The 2023 Blooper Reel

Since I’ve been getting back into the groove of creating posts again I had to include an age old tradition on this blog. For those who have been long time readers, my annual compilation of the worst photos is a much beloved update. One of which I’ve been creating since 2013!!! (Minus the two years I was on a creation hiatus – please see Proof of Life for more information on that.)  BUT WE’RE BACK BABY! This is smaller in size than usual BUT it’s a taste of what’s to come. Here’ the 2023 Blooper Reel.

MODUMN OUTFIT BLOOPER

 
In order to get to the actual ~nice~ photographs for the blog, I like to ham it up first. It’s a nice way to trick myself into feeling comfortable. Despite having done this for over a decade, it continues to feel odd getting in front of a camera. Here I am doing my best silent film star *gasp* face while showing off my favourite amber ring.

ORANGE & NAVY OUTFIT BLOOPERS

 
Sometimes hair flips don’t quite hit right. This face is like Blue Steel gone wrong because I am clearly tired. At least the leaves add some cheerful colour so they can distract from my ridiculousness . See the original post: How to Wear Navy and Orange.

GOOFY AT THE ROSSDALE POWER PLANT

 
A sure telltale sign that I am ready to conclude taking photos is when the crazy eyes appear and I throw a peace sign. See the original post: Inside the Rossdale Power Plant Edmonton

THE MAKING OF A BARBIE XMAS TREE

 
After hiding out in my basement for hours like a little gremlin making a Barbie Christmas tree, I had to show my work to close friends. There were slim pickings for bloopers this year on account of the lack of posts in general so this little gem has made the reel. See the original post: Barbie Christmas Tree

THE 2023 BLOOPER REEL

 
Sadly the 2023 Blooper Reel is much shorter than years past however, 2024 is already looking up in terms of outtakes. Rest assured next January will be a real treat and this post can serve as a snack until then.
