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…
Shot with the Canon 7D and the Canon 100mm prime f2.8, at the Esquimalt Bird Sanctuary in Victoria BC.
Continuing my journey through the photography from BC I found images of Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver. Here is the blurb from the park site: The second most visited park in Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Park, is a major draw for nature enthusiasts and view-seekers. Queen Elizabeth…
I love revisiting an old shoot that I just never got around to processing. It’s like finding clothes that you bought and never wore in the back of your closet. Our trip to BC last year is like that; I’ve processed it in bits and…
This piece is probably the most popular piece of visual art I have ever made: The piece is called ‘The Red Girl’ and her name is Dinah. This is how the piece came about. In 2007 my mom had to undergo surgery and it was…
Has anyone else noticed how much the nature of work has changed for them in the past few years? This summer my boss, and most of my clients, worked while on vacation. A few weeks ago I was sick; I worked from home. I take…
Mono Cliffs is a provincial park located in the town of Mono, about 1.5 hours drive from Toronto. The park is part of the Niagara Escarpment and contains a portion of the Bruce Trail. Tito and I decided to drive up for a day hike…

Tito and I drove to Sault Ste. Marie on the weekend – a pretty ambitious endeavour since the Sault is about 9 hours from Toronto (13 if you stop, as we tend to do, for every interesting looking thing you see along the way). Before I…
As a traveler, and a photographer, I know a good landscape when I see it. I’ve shot the Amazon jungle, the ruins of Italy, the English countryside, the temples of India, the gardens of Japan, the Andes, the Cloud Forests of Costa Rica and countless…
La Mezquita in Cordoba, Spain has a rich history. I’m going to take a quote here from wikipedia, who explain it much better than I could ;) The site was originally a pagan temple, then a VisigothicChristianchurch, before the UmayyadMoors converted the building into a…
I backpacked through Spain in 2009 in what was probably my least-planned trip ever – I got a rail pass, and winged it. I stayed in Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Cordoba, Cuenca, Granada and Seville. Spain is gorgeous and textured and culturally rich and would take…
