thought of the day...

Wish I was here:

on the highway, dogs & N next to me, tent in the back and canoe on the car.

In a season of white...

I thought I'd share some colour to cheer us all up! Here's a selection of some of my favourite 'colours of nature' shots that I've taken over the past few years. (l-r: Grand Canyon, AZ; North Cross Lake, MB; Cape Breton, NS)

Winter has arrived...

Friends, like wind-weary sailors kissed by frost
arrive at my doorstep
Tippy-toed penguins skating to the stoop
to enjoy steamy elixirs and trivial pursuit in darkened basements.
Waiting.
For eyelashes to unstick.

I'm gonna fry this sucka...

Do you feel sad for this potato?
Well you shouldn't...potatoes have no feelings, whereas ordinary humans like me go a little crazy after staring at a potato for a week straight. That's right: you should feel sad for me, because I had to come up with ways to make you feel emotions when look at pictures of a potato! Here's the final selection of 10 images (from over 200 actual potato shots!) I may have learned alot about portraying emotion and viewer reaction to my images, but I don't know if I can ever look at a french fry the same again.

Best of the Zoo

Were they eager to eat me, posing for the camera, or just waiting for feeding time? I guess we'll never know, but good conditions and good timing at the zoo made for some fun animals shots!

Thanks to K for the company while shooting this assignment. :)
