My wife and I missed camping in the summer, since we hadn't gone since 2013. To get back into the swing of it, we opted for a park close to Toronto, and one where an urban centre was close by, since we were sure we'd have to stock up on something or other. We chose [...]
For a visit to the windy city, I enjoyed shooting the remarkable architecture in the city. Some of the shots were from a guided riverboat tour, and some of them make use of HDR (high dynamic range) photography.

While on a family weekend getaway in Collingwood to celebrate the beginning of the summer, I awoke at 4:30 am to capture the sunrise over Georgian Bay. From seven people, only my wife and nephew joined me for the early shoot. Not sure about them, but for me, it was totally worth it.

I completed the graphic layout for an independent singer-songwriter's album release, including disc sticker and folding lyric insert. All work was completed on a tight deadline for a Valentine's Day release. I made use of Adobe Photoshop and InDesign and delivered press-ready files to the printer.
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.
