My son running on the beach, enjoy the time you have with them when they are little you blink and they are all grown up. Keep running strong my son.
Love Dad.
Corporate Christmas
Corporate Christmas
Walking to work this morning I saw this Christmas tree infront of a local TV station. The Christmas tree makes the area look a little more festive. I got to thinking many people have taken a picture of this tree. I loved this Christmas tree yet I wanted to do something different, not just add a filter and upload it to Instagram. So I took a moment to walk around the tree to take it all in. I must admit I did feel a litte silly at first. I then saw the building in the background and like how the lines were all converging upwards. So angling myself and ignoring the people who were staring I took the photo.
…and yes added a filter and posted it to Instagram. 🙂

Patience for the Mirrored Lake
Mirror Lake
Recently I have found that I like to wake up early, before the world has come to life. Some days I am rewarded with images such as this.
When I arrived at the cottage I looked at the lake though how nice it would be to capture the lake when it is still. Every morning I woke up hoping to see this site and on the 3rd morning I was able to capture this image. It speaks to me about patience.
“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is “timing”
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”
― Fulton J. Sheen
Fall a Glorious Season
Fall A Glorious Season – Canadian Geese
Thanks giving weekend here in Canada allowed time for a walk in the park and the opportunity to capture the beginnings of a glorious season. When we hear the call of the Canadian geese overhead we know that it’s either spring or fall. In either case it is beautiful.
Tossing the Bouquet in 3, 2, 1

This gallery contains 3 photos.
Was at my brother in-law’s wedding and wanted to capture the bouquet toss in action. This shot requires some pre planning on my part so the first thing to do is ask the wedding coordinator to instruct the brinde to do a fake toss before she actually throws the bouquet. If you miss the toss […]
Playing in Post Silhouette

This gallery contains 2 photos.
Ever take a photo that just does not look quite right. When this occurs what I like to do is instead of tossing it in the trash bin, I use that image to experiment a little. Try something creative like add different filters in LightRoom or play with it in Photoshop. This is exactly what […]
Posing Wedding Rings
Aug 20
This gallery contains 5 photos.
Here are a few of my experiments for posing wedding rings. I will typically use a large aperture (small number) as it will blur the background and draw the viewer’s eyes to the rings. I also try to capture a feeling with the rings by adding the newlyweds. They are not the main subject of these shots […]
