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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I shot this in between the massive days of rain why had this month. I like the slight blur that the Hipstamatic app added to the shot. For some reason I love the way leafless tree look on “film”. Camera – iPhone App – Hipstamatic Photo Credit © 2004 JP Holecka

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 [...]
