Day 5 we stayed in Hearst all day, but didn’t really do much. I think it was more about spending a day off the road and giving the car (Tito) a break! Day 6 we left Hearst heading east and south trough Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Timmins and then making a massive loop back to…

Day 4 of the trip was the long haul to Hearst. The previous day has ended with a 4 hour, incredibly stressful drive through a massive rain storm into Thunder Bay. Worst of all, the aurora must’ve been bright – because I actually caught some through the clouds but couldn’t stop because it was too…

Day 3 of the road trip was the last time we had good weather – we drove north to Wawa through Lake Superior Park which absolutely blew me away with how incredibly beautiful it is. Every time we turned a corner there was some breath taking scenery waiting for us. The highway itself cuts through…

Day 2 took us off the island and into the border town of Sault Ste Marie. Once again the autumn colours were in full blast all the way there, and the weather was gorgeous. Once in Sault Set Marie we went out for some more night shooting, getting this great shot of the milky way…

Well, actually Day 1 was Tobermory, but we arrived so late at night and left so early that we really didn’t get to see much. This morning we drove down to the ferry docks to catch the Chichiman Ferry to South Baymouth. It was a great ride – bumpy and queasy and we both fell…

Has anyone else noticed how much the nature of work has changed for them in the past few years? This summer my boss, and most of my clients, worked while on vacation. A few weeks ago I was sick; I worked from home. I take my midday meal at a working lunch and frequently work…

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…
