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.
Commercial Photography & Video
It isn’t all ‘Somewhere In Niagara’ and pretty landscapes. I use my camera primarily for work. I shoot commercial photography & video for businesses and clients. Also, corporate events and private bookings. For example, indoor and real estate. Commercial photography & video (alongside graphic design) are my bread and butter. I’m a working photographer, experienced…
Zero Charge
A friend asked me yesterday about getting a print of one of my photos. He could, he said, have downloaded it, cropped out the watermark and printed it without permission or payment. And he was right. Most of my work is put online to look it’s best. Hi-res. I know anything I post online is…
Image Of The Week: Fox
While out for a routine drive around I encountered this critter jogging along a back road. The young fox showed no inclination to leave the road. Not wanting to endanger or crowd it, I slowed to match the pace it was setting, and followed behind. I was in no rush. Suddenly the fox leaped into…
More Changes
As well as making the Image Of The Week exclusive to site visitors and subscribers as mentioned in the last post, I am cracking down a little in other areas. More changes are required. Most know that I routinely post higher resolution images of my photos than others. I want them to look their best.…
Image Of The Week: Changes
Everything changes. That’s a basic rule of life. Today I am making some changes to the Image Of The Week format. From this point Images Of The Week will be shared with subscribers only. My friends and followers deserve some extra love for all their patience and kindness and this shall be a treat. Subscribers…
Floral Showhouse
I have had another busy Summer, and it isn’t over yet. But I am. I grow weary of the endless workload, the late nights, not spending enough time living life or with my beloved. Time, I recently thought, to change that. So in the last few months I have taken fewer engagements, and significantly ramped…
Peach Valley
“Peach Valley” as I call it runs through Haldimand and Lincoln counties, south of the QEW between St. Catharines and Hamilton. Often more famous for the wine-producing vineyards, there are just as many orchards in this part of Ontario, and countless places along this route to fill your fruit needs. But this? This is not…
2024 Kids Fishing Derby
If you follow me on social, you will know the Port Colborne Optimist Club held the annual kids fishing derby in H.H. Knoll park on Father’s Day. It takes time to process photos, particularly when faced with a dozen deadlines, so with apologies for the one-week wait, without further ado here is the photo gallery.…
Gone Fishin’
I have been away from the web site a lot recently, taking care of other things. For example, I’m on the board of the Port Colborne Optimist Club and we just ran the very successful annual Kids Fishing Derby. Now that is over we are readying things for the big Canada Day show in H.H.…
