It looks like you're in Alberta, but the Cheltenham Badlands are actually very close to Toronto. Not much bigger than a city block, it's a little gem of undulating red shale hills. The distinctive colour is produced by iron oxide. Due to a lot of people climbing over the rocks, the site was closed to human [...]

Organized as a Meetup.com group for photographers, we made the conscious choice to stay in the old part of Havana instead of a resort. Havana had been, and continues to, go through a massive transformation as the old city becomes gentrified and joins the global community. Often you'd see a crumbling old building next door [...]

During my time with ONPHA, I was responsible for delegate photography at the Association's Annual Conference, as well as event photography at housing provider sites, and building photography when needed.  The photos were used for future marketing of the events as well as education courses and general stock photos for the Quick Connections newsletter, Annual [...]

I was responsible for selecting photographs and videos to reflect the award winner narrative.  This often required some creative use of stock photos to fill gaps as a result of too few or irrelevant photos from the award winner.

Quite a worldwind tour, there was a lot of driving, but the destinations were well worth the travels. Perhaps the most surprising thing [...]

In 2013, I went to Killarney Provincial Park, the crown jewel of parks in Ontario, for the first time. The park deserves its subtitle, as the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield is stunning here. The Group of Seven spent much time here painting, and somehow photos don't really convey the breadth, the smells, the [...]

I was asked by my friend Kira Braun to record and photograph her "Weekend to End Women's Cancer" fundraising recital. Kira performed with several of her friends and her teacher on some classical and contemporary tunes. It was a fantastic show, and the talent on stage absolutely top-notch. My wonderful partner Hema was volun-told 🙂 to [...]

I hosted a showcase event for our Songwriter's Cafe meetup group today at the Central Bar. It was a great experience, and I got to see many great performances. In addition to announcing the performers, I also photographed and sound recorded the event to share with the individual performers. Live mixing was handled by Phil, and [...]
