My name is Iris and I am from tiny and spectacular Peterborough, ON.
This blog is about: femme visibility, best friends, style, knits & crafts, love, and a sassy golden retriever named Geraldine.
Best femmes stick together.

Thanks for your artful use of my photo of Ondaatje. Quill and Quire Magazine had that picture as an example of writer photographs “approaching art” and described my series as “bohemian louche” images! I guess you got the same impression. I have an extensive collection of these with Atwood, Layton, Bernie, and Gwen MacEwen that I took in 1970 when they were in their glory of youth. I sell had printed archival prints of these that I make in my darkroom from time to time. If anyone is interested in acqiring one for themselves or as a gift they can e-mail me at shelly.grimson@sympatico.ca
