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.
The Other Side Of Niagara Falls
Yesterday, Nikki was working and I was feeling advenurous. So I grabbed my passport and headed off to America to see the other side of Niagara Falls. I actually went across at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie, because I was scouting a location I will visit in a few weeks for a shoot. After…
Deer. No Headlights
On a driving break for lunch I slowed to cross the train tracks Somewhere In Niagara and came face to face with this young deer. Only a few feet away, it showed no inclination to run, being more curious than anything. I calmly put the car into reverse and backed away twenty feet or so.…
Peace Bridge Sunrise
This image of the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie required a 4:00am start to the day. That allowed time to stop for caffeine at the drive-thru and be on site well ahead of the sun making an appearance. As the sky lightened a rosy glow began to creep into the sky. The sun rose under…
Peace Bridge
I took this image of the Peace Bridge at sunrise two weeks ago. The eary dawn light is beginning to light the sky. The night lights pick out the bridge infrastructure beautifully and the street lamps at road level are Harry Potter style beacons of light guiding traffic to another land. Literally. Available as a…
Gilligan’s Other Boat
On my travels around the region I see many wonders of nature and lots of things of interest. Including this boat. Of the many boats in gardens, this one caught my eye as it looks to be on the ground rather than a trailer. As though it ran aground, like Gilligan. The scene was given…
Bird, Thinking
Somewhere In Niagara I recently came across this bird. Clearly in a thoughtful mood, it just stood and stared straight ahead. If it was looking for food, it’s head never moved. If it was in pain, it never flinched. It might even have been asleep. (Do these things sleep with their eyes open? I know…
Turtle Hunt
Nikki is working at the weekend. I have made arrangements to collaborate with a fellow photographer, and go on a turtle hunt. We know there are turtles out there. Our goal is to find them, and shoot them. With cameras, of course. There have been several reports of turtles in various places. We will drive…
Feel The Sunrise
Last weekend was Victoria Day in Canada. This weekend Nikki and I celebrate our first date. Every year we unwind and do our own thing together. Somewhere In Niagara. This year, Nikki decided she wanted to see sunrise at the Fort Erie Peace Bridge. I suspect that she was humouring me. I have been talking…
