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.
Three horses
Waking up to foggy mornings always makes me feel like jumping in the car, and that is exactly what I did today at silly o’clock. Everything looks different in the fog. Familiar sights change. It’s easy to get disoriented or even lost. So I am told. I grew up in Yorkshire, England, so my first…
Morning Deer
Sometimes, photographers drag themselves from a warm bed before the first light of day cracks the sky. Sometimes, they drive to a location and wait. And sometimes, the sun wants to play hide and seek, and never even peeps from behind the clouds. And then there are days like this. I was out and about…
Another long weekend
This is yet another holiday weekend in Canada. Once I finish typing this post I will be heading off for the rest of the day to explore and see new things. I would love to take along my beloved Nikki, but she is off fixing a computer for someone, so we will have to hook…
Photographers
Spring is here and the weather is stabilizing, almost to the point where longer hikes can be considered while wearing regular clothes. The trick is to get the timing right. Waterfalls like this one at Balls Falls in Lincoln, Ontario, are wonderful places to visit when there is water flowing over them. As Spring moves…
Anniversary Weekend
The Victoria Day weekend in Canada is also the anniversary of our first date. Nikki and I like to do something to celebrate, even after all these years. Our plan this weekend is to go along the coast road of Lake Erie to one of our favourite roadside restaurants, Hippo’s in Lowbanks, Ontario. There we…
Tin Man
The Wizard Of Oz remains a timeless classic. Written as a series of books in the early part of the 20th century, made into a movie, and a musical, and remade in several forms since, this many-layered story is not a simple childrens tale. You can look that up for yourselves. Here, the character of…
Trillium Fields
The humble Trillium is the provincial flower of Ontario. This perennial herb comes in a variety of colours and shades of red, purple, pink, white, yellow, and green. The white variety is the one most familiar to us here in Niagara. Trillium have a distinctive appearance with three sepals and three petals, in an arrangement…
Bridge 21 At Sunrise
I recently posted a video of this spectacular sunrise at Bridge 21 in Port Colborne. At the same time I submitted a still image to the Niagara This Week online publication. I was gratified to hear that it has been chosen as the Image Of The Week for the Region’s web site and social media…
Fog On The Tracks
This misty morning image was taken early one Summer morning just after dawn, Somewhere In Niagara. The sun had not yet burned away the mist and across those railroad tracks seemed to be the gateway to another dimension. A silent one. No birds sang. No wind stirred the leaves. The swirling fog made ghosts of…
