“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt

there was an incredible moon last night...I didn't have a camera and had to get to class, but it was just coming up, was so big, there were these great clouds, and it had this orange tint to it. I hoped it might do something similar tonight so I would have a second chance....unfortunately

jumped off the bus at bayshore, turned around and saw this. only had the point and shoot in the purse, but I actually kind of like the noise. handhel
Night shoot round II
8:11 PM
I've been out on a few night shoots with the photo club at work and it's been really productive for me. I'm not sure why but I just seem to be in my element at night, even though the temperature can drop down and it gets chilly fast! I"m posting the second night's shots since I'm kind of more excited
Happy Hallowe'en!
10:28 PM
Hallowe'en is hands down my favourite holiday. Who wouldn't love a holiday where you are supposed to defy social conventions and let out your inner *insert entity here* (devil, pussycat, monster, superhero, etc.)? I would have gone to shoot more of the neighbourhood, but wouldn't dare miss any of the
no worries...i'm still alive
11:07 PM
Hey guys...is anybody still out there reading this? If there is, I'll consider it a minor miracle (and owe you a huge thanks) since I've totally been neglecting my blog. Here's a composite I put together the other day--one shot from the garden and one shot from just outside my work. Nothing too special,
Algonquin
7:11 PM
Hmm...Well about a week has elapsed so I guess I am due for an update. These shots are from immediately after the Prince Edward County trip. We were in Algonquin for 5 days. I saw some pictures of another route that looks just awesome and think I might try to do it for the end of the year...can't
Prince Edward County

Here are a few shots from my recent stay in PEC (the pictures don't really go together...). That place is so perfect....any place that combines birds, beach and wine is up there in my books. winery cat (Hillier Estates) the only thing better than going to Sandbanks is spending the night

july 21 lightning
10:50 PM
Lightning is one of those things I have been wanting to shoot, but it's kind of hard to arrange, you know? Last night was a bizarre night; there was lightning and huge clouds but not a drop of rain...perfect. I was a little worried about the camera getting a jolt (stand outside with a metal tripod

almost there
12:06 PM
Only 2 classes left of my lighting class. I'm taking a minute to post a shot I took last night for one of my last assignments. Sometimes (most of this time) you have this vision and find yourself scratching your head and fiddling with the camera until you get it just right, and sometimes it just doesn't
the cummings
2:24 PM
It's the last few weeks of the course I'm in right now and crunch time so I've been pretty busy shooting, editing and printing. We've been doing lots of portraits in the studio and I've been loving it. It's a challenge, but it's so rewarding to shoot people because they can give you feedback and they
I'm currently working on a catalogue and promotional material for a new outdoor furniture company. So far I have done a first round of shooting and will have to go back to shoot some of the newer pieces. The artist/craftsman is Ben Laughlin. He's an OCAD graduate and has worked in the construction,
spring rocks my socks
1:01 PM
Even though winter was short this year, it was still long enough to make me forget how awesome warm weather is. It seems this happens every year...every time spring rolls around I think I should take off to somewhere with a little more...heat. Don't get me wrong; winter is good too. It could just be

insides out (Tulip Festival)
9:00 PM
Every year it's a struggle to get a great, really unique shot at Ottawa's annual tulip festival. At a cetrain point, after thousands and thousands of tulips, they all start to look the same. here's my effort this year. i'm pretty pleased. the petals of this tulip had already started to fall off, leaving
something new
12:52 AM
I've been meaning for some time now to try HDR photography. It seemed to be a little more work than it's worth, and I had mixed feelings about it. Well, I tried it out, and it's not difficult at all. And I am convinced that there are some situations where it really is advantageous....as long as you
postcards from Almonte
9:30 PM
Today I had the pleasure of attending a vernissage in Almonte that one of my fellow TC Photo Clubbers, Bob Boisvert (or as I know him, Captain Bob) participated in. Exhibiting is a significant achievement for any artist and the vernissage is a great way to celebrate all the hard work that goes into
