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.
Another Sunrise
I love to see a new day begin. There is something about it which makes anything possible. So I go out, and see the world awaken. Again and again. This week in Somewhere In Niagara: Another Sunrise. I was fortunate enough to see several sunrises this week and the weather cooperated beautifully, with enough cloud…
Postcards From The Porch: Plan B
OK. With cases and hospitalizations rising exponentially in Ontario, the announcement on Friday that increased restrictions and financial penalties would immediately be put into effect effectively kiboshed my plans for world domination giving my local community a much needed morale boost. Time for Plan B. My original aim was to give housebound families a reason…
Postcards From The Porch
As Ontario endures another week of lockdown, community spirit is on the verge of becoming a victim of COVID-19. Postcards From The Porch is my initiative to beat back the blues and keep spirits high. For the next 2 Saturdays, April 17 and 24, I commit to driving around this community taking photos of families,…
Photo Of The Year
I like to drive around taking photos of things of beauty that catch my eye. No plan. I take random lefts and rights and often have no idea where I am going until I get there. That’s the core concept behind Somewhere In Niagara – I like to see where the road will take me.…
Somewhere In Niagara
Driving Miss Nikki I do like to drag my long-suffering wife with me on my outings when I can. It’s always more fun to share things in real life than as anecdotes when you get home, and we do have fun. A lot. I am just grateful that she allows me to wake her, often…
Somewhere In Niagara
In this episode of Somewhere In Niagara, Nikki and I are back in St. Johns Conservation Area. We like this place. I have a lot of video and images so it seems a shame not to use it. Please note that everything filmed here was pre-COVID. For the record, despite what is said in the…
Memories of 2020
I know we’re into March, so this is a little overdue, but as promised to my wife I put together this annual collection, memories of 2020. Just a few of the things we shared last year, set to music. Memories keep you warm in the winter. Light your way during the darkest of days. Memories…
Somewhere In Niagara: St. John’s
My car is having some work done this week, so I pulled out some film Nikki and I shot during one of our visits to one of our favourite spots, St. John’s Conservation Area. This area, North of Pelham, has several trails to suit all tastes, as well as a fishing lake. It is home…
Spring Forward
It’s nice that Spring Forward is here, and the clocks go forward an hour this weekend. But I do have mixed feelings. And not the routine ones that everybody has. I have Spring Forward melancholy. Here’s why. In the winter I enjoy my sunrises. I think nothing of getting up before 5am to drive to…
