The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

Part of the submission for an exam I’m taking in Karate includes photos of myself – not an easy task since I hate being on the ‘wrong’ side of the camera, I’m picky as hell and very uncomfortable with being photographed. To combat this we…

Here are some pics from our time at the Esquimalt Bird Sanctuary just outside Victoria, BC. I love this high speed shot of a great blue heron fishing – the light was just right and I caught the droplets from his plunge. Another high speed…

This was one of the most magical parts of our trip to BC – a visit to a sanctuary for birds of prey on Vancouver Island, near the town of Duncan. I apologize for the image-heavy post, but these birds were so magnificent I couldn’t…

Whew! It’s a whopping 49 degrees with humidex here in Toronto. I confess, I love it. It hits your right in the face when you walk outside and despite knowing that I’ve got an hour and a half of Karate in this oven tonight I…

Finally we’ve gotten around to processing some images from our trip to BC. These images are from Goldstream National Park. The park contains stunning, giant, ancient trees, a beautiful waterfall and a scary high railroad trestle. Oh, and enormous maple leaves! This image of the…

This beauty came out of the kiln earlier this summer, but I haven’t been to the studio in a while to get it. I took the summer off but will be getting back in this September. **Post Update** – I finally decided to try selling…

I’d like to take this post to showcase a project I was very honoured to participate in – the shoot for Luminousity, designed and conceived of by my dear friend, the incredibly talented stylist, Dylan Dias. Dylan is amazing; he designs collections based around a concept –…

Tito and I are leaving tomorrow morning for BC – hooray! We have never been that far west, so we’re really looking forward to it. As a special bonus we’re getting to see our good friends in concert on Canada Day – the Tequila Mockingbird…

Just one photo today, and a hard-won photo it is. You wouldn’t believe how well guarded the steel mills in the Hammer are; I had to take this from beneath the skyway when it was quiet – around 2:30 am. A 5 stitch panorama with…

Look at this gorgeous couple =) Jessica and Mike are dear friends of mine who asked me to do their engagement shoot last weekend. I couldn’t have asked for more fun, relaxed, beautiful people to work with! We went to the Toronto Music Garden –…

One of my favourite mediums is coloured pencil – Prisma Colours in particular. I remember looking at a piece in high school that one of my best friends had done, and realizing how beautiful pencil crayons could be, how much potential for blending and shading…
