I took this photo quite some time ago, and for some reason just left it sitting on my hard drive ever since. I came across it today and decided it was about time is got its chance to be seen, so here it is. :-)
My girlfriend and I recently took a road trip to celebrate our anniversary, and one of the towns we passed through isn’t even a town at all anymore. It’s a small ghost town in south-eastern BC that apparently was once one the the largest and most prosperous towns around during [...]
I am happy to announce that prints of my photos are now available for sale in The Limelight Shop. This has been a long time coming, and to be honest I am not quite sure why I did do it sooner. People see my photos and they always ask why [...]
Time for another photo post. I decided to go looking through the archives again and I found this one of some traffic cones set up to block a street in downtown Vancouver. It’s an older photo of fairly mundane subject matter, but I am very pleased with the composition. As [...]
One of the most interesting encounters I had in the Dominican Republic was with this Gentleman. He was a “hustler” for one of the shops at the marketplace I visited, and he had a rather interesting offer; after determining that i was Canadian, he expressed his love for Canada, and [...]
I have been more than a little slow in getting any of the photos I took in the Dominican Republic this February published on this site. I had some technical complications. Namely, my laptop decided that the moment I opened up Photoshop upon returning from my trip would be the [...]
I made a sort of un-official New Years resolution to take more photos, hence the sudden binge of photo posts. This time I was having some fun with HDR, a much over used, and over abused technique. However, I think it suits the subject matter of Victoria’s Fan Tan Alley [...]
I snapped this one out the front window from the back seat. Turned out pretty good, all things considered. :) As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
Today we went on an off road adventure to the Virgin Falls just outside Tofino. The lighting wasn’t quite right by the time we got there for good shots of the falls, but I did snap this one of the water below that I am quite pleased with. As [...]
I am currently enjoying an awesome vacation with my girlfriend in Ucluelet, BC. Today we took a drive up the highway to Tofino and stopped and Chesterman Beach where I took this photo. The are is probably one of the most photogenic in British Columbia, which is saying a lot [...]
I recently had the opportunity to be the official photographer for a fundraiser held by the Semihamoo Animal League (SALI), This image was my favourite of the evening. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
I am falling behind on the updates again, but this time I have a very good reason. I have been extremely busy behind the scenes doing a fair bit of research and paperwork. Why all the paperwork? Well, I am happy to announce that as of August 15th, 2010, The [...]
This photo was taken years ago with my old Canon A95. I usually have a policy of not listing my equipment but I am making exception because that was my first digital camera, and it’s the first “nice” camera I ever owned. It was stolen out of my car while [...]
This is the entrance to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese garden in Vancouver. It is such a peaceful place, always very quiet and tranquil, even when it is busy. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
I admit it. I have been guilty of this activity. I am human just like the rest of us, and frankly, the internet is addictive. Off and on I have frequented a certain photography forum. Each an every time it has been for the same reasons; I have been bored, [...]
In the end photography is about capturing light. Some would argue that the lighting is in fact more important than the subject. Personally I differ, I think that it depends on several factors. Some genres of photography are subject centered, for instance, with any sort of documentary photography capturing the [...]
I have been submitting my photos to Shutterstock.com for four years now. In a month I will close my account with them and never submit another photo again. Here’s why; sometime over the next few weeks I expect to finally crawl over the minimum payout threshold of $75. I do [...]
I went on a little day trip to Harrison Hot Springs the other day. It was mostly overcast which limited good photo opportunities, but the old brick building around the spring was a great subject for a dull day. I still can’t quite figure out the purpose of this little [...]
I have received some feedback from people in regard to the fact that I don’t normally give any information about the photos I post. Now it has been my point of view that the image stands alone. One the other hand, I do understand why some people might be curious [...]
Well, it certainly looks like it to me! Vancouver, British Columbia. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
