I’ve finally booked a vacation, just me and my camera and some knitting. Yes, not even resin shall accompany me on this on. Maybe a few books. I’m leaving for Italy on Thursday, this time for the Amalfi Coast. Here are some of my favourites,…
During the day I’m the art director/photographer for a tiny, busy, design and communications firm (read: advertising). One of my favourite gigs is aerial photography. I’ve done a lot of aerial work and, though it’s not for the faint of heart, aerials are definitely some…

I’ve been dying to take the Lee Filter Big Stopper to the Leslie Street Spit since I got it – finally managed it last weekend! Here are some of my favourites :)
I just learned a little more about the strange clouds I photographed on Monday night after the thunderstorm in Toronto. Here’s what wikipedia has to say: Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus (meaning “mammary cloud” or “breast cloud”),[1][2] is a meteorological term applied to a cellular…
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…
