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.

A New York Minute: Central Park carousel
I am dropping a short series of snippets in to Youtube from our 2019 road trip vacation to New York, where among other things we went up the Empire State building, visited Lady Liberty, rode the NY subway, took in a Broadway show and met my friend from high school, that I had not seen…
Sometimes, it really isn’t the software.
For the last month my home computer has randomly frozen up. Everything seems to be working OK but the screens just go blank. Everything else was OK. I just couldn’t see anything. Very odd. Browsing and basic daily use, no problem. I leave my machine on for days, even weeks at a time. This issue…
Hello 2020
January 1st 2020 was spent working through some of my photos from 2019. It brought smiles as I looked back at some amazing memories of the things we did. Including the trip to New York. It was a whistle-stop tour. We did many things including visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, Bubba Gump…
Gallery Update
We near the end of 2019. It has been a busy year for me, with visits to New York, several State Parks, some filmmaking, and of course, work. Lots of work. 2020 looks set to be hectic as well. Taking a few days out to be with friends and family, I’m also working through the…
The Blizzard of ’90…ish
The first blizzard snows of Winter 2019 hit us here today in the Niagara region. As usual, many drivers have forgotten how to drive. The news is filled with crash reports and warnings of imminent death at every turn. Ah, Winter. How you were missed. Not. On the slow and steady drive home I had…
Three Years and Many Miles Later…
Three years ago this week I survived a stroke. Recovery has been a bumpy road, but one I happily (if a little unsteadily) walk. No complaints. Not one. That is not this story. This is a story of Adventure. With a capital ‘A’. Even before the stroke I tried to live each day as though…
Just take the photo, already
I know a lot of people, many of them photographers. I’ve lost count of the times a conversation went along the lines of “I couldn’t take the photo because <insert perfectly valid reason here>”. I understand the frustration. Been there. Done that. There is always a reason to not take the photo. But on the…
Love Survives
In 2013, Pierrette died. Each year a few of us get together for a celebration of life. This year, we did something special. We went and said hi. As the event photographer I captured the whole day in images. Link below. Being a fully licensed drone pilot, I multi-tasked, putting my piloting skills, experience, and…
