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.
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…

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…
Made The Magazine Cover Again
A while ago I made a series of 4K promotional videos for a recycling company. Based on that experience, they called me in for a photo assignment to shoot a magazine cover. Not my first. We spent a couple of hours on-site wandering their Welland recycling facility while I took photos and posed the clients.…
Somewhere In Niagara: Image Of The Week
Today’s Image Of The Week comes from a very enjoyable two hours hours spent on the beach watching the oncoming storm along the shore of Lake Erie. The storm left in it’s wake a lot of property damage and many homes were without power for hours, but at the time I was at peace. I…
