It has become tradition, I suppose, for myself and photographers around the world to look back at yet another year of shooting and present what we feel was our best work over the course of the year. I try not to limit it to my top ten shots or whatever, but try to highlight photos…
Well… Christmas is over, but the holidays continue… at least for me as I’m off work with the boys for another whole week. It seems like Christmas this year just flew by. After opening presents with the family and having some breakfast, we headed down to my brothers place where we had a fantastic turkey…
Every photographer has a gear wish list. We’re always looking for the best gear or simply to try something different. Below is a list of cameras that I have been drooling over for a while now. One of the cool things about shooting film is the variety of cameras out there to choose from. Recently,…
Many years ago, an old high school friend contacted me through Instagram asking if I’d be interested in buying his Nikon F100. I had just purchased a Nikon F80 at the time and wasn’t really in the market for one. Fast forward about three years, and I reached back out inquiring if the camera was…
I once tried a 365 project… that is… taking a photo a day, for an entire year. I only made it to about day 40 before giving up. I didn’t have any real focus or goal to achieve. So when my friend Steve asked if I’d be interested in doing a 100 Days Project, I…
This past weekend our little guy turned 4 years old. We held a small gathering of friends to celebrate and just get together for the holidays. Despite the snow storm, most people still braved the weather and the drive to our place. It seemed like the number of children out numbered the adults, and they could…
The same day we got our Christmas tree and went to Lang Pioneer Village, we also attended the Omemee Santa Claus Parade. This was the first year one of our boys got to be in the parade so he was super excited. He had the choice of going with his school, his daycare or Beavers, but…
Back in November, three friends and I embarked on a weekend adventure to see the Detroit Lions play the Jacksonville Jaguars. We had accommodations in Windsor and took the $5 shuttle bus across the border to the game. Ford Field doesn’t have a large parking area for people to tailgate, but rather several smaller lots…
I feel like I start every blog post with “A couple weeks ago…“, but the fact is that I don’t always get around to posting right away or getting photos ready. That being said, a couple weeks ago we cut down our Christmas tree for this year. Last year we found a place just north of Port Hope…
Back at the end of November we took the family to the Santa train in Uxbridge… and yes… it’s as awesome as it sounds. It’s basically a 1 hour train ride along the York-Durham Heritage Railway from Uxbridge to Goodwood and back again. The train is festively decorated on the inside and was entertained by musicians playing…
