When Canada wins a gold medal in the Olympics, Calgary lights up its Olympic flame for a short period (an hour or so I believe). The day before I shot these I saw the flame on from my bedroom window and thought I’d go out and shoot some photos that night. However after making plans …

Run For It!
As you may know from my last post I was out on a little country drive on Friday. While I was driving I noticed a group of Elk & Deers on the side of the road up a hill, however they were to far to get a good picture, since the longest focal length lens …
Winter Trees
I’m not a big landscape guy, but when I was driving through the country yesterday I couldn’t help but notice this row of trees. I thought it looked kind of cool so I pulled over and took a few shots. At first I thought it would have been better if the sky was completely clear …
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 …
Chilly Skyline
I took this yesterday around 5pm and all though it looks rather nice out, I can assure you it was very cold! I was only out of my car for about 5 minutes before my hands started shaking! haha. I figured that was my cue to head back to my car :). Camera: Canon 5D …
Under A Bridge
With a scene like this I think most people would think to shoot this photo wide and I understand why, but I thought shooting it with a longer focal length might look good too. I’m happy with how the picture turned out, maybe next time I’ll see what I get with a wide-angle. Camera: Canon …
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 …
Sheep Dogs & Strangers in Banff
The other weekend a friend of mine and I headed out to Banff to shoot some photos. It just so happens that there was some type of Olympic block party going on the same weekend! Good luck for us right :). We ripped around Banff shooting photos and when the Sheep Dogs went on we …
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 …
Bright City Sky
A little before Christmas my friend and I went out to shoot some photos when we came across this little lookout park with this nice view of the city. It’s a little uncommon of a view of Calgary, so I kind of like it for that reason. I do prefer the view looking south of …
Winter City
I shot this photo last Saturday, which is supposed to be the first day of winter. I can assure you that winter has been in full effect in the city of Calgary for quite sometime! Anyhow, when I shot this photo I had zero intentions of using it for anything. At the time I was …
Some Big Mountain
I have taken a trip through the Rocky Mountains of Alberta & British Columbia Canada to Vernon BC. While on the drive here yesterday I snapped this shot of some mountain near Banff. There is some rather harsh noise in the sky, but I shot this picture with a point & shoot and did the …
