I am a working photographer, videographer, and drone pilot. I’ve been serving the Niagara region for 2 decades.
This is the blog section. It’s not about work, you can read that on the other pages and see some portfolios if you want to. This page is about the fun things in my life. Photography. Nature. Technology. And whatever else I feel like writing about. It’s about life, the universe, and everything. From Carl, your friendly neighbourhood Camera Guy.
Fine Art – Above the Clarence Street Bridge
So many people liked my early morning image of a ship going under the Clarence Street bridge at sunrise, I thought I would make a fine art poster from it. There are other things you can buy, check out the link. Please feel free to share & enjoy!
Mohawk Lighthouse
On New Years Day, I wanted to be out exploring and my wife wanted me out of the house, so I hit the empty roads and went West. During a national holiday there is very little traffic. Which is fantastic. Nobody honking if I’m going too slow for them. Nobody stopping to offer help if…
Hire A Photographer
As well as event photography, I take private bookings for groups and families for on-location shoots tailored to your needs. The location can be anywhere of your choice. Afterwards, as well as providing the photos in digital format for use on your social media I can make prints, coffee table photo books, or frame them…
Abandoned Barns
Across the Niagara region are many abandoned buildings. Barns, houses, entire farms. Each one has a story that will in all likelihood never be told again. Histories that died with them. At one time these buildings were new. Full of hope for the future. Full of life. Strong men and women raising families. Noisy children…
Somewhere In Niagara – The Unsung Heroine
Somewhere in Niagara, I drove my car to the end of an overgrown track just to see what there was to see. I do this a lot. I mean, a lot. Sometimes I find hidden treasures. Ponds full of lilies and frogs. Beaver dams. Creeks. Turtles. I encounter deer. Sometimes I meet a dead end…
Flight over Sugarloaf Marina in Port Colborne
One cold weekend in December I found myself down at the H.H. Knoll park in Port Colborne with a few minutes before I needed to be anywhere. I parked by the edge of the Sugarloaf marina and looked out over the scene. The sky was crisp and clear. The water was just turning to ice.…
Dialling it down
I have been racing full tilt to grow a social media presence. After some success on a number of platforms, I stopped to ask myself “Why”? I realised that I don’t have a good answer. It’s supposed to be the thing to do. But why? To grow a business? To be popular? To educate /…
Aerial Photography
Aerial photography and drone services are a growing need. Businesses and realtors demand high quality images showcasing their operations and offerings. Moreover, private homeowners increasingly want their homes and estates set in physical prints, large across living room walls above hearths and fireplaces. We can, and do, help with those. Property portraits are one of…
Somewhere In Niagara
I see many things as I drive around Niagara. Some of the most undervalued are the road-facing dioramas shared with the world by homeowners. I would like to thank all the homeowners of Niagara for their dedication to presenting their corners of this world to passersby in ways that give joy, inspiration, amusement, and temporary…
