Bruno’s Project – April

Running in the park, Easter, and a new puppy in the house.  Easter was a good month. Week 14 was a simple photo of Bruno living the good life, with his coat flowing in the breeze as he runs in the park. ———- Week 15 was Easter, and a long anticipated appearance from “the EasterContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – April”

Bruno’s Project – March

March saw the continuation of winter, Bat-Bru (his amazing Batman impersonation), shoving his nose in a “namast’ay in bed” mug, and warm paws.  This guy is a good model. Winter Boots Week 9 was a trip to the park for Julia and Bruno that ended in a drag through the snow.  Julia was more thanContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – March”

Bruno’s project – February 2017

Bruno’s project in February saw  winter weather, school drop off, a valentine’s photo and an in absentia vacation photo. A Little Closer For Week 5 “a little closer” I took him to the frozen pond and this is what he came up with.  Worked out so much better than what I was trying to frameContinue reading “Bruno’s project – February 2017”

Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on

2017 is a new year, and time to start a new 52 week dog photo project.  This will be my fifth year doing a weekly dog photo project, and I must admit it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find photos that I haven’t done before.  So, there may be repeats in 2017, but hopefully not tooContinue reading “Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on”

Bruno’s project – November & December 2016

It’s hard to believe that Bruno’s 12 month project is over for 2016.  From jumping in the yard like a dolphin to all the fun of the Christmas season.  But, lots more of him to come as he moves into a weekly project in 2017. Dolphin Jumping His first November project photo “dolphin jumping” wasContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November & December 2016”

Eva’s project – December. Christmas and the end of the project

The end of December say a finish to Eva’s 52 week project.  And thanks to how the weeks lined up, an extra week was added to make it 53 weeks in total. This month saw temptation over garlic sausage, cold weather and Christmas.   It’s been another fun project to do with her and I’ve reallyContinue reading “Eva’s project – December. Christmas and the end of the project”

26 Bridges – Winter on the Old CPR Rail Bridge

I have not forgotten about the bridge project, but I have had a little break from it because of a busy schedule.  I did make it out again last week to do some photos at the old CPR rail bridge.  It was a chilly day with wind chill below -30c, but there was hoar frostContinue reading “26 Bridges – Winter on the Old CPR Rail Bridge”

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. The Bird Code Week 40 “the bird code” was taken under the Idylwylde bridge. This summer Saskatoon commissioned local born artistContinue reading “Eva’s project – October”

Bruno’s project – September & October

September and October were relatively lean months in Bruno’s project.  A total of three images to show, all of which were from diverse geographical locations.  Bounding out of the lake, kitchen window guard dogs and sitting on a column in Rome. With Great Gusto His September photo “with great gusto” shows what happens when he boundsContinue reading “Bruno’s project – September & October”

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”

Eva’s project – September

September is done, and saw the transition towards fall.  It also saw four more photos in Eva’s weekly project, including one of an “open can standoff”, the doggy version of a Mexican Standoff. Hood Ornament Week 36 “hood ornament” was the final dock photo of the season.  It was a chilly September long weekend andContinue reading “Eva’s project – September”

Bruno’s project – July & August – Go Jump in a Lake

Much of the summer months in Bruno’s project appear to have happened at Emma lake.  It was a good summer.  Lets just say that when someone tells him to “go jump in a lake”, he takes them very literally. Some People Just Look Good in Hats His first July photo “some people just look goodContinue reading “Bruno’s project – July & August – Go Jump in a Lake”

Eva’s project – August

Eva’s project is now well over half way done.  August has been another good month here, although it did end a little colder than expected. Eva’s August saw both paddle boarding and ice cream, and no one could ever complain about that. Under Broadway Week 32 “under broadway” is just me hanging out with EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – August”

new print – “lego date on the traffic bridge”

Even though the real traffic bridge is gone, it does live on in Lego form.  This model was created by Andre Lalonde and has been displayed at the Western Development museum.  I met up with Andre at the WDM and got advance access to the event so I could photograph his amazing bridge model.  OtherContinue reading “new print – “lego date on the traffic bridge””

New Prints – “february 7th, 2016”

This is actually a series of three new prints that I have done up from demolition day for the fourth span of Saskatoon’s Victoria traffic bridge.  I wanted to present these as a series in time to try and convey the suddenness of the explosive demolition, and to focus on that I have titled eachContinue reading “New Prints – “february 7th, 2016””

New print – “frosted”

I have been working on making some new prints, some of them from older images.  Continuing on that theme, I have recently revisited this older photo of the Victoria traffic bridge from February 12th, 2010.  The bridge was intact and functional at the time, and the hoar frost that morning was absolutely beautiful. The FrostedContinue reading “New print – “frosted””

New print – “crossings”

This new print is actually an old picture.  I’m compiling a series of Victoria traffic bridge photos to display at Moka in September.  This one is from when it was intact, and still open to traffic.  It’s a longer exposure photo from December 20, 2009.  Those expensive lights on the bridge are nicely lit upContinue reading “New print – “crossings””

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”

New print “load limit”

I’ve been working on putting together new prints of the Victoria Bridge.  In September I have the opportunity to hang these photos as Moka coffee bar in Saskatoon, and I wanted to focus on the old steel bridge.  These will be a collection of shots ranging from 2009 to present, with the bridge in variousContinue reading “New print “load limit””

Portraits of Stitch – a senior Boston terrier

Stitch is an 11 year old Boston terrier belonging to Serena, one of my friends at work.  He had a bit of a health bump earlier this year, so Serena asked me to do a photo session with him.  I was happy to oblige.  He is a great pup – super handsome and well behaved.Continue reading “Portraits of Stitch – a senior Boston terrier”

Eva’s project – July

July was a good month.  Lots of time spent out of the city at the cabin.  For Eva this meant swimming, canoe rides, and chill time.  I think I captured some of that here. Incognito Week 27 “incognito” was in response to a hats challenge in the 52 weeks group.  Eva has a tiny head,Continue reading “Eva’s project – July”
