Yesterday we went out to do a little shooting for a table banner we could use at the festivals this summer. I wanted something that showcased the spectrum of materials, and flowers that we worked with. We took a bunch of our pieces and laid them out on a dark, distressed wood background: Though it’s…

I love spring for lots of reasons; the temperatures are comfortable, the novelty of nice weather is fresh, the nights are still cool enough for knitted shawls and scarves. Most of all though, spring is a time of great inspiration for my work because so many beautiful flowers are in bloom. When we did our marketing shoot, I…

Last weekend, Tito and I took some of our favourite pieces out to the Toronto Music Garden to shoot what, in the advertising world, we call ‘hero shots’. We had a lot of fun arranging the work, hanging things on trees, and generally trying to place the work back in the context of the natural…

Just a quick capture from last night’s electrical storm. It was awesome! For anyone interested in my settings and techniques for capturing lightning, they are in this post.

Nothing much to write, except that my lovely friend Leslie finally got her pony up to Canada and we got to meet her on the weekend :) Much horse love ensued. I can see why they make great therapy animals.

I feel like we all deserve T-shirts to commemorate this, though it hardly seems worth celebrating. A few weekends ago it was actually minus 40, that strange zone where both Fahrenheit and Celsius will say the…

Just having a bit of fun with the phone camera while the real gear was tied up in some interview work. I’m learning to use our brand new DJI Ronin for smooth tilting and panning action while on the move, and so far this thing is a 10. The new lens is working out great…

I was having an off week, and this was the proverbial straw: I was helping some friends out with a shoot, and went to change the cameras position on the tripod. We had taken the strap off earlier so we could mount the camera to a gimbal, and when I fumbled the camera I reached…

While Webster’s Falls were definitely the most spectacular of the day, we did do a bit of sleuthing around some of the other falls close by, starting with Boher’s Falls, and working out way out to the ruins of the old paper mill. Tito and I are contemplating a new pet project – documenting each…
