Last year Dana and I really wanted to take the 1000 Island Cruise from Gananoque to Boldt Castle and back. We thought it would be a wonderful adventure for us to do as a family, especially in the Autumn when the leaves were changing colours. With everything that happened with moving into…
It’s been one year to the day that we lost Gord Downie. He was Canada’s Poet. The Tom Thompson of the Music world. Lead singer in the greatest rock band, The Tragically Hip. My love for the Hip’s music spans most of my teen and adult years to date (and for anyone keeping score – that’s a lot of time!). Gord…
Another trip down the Ninth Concession just outside of Westport Ontario yielded some amazing new pieces of art. I love using the Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) technique along side a fogged lens, some double (and triple) exposures, and a lot of luck, to create something unique (at least to my eye)…
Standing on Foley Mountain watching a storm approach Westport was a sight to be seen. The heavy rain clouds I saw approach Bedford Mills earlier in the afternoon led me to believe there was a system of storms coming towards the area. While others might have said: “good time to hunker down and hide away…
My wife Dana has been my muse since the day I met her. I mean really, isn’t it every photographer’s dream to have a subject as beautiful as her to photograph? We sometimes joke that I’m her “Instagram Husband” but it truly isn’t to that extreme. Plus, Dana’s pretty good at finding mirrors to shoot into…
We’re back with another collection of designer suits and outerwear from Stars / Strauss. I’ve been shooting with them now for the past 7+ years and it’s been just an amazing journey seeing where they have come as a business and doing my part to help promote that. In a super competitive men’s fashion…
I was feeling pretty good about the art that I was creating. Maybe a little too good. The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa Ontario holds an annual event called RMG Exposed where they ask artists to submit works and then a jury of art influencers select pieces that will be sold in an art…
Making progress with my photo impressionism. Driving down another local road, I found rolling hills and glowing fields of amber and orange from the late day sun. It was a perfect time to stop and not just admire the beauty, but interpret it in my own way. I love using movement in my photographs. It can not only be…
My Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) work has been expanding in both scope and results this past month. I’ve been taking heavy inspiration from Monet and Turner (as always), with a little J.E.H. MacDonald mixed in. More recent artists such as Valda Bailey, Chris Friel and Andy Gray have helped in shaping…
