Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
One evening, a little while ago, a big thunderstorm was trying to happen, the type where clouds build and shift dramatically and the thunder is loud, but nothing much actually happens. For someone, like me, who loves thunderstorms that can be a bit of a disappointment. But I enjoyed the clouds and I hope you …
On our way to lunch, one sunny day, we took a shortcut through the area behind the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) and I got some shots of various buildings, including the back of the new addition to the gallery. I love architecture and, even though I don’t necessarily want to hangout or live in minimalistic …

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 is the second 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 always like the late afternoon light in my kitchen in early March. It’s the angle of the afternoon sun as the days grow longer. When the sun hit the kitchen one day, I started making hand shadows and, of course, I had to take a few photos. So here they are! My book, Glass …
I first noticed this fence because of the lovey blue colour, then the angles. I also like how the snow, some melted into ice, is caught up in those angles and the way the winter leaves and branches poke through. So, enjoy! My book, Glass Bricks, is available through your local bookstores, Amazon (paperback/digital), or …
Like I’ve said before, at this time of the year, after a few months of snowy cold days with fewer hours of daylight, I’m ready for spring. There are things I like about February, though, no matter the temperatures. The angle of the sun changes and the sun feels warmer. The amount of daylight time …
