This was shot early morning in the Spanish town of Cadaques near the French border. The picturesque town is one where Dali used to vacation as a boy and then later on returned and painted many non-surreal paintings. This is where we spent our last days on our trek through Spain and can’t recommend it [...]

I was reading about tomorrow’s Polar Bear swim here in the frigid waters of Vancouver and that got me remembering this shot I took the other year in the Mediterranean. I like this shot because of the moment that was captured between this man and oblivious woman. Checking out the other gender in other countries [...]

I just discovered this little camera app that has really been designed to be fun to use. There are quite a few iPhone camera apps that either emulate old film grains/formats and vintage or Lomo looks written already. Most come up short for one reason or another. The Hipstamatic [iTunes link $1.99] takes the vintage [...]

I shot this photo around this time last year. It had been just as cold and then wham! It dumped a huge amount of snow on us. I walked down the just as the snow had finished and snapped this. It’s actually a composite of a few different exposures. Not HDR but layered and manually [...]

Friday started of pretty crap to be honest. I got attacked by a spelling Nazi and was made to feel like shit for accidentally letting three typos get through on my professional side of life. I should not have let it but for some reason I did. I should know by now not to let [...]

I downloaded the much hyped version of Photoshop for the iPhone today and wow what a disappointment. The number one photo manipulation software in in the world for desktops and they produce a hobbled app that is not worth the price of free. Sure it has the following: crop, rotate, and flip, exposure, saturation and [...]

So I just heard about this amazing site called Blurb.com. I guess they have been around since 2005 and sold 300,000 titles in 2008 alone. Who knew….Well I guess 300,000 people did and now there is 300,001 that think it’s cool. It is a site and software that lets anyone publish a book with little [...]

When I announced the contest I was not sure how many would actually respond. My blog is not the biggest in the way of traffic after all. I am happy to announce that there were enough to make it an actual contest. There were all kinds and it’s pretty amazing to see what this great [...]

Hey you happy Canadian snappers. On Canada Day 2009 while you are out and about with friends, family or just alone with a bottle of your favorite booze navel gazing about being Canadian. Why not take your camera and shoot what you think it means to be Canadian. It’s totally up to you and it [...]

I discovered this free service today that lets you create badges of your most intersting photos acording to most viewed, most commented and favored. It’s free and when you click through it’s nice to see your photos on black instead of the usual white background that Flickr uses.
