Alley Futon @ Sunset
I'd love it if the iPhone had a viewfinder. Trying to see what's on my screen with the sun setting behind me is a near impossible task (and I don't believe in screen protectors).
The alleys in my neighborhood are so wide, you could almost justify two lane traffic. And many houses are raised, so you see little hidden cement stairs to get to back yards, and the occasional underground garage.

Anscoflex II: Test Shot
So the test shots for this value village camera I bought turned out much better than expected. You'll be seeing more of this type of photography very soon.

Just Dandy
Sometime my wife and I leave the house. It usually involves going somewhere to get something salty, sweet, and bad for us but occasionally it's exercise and this Sunday morning walk got me thinking of photographing up close. Armed with my Canon S90, I took aim at the details today. I always heard this was a nice camera for macro, and as you can see it does a decent job, though admittedly this is a huuuuge dandelion. This shot is slightly cropped and straightened, then processed in Lightroom 3.

Soon to be Dad
I was up in Edmonton a couple weeks ago, to see my brother Adam and his wife Melanie in the hospital, as they were preparing for the arrival of baby John.
My brother is a goofball in front of the camera, so you have to sneak up on him, catch him when he's lost in his own thoughts to get genuine emotion on film. I really mean film this time too, as I figured my little Pentax K1000 was a little more unobtrusive than my Canon 5D.
A little tip for film lovers. Buy your own scanner. I use the Epson V500, and since I just ask my developer (yes, I mean Walmart) to give me the negatives, (which can be as fast as 20 minutes) it costs me $2.50 instead of $10, and a lot less bulk via stacks of 4x6's I wont need, or use. Oh and did I mention the pictures look better?

Calgary City Skyline 2010
I love skyline shots. They give a real taste for what one can expect when visiting a city. I'm also a big fan of urban architecture. A unique skyline is something I look for when visiting other cities, and one of the things I've always loved about Calgary, ever since I moved here over ten years ago.
