I spent last weekend in Nelson, BC. I didn’t get out to shoot photos as much as I would have liked, but I did get out one night to take this picture of the Big Orange Bridge. The moonlight was especially bright and it really added something special to the picture. I shot about 5 different angles before landing at this one. Once I saw this shot on my LCD, I knew it wasn’t going to get any better than that.

So as you may already know my family and I took a trip to Cancun Mexico recently. As you can imagine I took a lot of pictures. I will be sharing some of the Mexico pictures on here over the next little while, but I though I’d drop a bunch at once right now to give you an idea of how the trip looked. It was warm, fun and I’m looking forward to the next one!

Just a random shot of a colorful alley in Sandpoint, Idaho. I was just walking around this little town one day when I was passing through and thought the alley looked pretty cool. It’s probably a little bright for your typical alley shot, but I thought it worked because of all the color.

I was down in Great Falls, Montana over the last weekend. I drove by this massive flag while I was there and knew I had to get a sunset shot with that flag. I would have liked to have also had the town in the picture, but I still like how this one looks.

I dropped in on the Marriott hotel on the weekend to grab a coffee from the Starbucks in there. As soon as I entered the hotel I saw this wonderful Gingerbread town. This little mouse who was just chill’n on a bridge especially caught my eye, so I took a picture of him and went on my way. 🙂

I very quickly shot this photo as I was turning into Banff one evening. I had my camera sitting on my passenger seat and when I got to the turn, I checked to see if there was anyone coming behind me. It looked like I had the corner to my self for the time being, so I grabbed my camera and capped off a few shutter clicks before I saw someone coming up the ramp. Shooting so quick isn’t ideal, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the shot :).

This is an old picture I found a hard drive I was poking around on yesterday. I used to live 20 minutes away from Bellingham (Washington), so I would spend a lot of time there. This is just a random snap I took while walking around one day :).

I was shooting a house in Chestermere (20 min east of Calgary) a couple of weeks ago when I noticed some water slides across the highway. I drove over after my shoot to check them out, but there was not entrance to be found. Eventually I came across some old beat up fence with an over grown road and a little entry hut. After asking around a little I found out that the water park had opened up for only one year in the 1980’s. I guess the people who put it together did a bad job and people where getting hurt on the slides because the connections where not put together right. From what I heard, it closed after that one summer to never be opened up again.
I took these pictures with a Phantom 3 Professional drone. One day I want to get inside the premises and take some pictures from the inside with a proper camera. We’ll see about gaining entry though.

Over the weekend my 2 boys and I took an hour and half drive north east of Calgary to Drumheller, Alberta. They have a wonderful dinosaur museum in Drumeller and my boys loved it! The town itself is pretty small and has a whole dinosaur theme going on, which is fun for the kids. As you can see from the first picture, they have a massive T-Rex built by a park. You can walk up inside of the T-Rex and take a look out side of his mouth. I didn’t snap any pictures from there, because it was way to packed. I’ll grab a shot from the mouth next time though ;).

All photos shot with a Canon 6D, 50mm 1.4 & 17-40L. Some shots a with a Canon 580EXii Speedlite.
So a couple of weeks ago I got a message from my cousin Ryan whom I haven’t heard from in a while. Turns out him and his girlfriend Kelsey were going to be coming through town and he wanted to meet up. Of course I will always make time for friends and family (and strangers haha) coming through Calgary, but in this case it was going to be even more fun then usual. As it turns out Ryan and Kelsey were going to be spending some time in Banff and they wanted to shoot some photos! Yay! I love Banff and I love shooting photos, bonus ;).
I met up with Ryan and Kelsey last weekend and we took a little burn around the town and shot some photos. I had a lot of fun on this shoot, because I know Ryan and even thought I had just met his girlfriend for the fist time, it felt like I already knew her. The comfortably factor made for a very easy going and fun shoot! Here are some of the pictures we got.

I shot this one from the ferry while pulling into Port Townsend, Washington. I am a big fan of old buildings and houses and Port Townsend has an abundance of both. The architecture alone is enough for me to fall in love with the place, but just about everything else there did it for me too :). Visit Port Townsend!

This is a look down Front Street in beautiful Penticton, BC Canada. Walking down this street gives a feeling of walking through a post card, everything is almost perfect. Brick buildings in odd shapes always do it for me and this particular Sassy corner did not disappoint.

One night while I was in Port Townsend WA this summer, I went out to get some night shots. This was one of the first pictures I took because the window you look through in this picture is my hotel’s lobby. I was staying at the Palace Hotel and the street you’re looking down here is Tyler Street I believe. Anyhow, I thought the sign in the shot might make for a good picture, since it says Port Townsend and all :).
