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 [...]

Last week I spoke at a The Ontario Fermentors Guild AGM on the use of social media for small business. The hotel that I was staying at was around 20 minutes away from Niagara Falls and the I needed to check off another todo on my life list of things to do. Item number 54 [...]

Well, it’s not easy to change the early morning behaviour of my six year old, Olympics or not. Trying to get the young fella to “get cracking” so we could make it out to see the torch be run down Denman street was no easy task. I awoke to the sound of helicopters that were [...]

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 [...]

Well it hit today. The 12th Annual International Photo Competition edition of Photolife Magazine that I was lucky enough to place fifth in the category of “People, Family, Friends, Strangers” I had found out that the image had placed back in December and I have been eagerly anticipating it’s arrival on the news stand shelves [...]
