Project

There are a few reasons why I started this blog.  Partly to showcase my other work, share a few thoughts, and keep clients up to date...

  

From the moment I started though, I made a conscious decision not to divulge much, if any, personal information.  Not only because blogs like mine are an "open" public forum, (though 90% still prefer to comment via email and not directly on this blog) but simply put - it's just not my style or nature. 

That's why all I can say is that I'll finally be starting a very personal photo project I've been planning for a while.  

I will share some info though - my new website (and blog) URL will be posted pretty soon!!!

Print Me

As I was going through my archives, I came across or should I say rediscovered  (since I forgot they existed), a bunch of images in a folder titled "b+w, to be printed."  I know - what an uninspiring/non-descriptive title.

People assume I must have many of my own prints framed and hanging throughout my place. Just ask my friends about the empty frames hanging on the walls!

Umbrella

While watching the news earlier today, the meteorologist informed the viewers that there's "possible" wet weather on the way, and "we should have our umbrellas ready."  (Mind you, this is one of the only jobs where you can be wrong 100% of the time and not worry about getting fired!)  Can't think of anymore - are there any?

Therefore, with the cold & unpleasant weather approaching/already here - perhaps this photo of umbrellas is more to your liking!    

Starting Early

I heard this quote earlier today and I thought I'd share it. "The true lens of the camera is your own heart" - Yousuf Karsh.

It made me realize that my favorite photographers, including the few weddings photographers who inspire me, are all trendsetters in one way or another. So shoot in your own style and capture moments that excite you!

BTW, I've noticed that a lot of wedding guests are now bringing their own cameras! 

Happy Birthday Deb!

Anticipation

Some of my favorite shots are usually when all eyes are on the "centre of attention".  This moment creates an opportunity to capture some great reactions.  The moment the bride enters, everyone forgets about everything - including the quiet photographer with his camera.     

Sights and Sounds

My brother-in-law Rob (from Digital Samurai) did a great job capturing the sights and sounds from our weekend break.  He just posted this cool short video, so check it out.
