Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
I wandered about my apartment building one day and took photos of things that were kind of ugly and maybe a bit messy. When I edited them I just overexposed them. And I think they look kind of pretty now. Enjoy! My book, Glass Bricks, is available through your local bookstores, on Amazon (paperback/digital), or …
One evening, I saw a strong flash of lightning through the blinds on my living room window. I took the camera out to the balcony and set it on continuous shot, hoping to catch some photos of lightning. Foiled once again! Not one flash once I was out there, just loud thunder, and then heavy …

This is the third season in a series of graphic stories, which I photographed and wrote starting in 2015 or so. I serialized each season of adventures by creating daily posts on Facebook. They developed a bit of a following, haha, and I have now decided to put them together as blog posts on this …
I love big flowers that are made up of what looks like a bunch of little flowers, so I love hydrangeas. I went in close. Didn’t worry when the wind made the shots blur a bit. Love how the light makes some petals go almost translucent. Enjoy! My book, Glass Bricks, is available through your …

Like I said in my last post, I have a new little camera. It’s a small step up from my old one, but still my style: small and simple. So, I’m playing with it and learning more. Here are some macro shots, that aren’t perfect, but I like them. Enjoy! My book, Glass Bricks, is …
I bought a new camera. It’s not too fancy. It's still a small one, the way I like cameras to be, that can fit in a pocket while I’m walking or dangle from my wrist when I’m riding my bicycle. The zoom is a bit better. I’ve been learning more about it. Playing with it. …

This isn’t a big patriotic post, though I think even with some of our problems here, Canada's a pretty good place to live. I do like our unique flag and I love its colour. So, when I was walking past a flag pole on a windy day and I liked the way the flag was …
