Happy Holidays

Not much time for posting these days - but it seems like I always come back around during the holidays. I hope you’re all staying safe and having as good of a h...

Last days of vacay

One week certainly isn’t enough time to recoup after all this craziness. Fortunately I can take vacation - but still, I should have taken a month. Viibrant Cafe...

Riding

Not the prettiest of pictures, no reflections etc. But I earned this one. Over 1000m if elevation and sore legs. It wasn’t without a couple of stops. Glad I bro...

River walks

Since we can’t go to Hawaii - we’re spending more time at home in the Rockies. And that means river walks. What you don’t see here is the pasty white body of a ...

Smoke on the water

The Rockies are no strangers to fire, and this summer isn’t any different. There’s a biggish one burning about 50km away at the moment. Giving the sky a misty l...

Another day another mountain

It’s been hot in the city over the last few weeks. Hot in the day, hail in the evening. Typical Alberta summer. But I won’t complain - beats winter 1000000 to 1...

More in the mountains

Trying to get out to the hills a little more. Summer is passing fast and it’ll be winter before I know it. Overall a lovely day. And since we’ve been so trapped...

20 km and my legs are jelly

The hike to Ribbon falls is a long one. 10km in and 10km out. The grade isn’t steep - just relentless. It’s a good one though. You follow the creek almost the w...

Puppers

She’s my pal. Kiku the fierce. She hates me taking pictures of her - so I generally have to bribe her. There’s something about the camera she hates. When there’...

How succulent

Spring has sprung in our backyard. Finally. And given last week we had snow - it’s a minor miracle. I love seeing the green sprout - and making my backyard a ti...

Falling for you

I’ve shown some spring, some winter and summer photos. But fall in yyc is usually so short we don’t get a chance to take many. The yellow and green is pretty - ...

Playa del Coucha

Until it started pushing down with rain - we got a light taste of summer this week. It feels different, but it’s been nice to be able to sit out on the stoop. I...

A little bit of winter

Even though the winters are long in Calgary, it’s not excuse not to get out and shoot. We often go walking as a family just for the purpose of photography (summ...

Clean lines

I wonder what it’s going to be like after the pandemic. Small, seemingly simple gestures like a hug or handshake will be off limits. We’ll be wary of getting to...

From the mountain tops

I don’t feel like typing much today. Long week, and tired of being stuck in the house. I’ll have to dream of getting those mountain shots. Soon. Soon. Enjoy the...

Back to Japan

I love Japan. No secret there - particularly the pops of orange around the many temples. It creates incredible opportunities for reflections and lightness in th...

Winter wonderland?

Thankfully we’re almost past the snows. That said every once in a while when I’m done cursing...we have some beautiful days. I say almost past the snow...as we ...

More London more better

I just couldn’t get low enough for this shot. I wanted all the reflections :). That lonely leaf just resonated. There are so many great scenes to shoot in Londo...

A time for reflection

Sitting at home, thinking about the world. It seems like a great time for reflection. I wonder if we’ll go back to the way things were. Even if we can? I’m sure...

Rocky Rockies

When the parks aren’t open and we can’t go to the mountains we can only dream of going for a hike. It’ll be a bit til the mountains open again - but on the brig...
