Today, I headed back to one of my favorite walking spots: Beaver Creek. But instead of taking one of the trails along the creek, I decided to hit the 3.2km Living Sky Trail that goes around the conservation area showing off both the prairie landscape as well as the South Saskatchewan River. I hiked this […]
Two years ago, I drove out to Wadena to see the wetlands which were marked as an international area of interest for birds. About a kilometer from the trailhead, 2 meters of the road had been washed out and I couldn’t go any further. Very disappointing considering that it was a 2-hour drive to get […]
At the end of August, my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. I decided to take them out to shoot some pictures quickly before we headed to dinner. We went to the gardens at Innovation Place and did a quick walk around. It’s tough doing pictures for family, but I think I got a few […]
One thing I’m a little scared of with doing photo sessions for people is the event thing. If it’s a regular session and you make a mistake, it’s not a big deal because you can call people back. But events are different; there’s no second chance! I was asked if I wanted to take some […]
I had that chance this past long weekend to do another photo session. An old friend from high school who was often our model in graphic art class was in town this weekend and let me practice on her and her beautiful family. The shoot was tricky, but I had a blast and I think […]
The Meewasin Valley Authority has a number of programs all year around and I finally had the chance to do one of their historical walks yesterday. This one was their “Downtown & Gargoyles” walk. I knew we had a few old buildings left and that they had some pretty cool architecture, but I never really […]
I was lucky enough today to have been able to do another photo session. This time, with kids! Shooting pictures of kids is tough – I learned that very quickly in the studio! I always joke that it’s like wildlife photography and to a certain extent, it’s true. You really do have to sit and […]
As I’m sure you’ve noticed on my site here, I’ve really been enjoying spending more time doing photography lately. While I do spend time ‘professionally’ in a studio doing portraits, but I haven’t done much portraiture outside of work and not for many years. So, I asked my friends on Facebook a couple of weeks […]
Today I got to take the stage at the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival with the Toon Town Big Band for our performance at the free stage. It’s always a blast playing for the crowds. My neighbour took some pictures of us that I just had to share.
A few months ago, I went to Beaver Creek with my mom and noticed a couple signs from the Meewasin Valley Authority that I’d never seen before. They were maps of the different parks and conservation areas around Saskatoon. I saw that there were supposed to be a few boat launches south of the river […]
