Agnes is the newest member of our house, and certainly is the wild card in the mix. She came to us from We All Need A Rescue (WANAR) K9 rescue in Saskatoon. At first she was very timid and preferred spending time with Bruno and Eva to us humans. That didn’t last long. Now sheContinue reading “Agnes’ project – May and June 2017”

Bruno’s Project – June 2017
June saw the serious start of cabin season, which is Bruno’s favorite season by far. It also saw a visit form a land shark, the muffin man, the lazy Canuck and a flying retriever. Little Land Shark Week 22’s photo “little land shark” was him playing with Agnes on the deck of the cabin, blurringContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – June 2017”
Bruno’s Project – May 2017
May was a relaxed month for Bruno’s project with no action shots to be had. Week 18 was the first group portrait for the three pups, and it surprisingly turned out better than anticipated. I got it on only the 83rd attempt (not exaggerating). Treats are a good motivating force in our house. Dave: OkayContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – May 2017”
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”
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”
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”
Moka – prints on display
I am pleased to share that I now have some prints on display and for sale at Moka coffee bar. Moka is located at 411i Herold Ct in Saskatoon (off Boychuck between the Yellowhead and Taylor Street). These photos will be on display there until the end of October 2016. When picking photos to display IContinue reading “Moka – prints on display”
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 “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””
26 bridges – Circle Drive North
My bridges project continues, and this time it was a little trip to the Circle Drive North Bridge. A concrete girder bridge at the north end of the city. It was built with two lanes and a walkway on each span, but was later modified to incorporate the pedestrian walkways into traffic lanes and suspend aContinue reading “26 bridges – Circle Drive North”
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”
26 Bridges – Circle drive south and the Grand Trunk Rail bridge
I made it out for another photo shoot on the self-imposed 26 bridges project, taking portraits of Saskatoon’s bridges. This time it was to the Circle Drive South Bridge (recently renamed the Gordie Howe Bridge) and the old Saskatoon Grand Trunk rail bridge. My goal was a sunset photo of both of the bridges, butContinue reading “26 Bridges – Circle drive south and the Grand Trunk Rail bridge”
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”
