Shared from Patricia Gakis Music: Several years ago, someone asked me if I played in Manitou earlier that summer. I had no idea what they were talking about so they explained that there was a ukulele group playing at a busking festival there. I still had no idea what they were talking about. A busking […]
Blog post from PatriciaGakisImagery.com: This past Saturday, June 15, was the Motorcycle Ride For Dad in Saskatoon. This event has been held annually across Canada since 2000 to raise money for prostate cancer research. The Saskatoon ride is quite an adventure starting at the Western Development Museum on Lorne Avenue and heading north through Martensville, […]
This year, so far, has been one of the craziest that I’ve ever had and not in a good way. Hopefully, I’ll be able to update this blog with those details soon but some of it is still a little raw. However, like to show off some of my recent photo work I’ve spent a […]
As usual, I’m a bit behind in my posts. I’ll be writing about what happened shortly but first, I’d like to shared some photos and thought’s from February 7th. Since my life has been taken over by health problems, I’ve found myself in a rough situation professionally. My career in the sciences was never going […]
I don’t know why but we’ve often found that the blue jays who frequent our feeders will randomly disappear for sometimes months at a time. Then, out of nowhere, they’ll come back and scream at us for peanuts. Months later, they disappear again. This November, they came back to us and oh my, are they […]

Since the release of digital cameras and smartphones, in particular, everyone has become a photographer. In theory, this is awesome since it allows everyone the opportunity to show their world […]
When the Chief Mistawasis Bridge was first opened in the fall of 2018, it was frustrating to see that the beauty of the South Saskatchewan River valley was hidden. I assume the city just looked for the cheapest design which is understandable but annoying nonetheless. Luckily, there’s enough on display to tip off photographers and […]
I’m just going to come out and say it: This has not been a good summer for me. I usually complain about the weather not being just right for whatever summer activities I have planned. In the past few years, it’s been my health also getting in the way of plans. This year, I learned […]
Last year, I was invited to North Battleford to do some public astronomy programming. Unfortunately, I was too busy with wedding shoot planning and editing and I was unable to find anyone else who was interested. I was contacted again this year but as I am no longer a member of the astronomy club both […]
This July, we have a furry little visitor with us. With her humans out of the country, Penny the poodle is staying with us. She was pretty homesick for the first week so I was desperately trying to distract her and what better distraction for a dog than a walk! Bella and I hadn’t done […]
