Category: Design Guy

The Design Guy blog features articles on design, creativity, commercial photography, tech, tips, and life. I add to this journal as the mood takes me, whimsically.

I am also an avid landscape photographer based in Niagara, Canada. This is the home of my personal photography project Somewhere In Niagara, in which I travel the back roads and trails in search of the hidden beauty if the Niagara Peninsula. Enjoy.

Spider web in morning sun

Spider Dawn

April 9, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

As Spring becomes increasingly insistent, the animal world wakes from Winter slumber and prepares to face the world. Mating dances begin. As food becomes more easily found, predators of all sizes begin to hunt in earnest. Spiders are predators. They do not eat plants. As […]

Geese on a pond

Geese On A Pond

April 9, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

Driving around as I do, I see lots of geese. I mean, lots. Sometimes hundreds flock together in a field and squabble over territory. Or fly in uneven formations through the sky. Or just float serenely on a pond. These two were getting comfortable exploring […]

Buffalo industry across the Niagara river

Waterway

April 9, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

The Niagara River forms part of the natural border between Canada and the United States. It stretches from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, along the way dropping over the world famous Niagara Falls. From the Canadian side you can see upstate New York, including parts […]

My Favourite Tree

April 9, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

For several years I drove from Port Colborne to St. Catharines to earn a crust and pay the bills. I would vary the route, setting off early to see what new and exciting things I could find along the way. This is a really good […]

Sunrise at the Peace Bridge, Fort Erie.

Fort Erie Peace Bridge Sunrise

April 7, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

Another day, another epic sunrise at the Peace Bridge, Fort Erie. Fort Erie has a lot of other attractions. But this does take some beating. Sunrise coming up over Buffalo is spectacular. This image is available in many formats including gallery wraps, metal, and art […]

Port Colborne Interactive 3D

April 7, 2023 Carl Green Design

I live in a small community on the North East shore of Lake Erie, called Port Colborne. The main highway between Canada and the U.S. runs through the North side of town, all the way to the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie. But there are […]

Photographers Like To Expose Their Triangles

April 7, 2023 Carl Green Design, Photography

Photographers, as a species, are a funny bunch. They come in all shapes and sizes. Are young and old. Are passionate about their brand of camera, be that a smartphone, a DSLR, Mirrorless, or film. And argue constantly about lenses, composition, the rule of thirds […]

Carolinian Canada

April 4, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

I have not quite yet summoned the courage to venture into this particular wilderness. More accurately, common sense tells me this would be a bad idea. Courage has no relevance here. Let us, rather, not be stoopid. It is an area of significant import, biologically, […]

Stop sign in Ontario

Stop Sign

April 3, 2023 Carl Green Photography, Somewhere In Niagara

Here in Ontario, Canada, we see STOP signs in back yards. I doubt they will worry traffic, except for the occasional speeding lawnmower. And as we all know, deer can’t read, so they won’t. Stop, that is. There’s a bad joke to be made about […]

Snowy Owl at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy

Up Close with a Snowy Owl

April 2, 2023 Carl Green Design Guy, Photography

This owl is a resident of the Canadian Raptor Conservancy, a bird habitat / sanctuary on the outskirts of Simcoe, Ontario. This wonderful place is home to a wide range of birds of prey (raptors) from around the world, and also home to a large […]
