On Sunday I went to this cool Instagram meet up put on by @YYCinstameets. Everyone met up by the store down the street from my house and then we all went on a photo walk around my neighbourhood. It was pretty cool! This cute little doggy came along for the trip and I snapped this …

Warm Wedding in the Cold: Tamilla & Alain
Tamilla & Alain decided to have a winter wedding, , , in Calgary! Technically, winter doesn’t start will December 22nd, but around here I’d say it starts the day after halloween. I was totally expecting snow and was wondering how this wedding was going to go leading up the date. Lucky for us, the weather …
Happy Veterans & Remembrance Day
Massive big up to all the veterans who served their country! Incase someone doesn’t know, it’s Veterans Day today in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada. This field of crosses is set up here in Calgary, Alberta Canada. It’s a nice thing to do to remind everyone of what people gave up in …
City Night Love
I love the city at night! The lights, the people, cars, trains and whatever else is going on. Being a part of all that happens in a city at night makes me feel alive and there is no where else I’d rather be in that moment. Lucky for me, shooting photos of a city at night …
Hipster Camera on The Hip
I had the idea for this shot for one reason, to show off the cool looking Canon A-1. I think the A1 looks extra cool with the grip attached to it, so I was thinking of how I could get a good picture with the camera being the main focal point and not just have …
Summer Skyline
I shot this one back in early September and then forgot about it haha. I was driving by this little park on my way to a photo shoot when I saw a hill I could probably get a shot from. Since I had plenty of time to get to my shoot I decided to make …
4th Street Lights
The lights that line 4th Street in Calgary are wonderful at night. I wish all the streets looked like this. For this shot I had waited till some cars were waiting for the light to change, that way the street wouldn’t just be streaks of light. When shooting long exposures on the street it’s hard …
Pre-Focus Run
I like getting pictures of people running from this part of the city. The skyline background just does it for me somehow. On this day I posed a bit of challenge to myself. I wanted to get a shot of someone running, well, , , a woman running, because people like pictures of women running …
The Moon
On my way home from a lovely evening spent and at an Italian restaurant downtown last night, I noticed the moon look pretty clear. As soon as I got home I quickly got my gear together and ran back out the door. I think I would have got a better shot if I was about …
Permanent Gaze
I hit the streets on Saturday night and found my self at City Hall. I shot a few different photos before I wandered over to this horse statue. I though full body might be cool, but I decided to go for just the head and show more detail. Another plus for getting in closer is …
Commuting Calgary – Canon FD
I have been on a bit of vintage lens kick lately. I recently got my hands on a Canon FD 80-200mm f4 SSC. This is the first test shot I took with the lens on my Sony a7ii. The combination of these old Canon lenses on the a7ii is awesome and super fun to use. …
Rick with a Canon FD 85mm
This is Rick and he is one of the Realtors I work with. Rick wanted new picture for his blog and I wanted to try shooting headshot with my 1970’s Canon 85mm f/1.8 on a Sony A7ii. Shooting such shallow depth of field with these old manual focus lenses definitely slows things down. Shooting in this …
Rocky City Sunset
Yesterday evening, straight after dinner I raced out of my house to a predetermined location. When I got in my car the sun was starting to set and I worried I had waited to long to leave. By the time I got to the location the sky had not yet turned colourful. This was good, …
