Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
I never met a shadow I didn’t like, but when the sun comes in at a certain angle the shadows on the sidewalk are the best. I caught these shadows dancing along the sidewalk a few blocks from my place in Winnipeg. You can pretend you were walking there, too. My book, Glass Bricks, is …

I was sitting reading, in a chair facing the window, when I looked up. The blue sky and cumulus clouds looked so beautiful I thought I should share. I took a photo every five minutes or so to show you how the sky changed. My book, Glass Bricks, is out (since April, 2021) and now …
It’s so great to wander about looking at the green plants growing along the sidewalks in Winnipeg after such a long horrible winter. Enjoy! My book, Glass Bricks, is out (since April, 2021) and now available worldwide in/through your local bookstores or from https://atbaypress.com/books/detail/glass-bricks. The digital version is available if you email the publisher. And if you …
I don’t even want to discuss the weather we had in March and April, in Winnipeg, except to say I decided it was easier to take some photos indoors. I used those photos to setup my May blog posts, in advance. I’m hoping as you are reading this, the weather has improved. So, enjoy my …
These are my hands, not so strong as they once were. A number of years ago, I noticed the tip of the pinkie on my right hand was leaning left. Other fingers started to bend and my knuckles started to bulge. Then I noticed pain in my knuckles and in an old volleyball injury at …

This is the south side, heading in. I ‘LOVE’ it. I love an underpass: the rusty steel beams and rivets, the dirt, the drips, the graffiti, etc. So, when I wandered into one of my favourite underpasses, below the train tracks and SW/SE Transitway at Osborne St, in Winnipeg, I took a lot of photos. …

It’s funny that I often love stark photos. It certainly isn’t how I like to live. My apartment is filled with a variety of books and photos and other things—no blank walls here. When I look around I want my eyes to have a lot of choice, lots of places to land. It also surprises …
When Winnipeg has the most snowfall it’s had in years, the snow piles up a bit. It also takes time to melt away. I took these photos right at the end of February, before temperatures started to warm up a bit. It’s now mid-March, so some of the snow has disappeared, but it'll be while …
We’ve had a long cold snowy winter in Winnipeg, this year. Some will say that we always have that in Winnipeg, but we have had more snow than we have over the past few years and more super cold days. Though I dress for the weather, it’s still hard to feel enthusiastic about taking photos …
