Eva’s project – June

Hard to believe that the project is now half finished.  June saw a darn good puddle, deal making and dock jumping. The Official Start to Summer Week 23 “the official start of summer” featured a staple of summer in our family – dock diving at the cabin.   No fancy dogversation to go with, asContinue reading “Eva’s project – June”

Bruno’s 2016 project – May and June

May and June have come and gone.  And five more photos have been added to Bruno’s project.  Enjoying what summer has to offer – plus a little light reading.  He really is a good dog. Take Me Out to the Ball Game His first May photo “take me out to the ball game” was fromContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 project – May and June”

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”

Starbucks on Broadway

The Starbucks on Broadway just had a renovation, and the place looks great.  I’ve been fortunate enough to have some photos hanging there since 2014, and I was delighted that they offered me continued display space after the renovation. I took the time to do a little reorganization of the prints on display.  Bruno ofContinue reading “Starbucks on Broadway”

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.  He spent time on a life raft, had an absentee photo while were away, flew like a wizard and ended the month with a Slumber Party.  And as always, Bruno continues toContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 project – March and April”

Eva’s project – April

April has had a little back and forth with the weather – spring to winter to spring to summer, and all in such a short time.  Eva’s project continued including shots at napping home, being photobludgeoned in the tennis courts, bird brained and chilling in the yard and having “tweet dreams” and at the cabin.Continue reading “Eva’s project – April”

26 bridges – the Lego Traffic Bridge

The fifth of my bridge photo project is a bit of an atypical one.  The real traffic bridge is in the process of being demolished, but it shall live on in Lego form.  A local Lego enthusiast Andre Lalonde has made a five span replica of the bridge, and it is very impressive.  Very coolContinue reading “26 bridges – the Lego Traffic Bridge”

Eva’s 2016 project – March

March has come and gone – and with it winter seems to have left.  A winter sunrise, ceramic birds, putting a doggy door on the fridge and applying for a job as a bird spotting guide.  Another busy month for Eva. Frozen Sunrise Week 10’s photo “frozen sunrise” was taken during a weekend trip toContinue reading “Eva’s 2016 project – March”

Eva’s 2016 project – February

February saw some winter weather, the under side of the Idylwyld bridge and treat catching in Eva’s project.  That and she is the only tobogganing dog that I have ever met. Eva and 22 Birds Under Idylwyld Week 6 “Eva and 22 birds under idylwyld” combined Eva’s weekly photo with another mini-project that I amContinue reading “Eva’s 2016 project – February”

Eva’s 2016 project – January

2016 is upon us and it is Eva’s turn to do the weekly photos.  She is likely looking forward to the project – as the camera and it’s associated dog treats really get her excited.  For the first month of the project – overhead views, a historic bridge, intense eye contact, vintage star wars actionContinue reading “Eva’s 2016 project – January”

26 bridges “rail bridge birds”

The second photo outing of my bridges project yielded four photos that I was quite happy with.  I combined this outing with a compositional goal of using triangles in the photos.  The bridge that I focused on was the old CPR rail bridge.  There were more birds than people out, so they became a secondaryContinue reading “26 bridges “rail bridge birds””

Bruno’s 2016 – January & February

The start of the new year means the start of a new dog photo project for me.  This year Bruno will be doing a more infrequent monthly project, with up to 3 photos per month. The first January photo “mr. serious” shows Bruno’s serious side.  Something that was rare in his 2015 project photos.  AlsoContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 – January & February”

26 bridges – further demolition of the old traffic bridge

And then there was one. Another segment of the traffic bridge in Saskatoon was brought down by explosives today. It was built in 1907 and originally had 5 spans of iron truss bridge. Today only one span remains in place. I will miss this piece of history and hope that the city replaces it withContinue reading “26 bridges – further demolition of the old traffic bridge”

the playmobil photographer

In 2013 I borrowed a Playmobil character from one of my children’s sets for part of a photo project with Kael.  This little test shot in 2013 was a random stroke of good luck as I really like how it all came together, with the details of the photographer and the light on the kitchenContinue reading “the playmobil photographer”

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.  A spider-man toque, some kung fu fighting and Christmas decorations helped make up this month’s photos.  That and a reminder to keep calm and hug aContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November”
