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.
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…
Somewhere In Niagara: Morgans Point
This week in Somewhere In Niagara, Nikki and I are exploring the well-known conservation area at Morgans Point. On the shore of Lake Erie south of Wainfleet, this is not a large area with many trails. It’s a small but beautiful piece of the coast, easily accessible and pet friendly. Not car friendly, the pot…

Episode 6 of Somewhere In Niagara is now online. This week I’m Somewhere North. It worked out that on my travels I saw quite a few animals, so that is my focus for the image of the week. This episode is about that thing photographers rarely discuss, the laziness of the travelling photographer. And how…
Winter Sun On Snow
This week in Somewhere In Niagara, I dragged my poor long-suffering wife and best friend along to enjoy the sunrise as I shot some ‘winter sun on snow’ images around the region. I had to bribe her with a Timmies Dark Roast, but that is a small price to pay to get such shared moments…
Somewhere In Niagara – Details
It has been a very long week. When skies are uniformly leaden and dull they hold little happiness for the photographer. The sun rarely made an appearance. And in Winter, even when it does it often only serves to highlight the monochrome landscape. That doesn’t mean there is nothing to see… Somewhere In Niagara. Shooting…
Somewhere In Niagara – Snowstorm
Episode three of my weekly Somewhere In Niagara series is now on my Youtube channel. It sees me venturing bravely out into a Canadian snowstorm. Competing with Superbowl Sunday is a challenge, but on the up side, non-sports fans can grab a few minutes respite from the kerfuffle and relax while they spend 6 minutes…
