Here is a photo montage of our last trip to New York. As always we had a fantastic time visiting our family. Most of the shots were taken on the iPhone 4. I used iPhoto 11 for the slide show and the track is a remix of Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman”.

Well, it is that time again. I took our son to his first skating lesson today. At 7 and being Canadian I’ll admit he’s a little behind the curve but he will catch up just like he did with swimming this summer. I love the way the HDR brought out the cuts in the ice. [...]

I shot this one a few weeks ago from the terrace on our apartment rooftop. The forrest fire smoke was making the sunsets particularly vibrant that week. Camera Canon EOS 10D Exposure 0.004 sec (1/250) Aperture f/13.0 Focal Length 50 mm ISO Speed 400

We went down to the new convention centre to watch the Canada day fireworks. This was the first post Olympic Canada day celebration and it was interesting to see just how much of that crazy Canuck patriotism was left. Well, I can report that there was much more wearing of our national colours, due to [...]

Now I am not going to give anything away here but I will say that the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Opening Ceremonies were much better that I thought they were going to be. I have seen most opening ceremonies in recent years and this one does more than hold it’s own. Sure there are some moments [...]

Here is what the downtown core looks like with just 5 days left until the games. There are tons of international athletes already wondering the streets in uniform and getting their pictures taken by the locals and tourists alike. In fact I ran into CTV Newsnet anchor Tom Clark at Japadog too and he informed me [...]

Walking around on Sunday you could feel the pre-Olympic fever that was beginning to crackle to life in the city. The downtown core was a buzz and the GE plaza was pretty jammed with skaters and spectators alike. I shot this looking down through the new glass domes that were part of the recent GE [...]

This was shot on the old set of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” in the Tabernas Desert, near Almeria Spain. The set has been turned into a pretty cheesy attraction but we stayed the night near by and felt compelled to pay homage to the western legend. This set and the surrounding desert was [...]
