The Mac store on 5th Avenue in Manhattan has to be one of the neatest places I’ve seen.  Given that it’s all below ground (except for a clear glass box with apple logo at street level) I am unsure if it technically qualifies as a building or not.  Either way, cool place filled with coolContinue reading “mac store in NYC”

There’s always something going on in New York.  On my way to see the New York Public library on 5th Avenue, this group of street performers were putting on a show.  I decided to watch,  chose some prime seating with good framing of the public library in the background and enjoyed the show.  They wereContinue reading “street performers at New York Public library”

I was fortunate to be in New York in May.  I love that city, and the photographic opportunities are amazing.  During my last day there I walked the Brooklyn Bridge, with wonderful light as it kept shifting between light showers and sunshine.  The bridge is great itself with the supports and cable work, but IContinue reading “love locks on the Brooklyn Bridge”

June has now finished so another month in Eva’s 52 week project for 2014 is finished.  Big changes this month with the addition of Bruno to the family. Week 22 celebrated Kael’s inclusion in Cottage Life West.  Although, to look at Eva’s eyes I’m not sure celebration was the word she would have chosen.  MoreContinue reading “Eva’s project – June”

  It’s hard to believe that 2014 is moving so quickly and so is Eva’s 52 week project.  Here were her shots from May. Week 18 ‘future friend’.  We received good news in that we will be getting a golden retriever puppy in the end of June.  Here Eva’s checking out a photo of theContinue reading “Eva’s Project – May”

Cottage living is a big part of the summer for us.  And since before we bought a cottage, I’ve been subscribing to Cottage Life magazine.  It’s a great magazine from Western Canada with lots of local stories and information.  They also run a photo contest.  I’ve had photos selected as winners in the contest andContinue reading “cottage life (west)”

    A friend of ours has a loving golden who has been with them through the many changes that life keeps throwing forward.  Angel is now eleven years old and starting to show her age.  She is having trouble with her hips, hind legs, and generally slowing down.  When I showed our friend Kael’sContinue reading “Angel”

The month of April has come to a close, and so has another month of weekly pictures for Eva.  This month saw the arrival of spring, the return of snow and a Brittany Spaniel lamenting the fact that we were out of cheese.  Once again, the week number links back to the posts on flickrContinue reading “Eva’s project – April 2014”

  This is a picture from August 2013, more than eight months ago.  It was an idyllic morning at the cabin, not a wave in sight and over 25 degrees Celsius at 7am.  So I took Kael for an early morning swim and photo session, leaving Eva to watch and mildly complain from the deck.Continue reading “the end of the dock – two ways to get there”

I’m really excited that I now have some photos hanging at Starbucks on Broadway avenue in Saskatoon.  Although most Starbucks are entirely corporate artwork/decorations, the manager at the Broadway location has gone to a lot of effort to keep some of the space for public display and sale of work by local artists.  I haveContinue reading “Chicken Bacon Macchiato – Starbucks on Broadway”

Another month in 2014 has passed, and even though it was the shortest month it contained five pictures for Eva’s 52 weeks for dogs project.  One was in support of the Canadian Olympic team.  Two of the three had to be pre-shot and then again captured from the ipad as we were away on vacationContinue reading “Eva’s project – February”

For Eva’s third week photo of 2014, I combined themes for the photo with that from another group that I participate in on Flickr (Studio 26).  The theme was unusual perspective so I decided a shot from inside the fridge would qualify.  And it shouldn’t be too bad because I have a fridge, a cameraContinue reading “Thoughts from inside the fridge”

Hard to believe that we’re already a month into 2014.  Instead of waiting until the end of the year to share Eva’s project on this web site I thought I would do a monthly update.  Here is how January was in Eva’s 52 week project.  The links (click on the week number) are to theContinue reading “Eva’s project – January”

In October 2013 I went to a conference in Philadelphia.  I had never been to the city before and spent most of the daylight hours in the conference.  I did, however, manage to find about four hours over my time there to take the camera out.  I loved the architecture and all of the littleContinue reading “Philadelphia”

2014 is here, and it’s time to start a new personal project.  Last year I was involved in the 52 weeks for dogs group on Flickr, and really enjoyed my time taking photos of Kael, and sharing them in an on-line community.  Having the regularized schedule of one unique photo of Kael every week reallyContinue reading “52 weeks of Eva”

The Holidays are coming to an end, and I just want to wish people a happy new year and all the best for 2014. This photo was from a morning photoshoot I did in a wheat field last September.  One of my goals for 2014 is returning to the fields to capture some more stereotypicalContinue reading “Happy New Year 2014”

Oliver was one of the best, and we lost him to cancer last year.  At some point in 2014 I’ll do a post with his photos. He received excellent cancer care at the University of Saskatchewan Western College of VeterinaryMedicine. During his treatments, my wife met up with one of the college’s photographers Myrna MacdonaldContinue reading “Merry Christmas from Oliver and the Western College Veterinary Medicine”

  I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m quite excited so I’ll mention it again.  My prints are up at Moka coffee bar and will be there until January 28th.  If you’re in the neighbourhood – drop by, have a coffee and check out the prints. Specifics about which prints can be found here. The postingContinue reading “Moka – photos on display!”

A while ago I started listing some photos with Getty images as stock photos. Apparently, one of Kael’s photos fit with a story about the scientific empathy of dog yawns.  A total of four news agencies went with the story, including Kael’s yawn photo in their web versions.  This included ABC News,  The Daily ExpressContinue reading “Dog Yawns – Kael in the news”

I am someone who loves dogs.  I grew up with dogs and when my wife and I got married and had our first home, we adopted our golden retriever Kael.  She was then followed by another golden retriever Oliver.  And now a Brittany spaniel named Eva. A couple of years ago I started mixing myContinue reading “Personal Project – Kael”

This December and January I am lucky enough to have some photos displayed at Moka coffee shop in Saskatoon.  The coffee shop is located in Lakewood Common, just off Boychuk, south of Taylor St. I’m currently processing, printing and framing up some images for display and sale.  Some likely candidates to be on display areContinue reading “Moka”
