Friendly Staff

Not too long ago I found my self down at local pub watching the Calgary Flames (NHL Hockey) game with my cousin. We watched the game, had a few drinks and eventually got to chatting with some of the staff. This friendly waitress was nice enough to let me take her picture. Shooting people at …

Bright Night In This City

This shot was taken right before the snow started to fly in Calgary. It is the south-west corner of the Olympic Plaza. I really like the old building on the left side of the frame. I wish there was more of these types of buildings still around in Calgary. Camera: Canon 5D mark ii & …

The Bellingham Herald Building

This shot is from my favourite town in Washington State, Bellingham! The building pictured here is my favourite building in town. The Herald building is home to the Bellingham Herald Newspaper. The paper has been published since way back in 1890! (First printed as the Fairhaven Herald, then the Bellingham Herald in 1903). This wonderful …

A Few Cute Kids

I shot an event for my company back in October and I got a few good shots of some cute kids. I just stumbled upon the pictures on my computer and thought these ones would be worth sharing :). Camera: 5D mark iii & 24-85mm @85mm ~ Settings: 1/125th – f/8 – ISO 200 Camera: …

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. …

Apartment With a View

There is just something about a good sunset over the Rockies that is almost magical. You get a pretty good view of it from where I was standing, but I’d imagine the view to be even better from one of those apartments! Those buildings are located on westside of downtown in Calgary, Canada. Nice location …

Big Head in The City

Calgary has a lot of public art and this massive head is one of my favourite. You can go inside of it, but you cant get one hand or foot onto it to climb with out a security guard running out to tell you there is no climbing! haha. If your ever in Calgary, it’s …

Monroe Street Bridge, Spokane WA

I shot this photo from a gondola ride that takes you under the bridge and over the Spokane River. This bridge looks amazing to me! It was build way back in 1911! Spokane has so much great old architecture, it’s worth a trip there for that reason alone. Camera: Canon 5D & 24-70L @24mm ~ …

Seattle’s Capitol Hill

I find pictures like this with lots of little building windows in it looks best big, they seem to have a tendency to look pixelated when viewed so small like this. I was surfing some Seattle posts on WordPress this morning and it started to make me miss the city, so I went through some …

Warm Calgary

Winter is in full effect around Calgary these days and it makes it hard for me to want to get out there haha. So I am throwing it back to a time when I would walk outside in a T-shirt and be happy about it ;). I’ll make it out there for some winter shots …

Fall Flare

Camera: 5D mark ii & 50mm 1.8 mark i ~ Settings: 1/60th – f/18 – ISO 800 I’m sure it still looks like this in some places in the good ol US of A, but not here in Calgary, Canada haha. I took this picture a couple of months ago. Today I woke up to …

Skyline Camera Phone

I shot a photo of the Calgary skyline this summer from the East Village. While I was there I took my phone out shoot a Instagram picture. While taking that picture if thought a picture of my phone taking that picture might be cool haha. I’m a big fan of the BOKEH!, so I rather like …

The Nikon DF or Nikkormat

With the release of the rumoured retro looking Nikon DF full frame DSLR (16mp) comes some big decisions for people who love the look and feel of the old school film SLR’s of the 60’s & 70’s. For most people, I believe the main decision will be, “Do I feel like spending the $2,750.  price …
