2002: Bill and I start making playlists for our friends. I learn that a perfect CD sleeve is exactly 12 cm square.
When I took this picture, from the front of a bus in Grimsby, Ontario, the driver asked to see it. Then he asked me to send it to him. "My supervisor has to see this."
I see we haven't made a new one in almost ten years. The new one is almost done.
For a few years I worked at Richview Library in Etobicoke. They had a great collection of Urdu and Hindi music CDs.
I enjoyed making covers for my favourites.
So much fun to pick the background and type colours with that eyedropper.
Love the colours and photos - great fun to do. Music is a great escape.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shell. Glad you liked.

I love the Cafe de Flore cover!
ReplyDeleteThe image was shot a long time ago, in the Gare du Nord train station in Paris, when I was still developing the courage take pictures of strangers.
ReplyDeletethe Richview Library? jeez, i grew up about a dozen blocks north of there & about a block east from Wincott Street. that library is where i came across a bpNichol book for the first time (martyrology 2) & now, over 45 years later, i'm still tryinna find the rest of what he did that the collected libraries in this country don't have!
