Macro in Green

Macro in Green

I’ve always loved shooting macros, but this year the ability to go out to take pictures of colorful, sparkly things has become my sanity. It’s been a crazy time for all of us. I’m sure others have found different ways of dealing with the stress and annoyances of our current situation but for me, there is nothing better than getting up early in the morning, or going out in the early evening and taking pictures.

Time For Holidays

Time For Holidays

December - one of the busiest times of year. It is so hard to find a minute to relax with a camera, take a walk, take some pictures... I am like most, hardly find a moment to indulge, but I do try.  There is just so many opportunities to play with bokeh this time of year, when everywhere you look there are lights that can be used to make things pretty.

It's funny, how I almost cured myself of digital GAS, and how quickly I fell for the analogue GAS.  It's really easy to forget about actual photography, when scouring eBay for old cameras.  The amount of old film cameras is just staggering.  The prices are decent for the most part, although so old cameras fall into the "collectible" or "famous" category, which drives their prices through the roof.  I try to keep to the cheap side.

Is Being Bored Good Or Bad?

Is Being Bored Good Or Bad?

I've found myself bored recently, stuck at home and not willing to go anywhere with my camera. There was a very Canadian reason for it. It was freezing outside with winds bringing the cold close to -40 Centigrade and sun making almost no appearance at all. Depressing, if you ask me, so I decided to use my go to therapy for winter blues: play with color.

On the onset of this little write up, just want to warn that the images attached to this post are not really safe for work :)

Had a great opportunity to shoot with Kate again.  She's an amazing model to work with.  Her understanding of poses, and light is second to none.  We planned an outside setting for the shoot, but it being autumn in Alberta, the weather did not cooperate.  That's one thing that went wrong.
