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.
I’m Glad I Didn’t Have To Paint That
This is a view of the Canadian Library of Parliament, as seen from the famous bell tower. We are looking across the Alexander Bridge on the Ottawa River, which bisects the city of the same name. As this is part of the Houses Of Commons and home of Canadian government, everything is kept pristine. The…
Kakabeka Falls
Looking downstream from the majestic Kakabeka Falls, Ontario. Just West of Thunder Bay, taken in September of 2021. Nikki and I were on a road trip visit to see family. Eighteen hours each way, we took a few days to get there and a few to get back, making a week’s vacation of the journey.…
IOTW: Another Sunrise
This sunrise was in Port Colborne, Ontario, one summer day in 2023. I used my own car as foreground. I believe the crop is Soy. The farm silos on the horizon belong to an aquaintance. I come here often. This and other side roads in the area provide some of my favourite places to be…
Styx Not
This gloomy time of year brings to mind a creation of mine from some time ago. A shoot morphed into an album cover mockup made just for fun.The story is, I submit, as much fun as the unexpected outcome. My friends Brad and Remi were volunteering to get their heads shaved for a charity event.…
The Elephant In The Room
This is Rosie. She is a 3-foot high stuffed toy in the shape of an elephant. Rosie has been with our family since we won a Lions club raffle, and has ever since occupied pride of place on the couch in our spare room. Rosie the elephant lives a quiet life. No TV. No books.…
On The Road Again
I look forward to warmer weather as much as anyone. I do like being out in nature before the birds wake up. Driving to wherever the road takes me. Setting up my tripod and camera. Then just sitting back and waiting for that sun to come blazing over the treetops. It’s a wonderfully peaceful feeling.…
Bored Now
It is only January 2nd, and I am already bored. Bored of endless unbroken grey winter skies. Bored of the monotony. Bored of the daily grind of work life. Ready for change at all and every level. I need new challenges. I still love photography. It keeps me grounded and encourages me to try harder.…
A New Path
I have been treading water for a few years now. Letting life pass me by while I overcame some personal challenges, which I can say has been done. Rear view mirror. Check. Complete. As this first day of 2024 progresses I have put my time to good use. This will not be a year I…
What a surprise
Driving home from St. Catharines, Ontario, over the holidays, and I passed an assemblage of parked school buses. Rarely one to shy away from an opportunity to take a photograph, I turned around and drove into the parking lot. There was no signage indicating I should not, and a Canadian truism that I learned many…
