Agnes – November and a start on Christmas
Last November was a fun month with Agnes. Her comfort in front of the camera and modeling skills continued to grow. She is now a total pro.

Bruno – Walking on Water. July to September 2018
I do love summer, especially at the cabin. Seeing that Bruno is a lover of all things water, it’s no surprise that his July photos involve waiting to dock jump and dock jumping including some walking on water. August and September saw the breakfast club, playing in the tennis courts and waiting for visitors. DeckContinue reading “Bruno – Walking on Water. July to September 2018”
26 Bridges – The Rise of the Traffic Bridge
I’ll admit that this is a delayed post. Saskatoon’s new traffic bridge is set to officially open tomorrow (October 2, 2018). These photos have been on my hard drive for far too long as they are from a trip to the river to document building the bridge during a -40 celcius morning on February 7,Continue reading “26 Bridges – The Rise of the Traffic Bridge”

Bruno’s project – November 2017
We had an abrupt early start to winter. On November first we had a moderately large snow-storm and are now sitting at a very cold -30c with the wind chill. The cold stayed for much of the month so Bruno’s project has one snowy image and several relaxed indoor photos. The hard life of aContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November 2017”
Agnes’ Project – September and October – Rescue Puppy
Agnes the rescue puppy has continued to adjust and fit in in our house.

Agnes’ Project – July & August 2017

Bruno’s Project – August 2017
Bruno (and frankly all of us in our family) continued to live the good summer life in August. Lots more time at the lake, and even a solar eclipse to boot.

Eva’s project – November
Eva’s project in November saw a bit of a warm November transition into the Christmas season. It saw a revisit of the “She’s Crazy” shots, off lead in the park, her sniffer, and some cuddles and cocoa. She’s Still Crazy Week 45 “she’s still crazy” was a revisit from Kael’s project in 2013 when EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – November”
Eva’s project – October
Eva’s project was quite varied in October. From hanging out under a bridge to finding her published in the Flydogs book and then a trip for me to Rome. It was a busy time.

Photographing Rome with David DuChemin
I have just returned from an eagerly anticipated trip to Rome. I traveled by myself to spend a week photographing the eternal city with David DuChemin and a small group of other photographers. It was a wonderful experience in a beautiful historic city. The city was good, the weather was great, and the time toContinue reading “Photographing Rome with David DuChemin”
New print “last span standing” – the end of the Victoria Traffic Bridge
The Victoria traffic bridge in Saskatoon was an elegant landmark. Opened in 1907, it has been a big part of Saskatoon ever since. I personally loved this bridge, including it’s character and too-narrow roadway. But, it became corroded and unsafe so demolition was needed. Today this is the last span standing. This picture was takenContinue reading “New print “last span standing” – the end of the Victoria Traffic Bridge”
Eva’s project – May
May saw some some beautiful spring weather in Saskatoon. Perfect for a photo project. Lens flare, fresh grass, Eva’s namesake from WALL-E, and a three part portrait at the lake. Halo Week 19 “halo” was a back-lit photo in the park. Love the way her crazy ear hair glows in the light, and that smileContinue reading “Eva’s project – May”
Bruno’s 2016 project – March and April
Two more months of 2016 have sped by, and we transitioned from “the winter that never was” to spring and maybe even summer.

And as always, Bruno continues toContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 project – March and April”

Bruno’s project – November
November is done, and that only leaves one month left in Bruno’s 2015 project. This month saw the weather transition into winter, and the start of the holiday season.

Merry Britmas
What’s a happy Christmas to a Brittany Spaniel? A Merry Britmas! Starting to get into the Christmas spirit here. We put the tree up the other day, and lets just say that Eva is a bigger fan of baking than decorating. She’s a smart pup. Merry Britmas
new print – “broadway morning”
I have a new print available for purchase. It’s a river level view of the Broadway Bridge in Saskatoon on a cold -30c morning with steam rising off the unfrozen river. Cold mornings like this hold a special kind of beauty for me. The source image … And how it looksContinue reading “new print – “broadway morning””
bruno’s project – october
We’ve been having a beautiful fall out here on the prairies, and the October portion of Bruno’s project is partly reflective of that. Oh yeah, and a ghost showed up too.
