Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
I enjoy wandering around and taking photos in back lanes near my place, so that’s what I did one day just before the first snowfall in Winnipeg. I like the lines and angles in these shots. Enjoy! And by the way, if you're looking for something to do in Winnipeg on Monday, November 27th, you …
When it comes to photography I don’t have a style, other than being eclectic in my interests and using very little editing, most of the time. Minimalist photography is one of the many styles that I enjoy and concrete (cement) lends itself perfectly to it. When I wandered past this concrete barrier, along the sidewalk, …
This is the fourth 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 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 …

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 …
