Another image from my recent shoot with my friend Jo-Anne. Intriguing expression in this one.

High Park Solitude
This spot in High Park (specifically the bridge) has to be one of the most popular wedding photography spots in the city, but I like the look of it when there are no people in frame, like on a hazy day recently.

Hiding in Wait
Another image from Hamilton: this time, it’s a GO train, and to me with its green matching the trees, it seemed like a creature hiding, waiting to pounce.

A Colourful City
Hamilton, Ontario is still saddled (unfairly in my opinion) with the reputation of being a gritty and unattractive city. I think the opposite is true: it is a city of fascinating architecture and splashes of colour, even in the most mundane items.

“The Person I Want to Be”
Today’s post is about three photos and two good friends, at this past weekend’s MMPR meetup in Hamilton, Ontario. The first image is Bob Goyetche in mid laugh (and there was a lot of laughing last weekend!). The second and third photos are of my good friend Ken Bole. When Ken saw the second portrait he said “I look like the person I want to be.”
This just might be the nicest comment I’ve ever received for one of my portraits.

My 1000th Post
This post is the 1000th on my photo blog since its inception, so I wanted to pick an image that fit the occasion. This image from recent day in Banff works for me: it reminds me that photography is a journey as much as a destination, and that the destination will always be partially hidden, awaiting discovery.

Another Calgary Bridge
Today’s post is a variation on a theme/follow-up to yesterday’s post: the same city (Calgary), the same rainy day, and another bridge and pedestrian.

Rainy Day Bridge
The Peace Bridge, in Calgary, on a rainy Sunday morning during my recent trip. Shot on Lomo 400 colour film, converted to black and white in post. Shot on my Hasselblad 500C/M with 50mm/4 Distagon lens, then cropped.
Trees By the River
My next Banff image: trees by the shores of the Bow River.

Yellow
Another image created using the Lomography 400 colour negative film and my Rolleiflex with the Rollinar close-up lens. I love the yellow hue of this plant!
