Another Ordinary Sunday
This was taken on set for the “Waiting For Godot” shoot for Theatre Encounter in Calgary.
On Set Waiting For Godot
On set for Theatre Encounters – Waiting for Godot. I brought in two 2400ws packs with a 6 foot box, 3 foot box and 4 heads. Enough power to cook a small chicken with and help keep a cast warm in the factory! I could light up a 15 foot area and still shoot at [...]

Another photograph was chosen as my first pick so this one remained un flagged or colour coded. This morning I was grazing over photos looking for a fresh [...]

Here is the latest in my series of forest pans on an epic scale. This image was taken by the Marble Canyon campground in Kootenay National Park in BC, Canada. The forest is regenerating from the 2003 fire which started by lightning. This image measures in at 24,000 pixels on the long side.

Low-Fi Summer
A Fall wind blew through Banff Alberta the last couple of days reminding us residents of the Bow Valley that summer is like a windstorm. It comes as fast as it goes, leaves you a bit unexpectedly and you are never quite sure if it really happened. On a similar note, this year we are [...]
