In the spring I sold my Leica M3. I enjoyed the camera, but I wasn’t using it as much as I thought I should be. I also found myself using other cameras a lot, but it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy the M3, I just had other cameras I wanted to try. So I though …

Leica + Canon
I’ve been shooting with a collapsable Leica Summicron 50mm f2 lens (see 2nd photo) on my Leica M3. I have enjoyed using the lens and I am happy with the results I get with it, but pulling the lens out every time I want to take a picture has got a little annoying. On top …
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 …
Meet Dora The Labrador Puppy
I guess I haven’t mentioned this here yet, but my dog Juneau had puppies! This is Juneau’s daughter Dora! Dora is the only girl Golden Lab puppy Juneau had, so we are going to be keeping her. We got 8 other beautiful little puppies here right now though and I’m finding it hard to accept …
Oilers Self Portrait
I have been setting up a studio in my house for the past little while. I finally got most of it together just in time to shoot a quick self portrait for the start of the Edmonton Oilers season. I didn’t spend too much time on this photo because I just got the studio together …
Minolta Maxxum 8000i
Some cameras come and go. In my case, a lot of cameras come and go! Some cameras however just hang around for years and years and never seem to find another owner. Like this beautiful old Minolta Maxxum 8000i. I’ve had this camera kicking around for ages! I haven’t used it in a super long …
Wine
This was a fun picture to take. I had one large softbox set up to camera right. The background was a board with a bunch of white lights stuck to it with crinkled tinfoil stuck in between them. I shot this handheld while a friend of mine poured the wine into the glass. We made …
A Laugh, A Jump & A Bump
It was insanely cold in Calgary yesterday, so rather than brave the Canadian elements I’d opted to make it an In-Day. My 2 sons and I decided shooting some photos in the basement would be a fun time and was it ever! We had some laughs, jumps and only one person got hurt! haha. Both …
Fun at Canon Image Square
On Saturday a friend of mine and I met up downtown for a street photography mission. We started walking up 8th Avenue shooting random photos of people walking by and interesting things we saw. As we were walking along something very interesting caught my eye, it was the Canon Image Square. I had heard about …
Studio Time with Mr. Blackman
A couple of days ago I was sitting in my office editing photos when I got a text message that read “Hey Rob, you still in Calgary?” I quickly replied with a “Yes” and “Who is this?” haha. To my delighted surprise it was my old buddy from Toronto Damian aka Mr. Blackman. Damian said …
