Happy Anniversary

Yesterday was our tenth wedding anniversary. To celebrate, Nikki and I are putting everything else on hold and taking a couple of days to head out on day trips. First on our list is the African Lion Safari near Hamilton, Ontario. We’ve been several times over the last decade. Just the two of us together,

Getting There

I have spent a significant part of my life on the road. Travelling from the tip of Scotland to the other tip of England every week, staying overnight where the whim took me (expense accounts are wonderful), I learned that getting there, as they say, is half the fun. Add international travel to a dozen

Raptors Revisited

Nikki and I celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary this week. We will be taking a few days off to mark the occasion. Some day trips are in order, to get us away from the computers and into the fresh air. On the table for consideration is another visit to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. We have

IOTW: Train Station

The old train station in Port Colborne sits between West and King Streets, north of Clarence Street. The old Trillium building, once the ticket office and main building, is now home to a thriving restaurant. The tracks are largely overlooked by residents. Part of the scenery. Inconvenient. Yet still operational. Occasionally, for civic events like

Breathe

There are many things that can, and often do, go wrong at a wedding. One possibility that most don’t worry or even think about is media card or equipment failure. After a long day working hard to capture the event from start to finish, a photographer still has to put that card into a computer…

Here Comes Halloween

As I type the second week of September is ending. Which means that Halloween is over six weeks away. So why am I posting this? Because designs take time to make and time to market and time to do their job. And because I like to plan ahead, this design is ready to rock and

More Changes

Just a quick update to say that as part of the site makeover I have reorganised the menu system and added links to some of my portfolios under the Services tab, in a new Photography section. So if you want to see how my conference photography might look before hiring me, or check out my

Possibly as it is a fairly small beach. Possibly as across the road is a cemetary. Most likely, the horses contributions play a role, too. All I know
