. here are some photos i took of her last summer i finally got developed from her cabin on lake simcoe in ontario.
i recently spent several weeks driving through southern africa with my friends jasper and leah.
it seems that, as westerns, the only africa we are really ever introduced to is that of aids, poverty and warfare, but the thing is, africa is a continent full of beauteous vacant land accompanied by laughter and smiles of those who occupy it.
with this being said i really wanted to try and photograph a side of africa not many people get to see. the vacant landscape of africa.
okok.
here are a few of them i took on mamiya.
On june 21st at the old storyeum place in gastown my friends are hosting the 8th annual cheaper show.
you should go here. for more details.
