On Saturday I decided to head back to the Peace Bridge. This time I wanted to shoot something a little wider, so I brought my 6D & 28mm 1.8. It was a nice day in Calgary, so there was lots of people around and no shortage of photo ops. Here are a few of the …

Peace Bridge People
I drive by this bridge pedestrian bridge all the time. Yesterday I decided to make a quick stop on my way home and grab a couple shots. You can’t park on the bridge side, so I parked on the other side and used a 70-200mm lens. It is still rather cold in Calgary, so I …
Into The Light
I don’t often take pictures of the back of people, but some how I thought in the particular moment it fit. Got a sharp point of interest, a nice bit of rim light from the light pointing our way and a row bokeh balls to finish off the frame. Not bad ;). Camera: Canon 5D …
Happy Lady
Here’s another street shot of a very friendly old lady that was walking by me one day. She was walking down the street really slowly and I snapped a quick picture of her walking by, when she noticed I took her picture she gave me a big smile, so I quickly said “One more!” She gave …
The Look
I was downtown not to long ago and I saw this guy shooting some video of a sign. I walked over and took a picture of him, then he noticed I was beside him pointing a camera at him and when he looked at me he had this hilarious look on his face! LOL. It …
The Streets Are Watching
Last weekend and friend of mine and I went to Banff Alberta, Canada to shoot some photos. There was a block party going on and we were burning around there taking pictures. I did a lot of street photography that day and this is my favourite picture from the day. Camera: Canon 5D mark iii …
Snow Covered Streets
I walked around the corner on to this street in Calgary and immediately saw the guy snow blowing the train station platform. Naturally with all the snow blowing around my first instinct was to put my lens cap on, and I did. Then I noticed this girl walking up the street too. I quickly removed …
Family Time
This nice little family is taking a look back at my last post haha. They were actually pretty nice, I was across the street shooting and they were admiring the view. At one point they turned around to me and asked me if they were “in my shot”, and offered to move if they were. …
Alley Reflection
Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 50L ~ Settings: 1/125 – f/16 – ISO 2500 Alley action from downtown Calgary, Canada. I don’t shoot a lot of alley photos, but I was just walking down this one and noticed the reflection in the water. A few seconds after I noticed the reflection, I noticed that …
Running with a View
I was out getting some shots of the Calgary skyline yesterday and while I was there I shot a couple pictures of some girls running. This path they were running on is a great place to run because of the beautiful view of the city. I personally don’t run, but this view is almost enuf …
Can’t Miss That

Yesterday there was a street festival in the city of Calgary. It was called The Lilac Festival and took over almost half of a downtown street! I’m not sure how many blocks it was, but it was massive! I went down and had my camera along (as always) in…
Waiting for Trains
I posted one of these pictures on my other blog “The People of Calgary“. I thought these 2 pictures went well together so I thought I’d share them here. I shot these on a little street photography excursion downtown in Calgary a couple weeks ago :). Camera: Canon 7D & 50mm 1.8 mk1 – Setting: …
A Burst of Color

Here is another shot from the streets of Calgary. This girl just stood out to me because of her cool sweater. She was a burst of color in a sea of regular jackets and hoodies. I don’t know who makes that sweater, but it’s great! Note: This photo…
