Axemen running back Zack Skibin (33) gets tackled at the goal line yet still manages to get the ball into the end zone for Acadia's first touchdown of the game.

This will take a little while longer

I’m still plugging away, editing images from two fairly large photo shoots. One was shot in December, the other earlier this month. I wish both were completed by now, but it’s going to take a little while longer. That’s because I review each and every image from a shoot, and all those selected for upload … Read more

Something Different – Part II

As with my last post of this title, I’m still looking for ways to break the mould of mediocrity that is sports portraits. The same-old-same-old just won’t do any more. Of course, there’s always the problem of finding inspiration. Making sure you have the necessary equipment (although in most cases you really don’t need anything … Read more

For Me

I haven’t been here much of late. I’ve been around, I’ve just been busy. When you’re busy, it’s easy to let things like a blog slip by the wayside. I’ve also not done much personal photography these past couple of months. I just haven’t had the time, or the energy. And it’s not that I’m … Read more

Something Different

As a parent, and especially as a photographer, I’m tired of seeing the same team pictures year after year after year. Standard group shot. Standard player portrait in a standard player pose. Boring. It was time to shake things up a little bit. It was time to try something different.

There’s Also Luck

There are three things that are vital to good sports images: face, ball, and action. If you have all three, you normally have a good shot (that’s assuming you also have the other components of good photography down-pat, such as exposure, composition and so forth). You can sometimes get away with two, and there are … Read more

The Eleventh Hour

When my first blog was still active I always made a point of posting on Remembrance Day. I included the standard message of “Lest We Forget” but also included a photo or brief background on the military experiences of my grandfathers. Both of them served in the Second World War. Both of them willingly sacrificed … Read more

Moncton's Christian Gaudet (28) and St. Thomas' Chris Van Laren (71) battle for the puck in front of STU goalie Charlie Lavigne (31).

Fractions

Part One: Hockey is a fast game. It’s a game measured in fractions of an inch and fractions of a second. A fraction of a second too late, a fraction of an inch too far, and a scoring opportunity is lost. Your opponent gets his stick in the way, the goalie gets squared to the … Read more

The To-do List Just Got A Little Smaller

I’ve had a lot of little things on my to-do list these past few months. Most I have yet to start let alone complete. It always seems like something else gets in the way or takes priority. At times I wonder if I’ll ever get to some of the items. Will I have the time, … Read more

St. Thomas Tommies goalie Julia Sharun (81) stops Moncton forward Johannie Thibeault (19) during second period action. STU defenseman Amanda Burns (16) is also shown.

Goalies

(I originally posted this on my Google+ profile but thought I would post it here as well. I apologize to anyone who sees it twice. I’ve included two more images (combined photos from two separate posts and added a third). I think I might expand on this in the future and the blog, perhaps, is … Read more
