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.
Canada Hearts Ukraine
I’m not going to debate the politics of the situation in the Ukraine. People are dying. For me, that’s all that matters. The rest is just noise. From here in Canada, I can do nothing about events over there. But I can still help. I made a series of products, available now through my general…
Image Of The Week
The Image Of The Week is a beautiful Peregrine Falcon, sitting atop a post and scanning for breakfast. This species is deemed the fastest animal on the planet. Preferring to attack from above, the eyesight of this raven-sized raptor is phenomenal. Cruising at altitudes around 3,500 feet they target and instinctively perform the calculations required…
My Valentine
This woman has chosen to spend her life with me.As I have chosen to spend mine with her. She burns with the light of many suns. She is a flawed diamond. Strong as steel. Fragile as glass. She is amazing. She is a candle in the darkness. And she lights up my life. Every day.…
Backup, backup, backup!
OK! A fun start to the day. One of my hard drives died, taking a lot of work with it. As is the cascading way of things my local backup solution also failed, leaving me short by 400 Gb of files. Not great. Fortunately my secondary online backup solution had backed everything up. Rather than…
Discombobulated
I have often pondered an autobiography. In fact, I have an alert that pops up on my phone every Saturday morning to remind me to start writing it. TBH, it’s been there for about five years now. But let’s not talk about that. I’ve lived a long and sometimes interesting life. Done many things along…
Somewhere In Canada
Somewhere In Canada is a growing collection of unique images based upon the Canadian experience. I curated the most evocative photographs from my travels, placing each inside an outline map of Canada. Somewhere In Canada is a theme that will grow with my travels as I explore the wonders of Canada. We have a long…

Happy Whateveryacallit
Nikki and I would like to wish everybody a happy holiday season. Whatever we call it, whatever you and yours call it, whatever your faith or belief system, or complete lack thereof, you’re good people. Just take care of each other and be happy. We love you. Yes, even you. Peace. The image is a…
Somewhere In Niagara: A Load Of Bull
The Image Of The Week is of a Longhorn bull I saw in a field. Somewhere In Niagara. I am pleased to say I have a long lens and was able to get this image from several hundred feet away, safely behind the fence keeping a herd of these magnificent beasts in their field. I…
