TIDAL POOLS LARGE FORMAT Look at my new tidal pools with the family switched out. This one just keeps getting better. The final was 33.5 x 76 inch canvas print laminated with brush strokes so it really had texture and looked like a 3D painting, which is what I strive for in all my work. It was also gallery wrapped over 1 and 1/4 inch stretcher bar. It was a non mirrored gallery wrap. The actual

Family Photos in White Rock with Tidal Pools

2011-08-25T17:44:00.000-07:00

I had so much appreciation for this image at the Art Fair at Michaelson's in July, that I wanted to present it again with an added bonus. As suggested at the show, I am personalizing this shot by putting your friends, family and love ones INTO this image. This 33.5 x 73.70 inch laminated gallery wrapped canvas has a clear acrylic coating brushed onto it to give it a 3D painterly feeling. I

Thank God, this season finally started. After an interminably long, brutal winter, the sun finally decided to shine for a few days, although it is still being shy. This year in the pacific northwest is a real reminder that we live in an northern rain forest. Cold, wet and grey. So, on the first opportunity which happened to be the summer solstice, June 21st, I jumped into the sky and flew

I suppose I could turn on the tv and find out what's happening to the nucks. another knucklebiter. no score in the 3rd. anyway, I had to rationalize my day so as not to feel too depressed about not bringing home a boat load of money.

Aerial Photos of Sunshine Coast & BC Golf Courses

2011-04-04T12:53:00.000-07:00

After 5 months of feeling stuck with an insurmountable obstacle, I began to tackle organizing my photo data base. Oh yeah, I am sure that a lot of photogs start out with one. But that is not me! I wait 4 years, 2 messed up clones and 2 computer hard drives to finally get around to it. It is a great feeling, delete, delete, delete. So slowly, but surely, new galleries are going up on the website.

Cherry Blossoms in the Spring in Vancouver

One of the things I am looking forward to after 4 years of snowbirding, is to witness the cherry blossoms coming to bloom in and around Vancouver. They are the most inspiring sign of life and new growth. They jam the streets and the skies with bursting pink fluffiness. Vancouver has been celebrating its Cherry Blossom Festival for some time now. This year, 2011, Vancouver's Bi-centannial, it

Leanings and Learnings 2006-2011- What Happened to Me

2011-01-20T12:05:00.000-08:00

What happened to me? Well, I did recreate myself, but I found out, I wasn't too far off my perfect life from my starting point. Followers and friends will remember I packed in the executive life (I was only 2 years at it, the rest was artist/entrepreneur, read: struggling with low paying jobs and scant self employment) in 2006 and started traveling North America and exploring the raw food

Welcome to the new Blog

2011-01-16T21:51:00.000-08:00

Here's what I did. I resurrected my old blog Raw Traveling, changed the name to Ellen Atkin Media, put some new graphics, colours and designs in. Made a lot more sense. I just couldn't get the hang of the new wordpress blog and I just don't have the same zeal for creating blogs as I did when i started this one. So, instead of throwing it out, I recreated it. After all, I did put a lot of hard

Deconstructing Movements Toward Oneness

2010-03-25T21:08:00.000-07:00

For years now I have been intrigued with what has been termed, “the shift”, coined by the new age movement. At the same time, I have been interested in secret government and elitist agenda theories within the new world order movement. Both movements are leading up to some impending uprising or downfall which will bring forth “one world”. The shift loosely refers to some cosmic happening that

Check out the before and after pics of my cleanse. I am coming off of it. On day 13 now... adding more calories daily, but still taking the cleansing formula. I am still doing the green drink around noon, but have added a small bowl of sauerkraut, some tomatillo soup and an avocado. Feeling stronger. Over all I feel like my old self again. I am really just where I usually am. I think I will

2010-03-11T09:07:00.000-08:00

This is day 7 of a modified intestinal cleanse I put myself on. After all the excesses after 3 months in La Ventana, I needed a shift back to higher awareness of myself, my body and my surroundings. The first picture was taken a few days ago. The one below was 7 weeks ago. I suppose that I didn't have a clear intent heading back to La Ventana, which may be why I found myself in a spiritual

I can hardly apply myself to my business and whenever I do, it seems totally pointless.

Technically, I don't celebrate the holidays, any of them, but, if the spirit moves me, I will relent here and there. Just being where I am is a celebration in itself. For those of you unaware, I am back in my Mexican oasis near La Paz in Baja Sur. I had such a great time last year and the opportunity was here again for me, so I didn't spend too much time figuring I would just return. I live in
