Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
When I go on a photo wander I’m always looking for something a bit different or something not so different, but seen in a new way. I often walk past a tall apartment building not too far from my place. It’s more posh than my building, it has huge balconies, a security office with a …
This post is a bit different from my usual posts. For one thing you will have to try and read my awful handwriting. It will work better on a computer or tablet. Have fun. Below is a page with 41 photos I took of signs. Screenshot Below is the explanation. Below is story. Below is …
People who walk anywhere with me when I’m carrying my camera must have patience. I’m always stopping along the way to take shots. One sunny cold February day, a friend and I were walking to have lunch at a restaurant about 20 minutes away and I spotted some indentations in the snow. So, of course, …
In late January, after a cold snap, the temperature rose to just above freezing, so I decided it was a good time to enjoy a photo wander. I love the look of shadows, especially in fresh snow. So, that’s what caught my eye. Every winter I take a new batch of photos involving dormant or …
I opened the blinds one cold January morning and there was the moon. I thought: It’s super cold for taking photos outside, so I’m going to take some through the window. The cheap little point and shoot camera can only zoom in so much, but I still like the results. Enjoy! If you go to …

We had lots of snow in Winnipeg in December. I threw a bunch of stuff in a bag and went outside. I stuck the stuff in different piles of fresh snow. Here are the results. Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing & Photos page (in the menu above) you can find links to …
A friend and I wandered about just before Christmas and I took lots of photos I don’t use a fancy camera because I prefer to just focus on what my eye sees. Sometimes I like to shake the little camera to make abstract shots. And I find it especially interesting to do when I’m outside …
😊 Who doesn’t like fresh fluffy snow? 😊 So, here you go. 😊 Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing & Photos page (in the menu above) you can find links to my published writing and photos, as well as information about my book, Glass Bricks (paperback & digital) published by https://atbaypress.com/books/detail/glass-bricks.
As you know, I like wandering down back lanes because backyards and the back of buildings give you a whole different feel for a neighbourhood. They're much more interesting. Much less groomed.
