An Oak Bay Sunset

While I was visiting family in Victoria I had a lot of nice opportunities to walk around the shoreline of the and enjoy the views. This particular evening I wasn’t even planning on going out, but I saw the sunset happening and since my in-laws live across the street from the beach I ran out …

So much snow!

My family and I were just living it up in Victoria for a visit recently. While they did have an unusual amount of snow in Victoria, it was nothing compared to what was waiting for us back in Kelowna. The snow is everywhere! I had the shovel more than one person off the side of …

And Then There Were 3

We piled 3 puppies and one mom dog into the car and set off for Vancouver Island. The plan was to drive to Vancouver, catch a ferry and land in Nanaimo, BC where we would meet the new owners of 2 of the puppies (Dora & Cliff). Then we would head off to Victoria with …

Another Wonderful Christmas

Christmas 2021 was a beauty! We still got three puppies and some family dropped in to join in the festivities. Obviously my kids were up nice and early to open their Christmas gifts. I told them the night before not to wake me up before 7am (because I say up pretty late with the puppies). …

The Broken Heart of a Puppy Dad

If you follow my blog or photography at all you know our dog Juneau had puppies recently. The puppies have been so much work and it’s been a wild ride raising these puppies the last two months. I’ve spent many late nights with the puppies, playing with them, feeding them, cleaning up after them and …

Film Reflection

If you watched the video in my last post you’ve already seen this picture, if you haven’t then wa-la! 😉 I didn’t plan this photo out. I was just taking pictures of my son sitting on his bike and I couldn’t help but notice the reflection in the window to my right. After I was …

CineStill 800T Video

I shot a video of while I was shooting CineStill film photos with Cameron the other night. I really love this film because of the unique look it has to it. This video is part 1 or 2 because I am trying to keep the videos short. I will release part 2 next week. Thanks …

Vintage Snowman

My wife bought this awesome vintage snowman decoration for our house. I think it was supposed to just sit on your lawn or something, but I thought it would look better on our fence, so that’s where I put it. I love the smiling face of the snow man so I got a little closer …

CineStill Cameron

I loaded up a roll of CineStill 800T 35mm film loaded into my Canon EOS 3 and as I was walking out the door to go shoot some photos my son Cameron asked me where I was going. I told him and asked him if he wanted to come with me, he did. 🙂 Since …

Gate No.3 in Kelowna

When I shot this photo I was actually looking for a spot to get a shot of a couple buildings. This gate with all the weird metal behind it kind of caught my eye. The old Gate No.3 sign and the metal structure behind the fence work well together and I though it’d make a …

Watching The Lights

This massive Christmas tree of lights is so great! I’ve driven by it so many times since I moved to Kelowna, but this was actually the first time I went up close to it. I’ve been meaning to shoot a photo of this light tree for a couple years now, so I’m happy I finally …

Leica CL Rangefinder

Did I ever mention this beautiful 35mm Leica CL rangefinder film camera I have? I actually got this before I got my Leica M3, but the M3 has such a big reputation that the M3 kind of over shadowed this little beauty this past summer. I actually really love this camera. It’s small, light, beautifully …
