This is how you can keep a cold indefinitely : Take medicine Go to sleep Wake up feeling just a little bit better Conclude that you are totally healed and go do stuff (work, shop, or in my case, wander about in the cold with…
Last Saturday night we met up with our friends Johnathan and Beverly. What do people do on a warm Saturday, with an almost full moon, at midnight? We load up on camera gear, flashlights and Dairy Queen, and go stomping about in the woods looking…
Just a quick blog post while we’re checked in here at Sault Ste Marie – this is what I got after stacking all 116 of the shots from last night :)
Well, actually Day 1 was Tobermory, but we arrived so late at night and left so early that we really didn’t get to see much. This morning we drove down to the ferry docks to catch the Chichiman Ferry to South Baymouth. It was a…
Tito and I went north again last night – in hopes of aurora hunting after sunspot AR 1520 delivered a massive X-class flare directly to earth. We’re getting quite adept at finding these things ;) We got our best shots not 1.5 hours from downtown…
Blogging from Calgary tonight, and feeling totally beat. It’s 12:30 am according to my body, and I’m getting up at 4:30 to shoot the blue hour. However, I am travelling and shooting and being paid to do my 2 favourite things, so I can hardly…
First, and perhaps most importantly, check out spaceweather.com. Looks like a decent chance of aurora tonight, so if you live in a northern latitude, keep your eyes on the sky for the next few days! If it stays clear I think Tito and I will…
Star photography and northern light hunting is a favourite hobby of ours. I love long exposure shots (and that feeling when you hold your breath and wait to see what the photo will look like). Here are a few of my favourite images, and what…
This is the winter that wasn’t. At least, here in TO it wasn’t. We’re not used to this total lack of winter and last weekend Tito and I drove out in search of ice and snow because, dammit, we miss it. We ended up heading…
West Indians will never refer to taking a photo. They always say ‘take out the photo’ – implying that the photo is a thing somehow extracted from the camera via magic. I think they’re onto something. Oh, and of course I’m not a photographer, I’m…
I just got back from the east coast and I think I’ve taken some of my best photos ever. I’ve shot Canada coast to coast, and though the mountains in the west coast are lovely, give me the maritime provinces any day; the warmth of…
I love going to the EX – Tito and I have gone every year since we met – even the year I broke my hand and discovered that rides+broken bones=stupid amounts of pain ;) It’s a million times better than Canada’s Wonderland; no waits for…
