In the summer, while preparing to shoot a major event, I bought several things for my camera. Some were legitimate purchases for the event in question but others were definitely just for fun. This included a set of close-up filters. Macro photography was one of the first things in photography that I really took to […]
It happens sooner or later. The seasons march on and when they do, the season of cold eventually comes to freeze our buns off. So, like busy beavers, we empty our flower pots and pack away our patio furniture. In the midst of all this work, I decided to take one last trip before cleaning […]
After over 2 1/2 months of allegedly waiting for a part, I finally got my car back which means…kayak time! Sure, I could have used my parent’s vehicle but because they have an SUV, I find it hard to hoist Lil Red up there. Especially after a paddle when I’m tired. So the first calm […]
Back in June, I was lucky to be able to shoot graduation photos for two lovely ladies. One of the shoots was at the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo. While they no longer have the peacocks roaming the grounds, the geese were out in full force. While waiting for my client and her family to […]
I wasn’t sure if I would get to do any camping this year. Last year’s solo trip to Cypress Hills proved that I can still adventure on my own but I struggled in part due to the heat. While planning an astronomy event at Pike Lake this summer, I made the decision to camp there […]

This post is coming very late as the local Pride parade was a month ago but as they say, “better late than never!” The first couple of Pride parades that I went to were so much fun but as it has grown over the years, I’ve found it harder and harder to go watch it. […]
In my last post, I wrote about the weirdness of spring in Saskatchewan. While the blooming of crocuses is an important sign of spring here, there’s another one that gets people excited: the return of the pelicans. The American White Pelican migrates to the Canadian prairies every spring. One of the best places to see […]
Spring in Saskatchewan is so ugly. We go from a melty but freezing flood to everything being dead and brown. After several weeks of that, every suddenly goes green. There are very few things that come slowly and overlap to create a beautiful spring, like in other places in the world. Here’s one of the […]
When I was a child, I used to love art. Drawing and painting were so much fun and by my tween years, I was getting pretty decent at it. My grade 8 teacher often wanted to keep my work for examples for the following years. I would have loved to take art classes in high […]
