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.

Sunny Times
A snapshot of the day. The weather may be changing, the days getting shorter. But here in Niagara there is always something beautiful to see. Subscribers get more. #somewhereinniagara #prints #wallart #exploring #hike #hiking
We Do Not Forget
This morning I join my fellow Optimist Club board members at the Remembrance Day ceremony, to lay a wreath in memory of those that have fallen. We do not forget. Around the world, across almost every nation, a silent cry of mourning will be heard at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the…
Busy Weekend
The most recent IOTW was shot during a very busy weekend which started with a Saturday sunrise photoshoot at the Fort Erie Peace Bridge. I have so far worked through over 200+ photos taken from the day and there are more to add from Sunday. Of those looked at so far, here are just a…
IOTW: Peace Bridge
We went out early yesterday to see the last sunrise before the clocks went back. Rather than going to our usual spot, Table Rock in Niagara Falls, we drove to the end of Hwy 3 instead. Taking our Timmies with us, we went fully caffeinated to see sunrise at the Peace Bridge. Our Image Of…
“Adobe Lightroom Ate My Photos!”
No. It didn’t. But that does beg the question I am frequently asked. Where did they go? Ninety-nine times out of a hundred the issue is traced to user knowledge. And that’s fixable. The software, which I am the first to admit can behave a little oddly at times, is hardly ever the cause. Usually…
Happy Halloween 2022
I made this fun piece over the weekend, during a rare break between taking photographs and editing photographs and posting photographs here and on social media. I do like to (over) share what I see #somewhereinniagara Featuring the iconic Clarence Street Bridge of my home town of Port Colborne as a centrepiece, I added pumpkins…
IOTW: Motorcross
The Image Of The Week is actually three. From the shoot last weekend at the MX track I chose three airborne images and combined them into this triptych, just because. I’m looking forward to going back tomorrow. With a drone. As a nice little extra I also made this quick teaser video from some of…
Motorcross Madness
The adventurous souls that enjoy MX are a special breed. They throw themselves and their vehicles into the air at every opportunity, with no thought for pain or personal injury. Surprisingly few screams are heard, though perhaps they are hidden by the roar of engines as screaming bikes fly overhead. My feeling is, if MX…
