Tito and I went north again last night – in hopes of aurora hunting after sunspot AR 1520 delivered a massive X-class flare directly to earth. We’re getting quite adept at finding these things ;) We got our best shots not 1.5 hours from downtown Toronto – just outside of Barrie, south of Mt. St.…

It’s a hot one in Toronto! This week we’re creeping up against the 50 degree with humidex mark. There are emergency cooling centres around the city, you can fry an egg on the sidewalk and the AC in my office is broken. Luckily for me… I love the heat. I love it so much that…

Tito and I drove to Sault Ste. Marie on the weekend – a pretty ambitious endeavour since the Sault is about 9 hours from Toronto (13 if you stop, as we tend to do, for every interesting looking thing you see along the way). Before I do a post showcasing how gorgeous Lake Superior is, I…

As a traveler, and a photographer, I know a good landscape when I see it. I’ve shot the Amazon jungle, the ruins of Italy, the English countryside, the temples of India, the gardens of Japan, the Andes, the Cloud Forests of Costa Rica and countless other places that have, literally, taken my breath away. But…

Last Friday night Tito and I were invited to our artist friends house for dinner and creativity! To add to the night I brought the camera and a collection of glow sticks, sparklers and bubble mix. Sadly, breaking tubes of glow sticks and pouring them into bubble mix completely failed to produce glowing bubbles, as…

La Mezquita in Cordoba, Spain has a rich history. I’m going to take a quote here from wikipedia, who explain it much better than I could ;) The site was originally a pagan temple, then a VisigothicChristianchurch, before the UmayyadMoors converted the building into a mosque and then built a new mosque on the site.[1]…

I backpacked through Spain in 2009 in what was probably my least-planned trip ever – I got a rail pass, and winged it. I stayed in Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Cordoba, Cuenca, Granada and Seville. Spain is gorgeous and textured and culturally rich and would take a massive blog post to really describe, but today I…

Have you ever seen a photo of water and wondered how they get the water to look so silky and smooth? The answer is a trick, all you need is a tripod and a DSLR or digital that lets you shoot in full manual. Set your camera on the tripod and set it to manual…

Leaving for Toronto in the morning and I am tired, but thrilled with the work done today. I couldn’t have asked for better skies. I shot for a total of 15 hours, starting at 4:30 am. Here are 2 of my favourites from early this morning, of lovely Calgary :)

Blogging from Calgary tonight, and feeling totally beat. It’s 12:30 am according to my body, and I’m getting up at 4:30 to shoot the blue hour. However, I am travelling and shooting and being paid to do my 2 favourite things, so I can hardly complain about being tired. Oh, and I got a new…
