Always expect the unexpected when photographing young children. You never know what they’ll do or how they’ll react. Just be ready for anything…

Sports Faces
One thing about sports photography is you can’t control the poses or expressions of the athletes. You simply capture the action as best you can, trying to get the peak action whenever possible, and take the rest as it comes. This can make for some pretty funny, and sometimes pretty awkward, images. Some athletes look … Continue reading »
A Second Look
One of the myriad items on my to-do list is taking another look at some old shoots. Some I’ve never looked at, or have only given a fleeting glance. Some I started to process but never got around to finishing. And some I’d like to re-process. One of the shoots from the first category was … Continue reading »
danse DNA
Tomorrow, I’ll be photographing both shows for the danse DNA dance 2012 year-end recital. Tonight, I photographed the first rehearsal.
DancEast Gala
I told myself before I left the house that I would only photograph my daughter. Once I got there, of course, things changed. I just couldn’t help myself.
The Kids
It’s been four years since I tried to get a decent image of the two kids together. The last one turned out like this: I’ve thought about doing another one for some time now but never carried through on that plan/threat. I just never felt it was worth the hassle. Sure, I’d love to have … Continue reading »
Perspectives
I had an interesting conversation with another photographer the other night. We discussed the changes in technology since we had started in photography.

When the conversation turned to film, though, our opinions diverged … Continue reading »
Interlude
I haven’t shot lately. I haven’t really shot at all for the past couple of months. I’ve been busy with other stuff – sidetracked and sidelined. In some ways that’s a good thing. I haven’t felt inspired, or creative, or motivated. I haven’t felt anything. But Spring is here. It’s warming up, outside and in. … Continue reading »
You Have to Start Somewhere
I’m selling an old lens of mine. Actually, I’m pretty sure it is sold. It’s a Magnicon 70-210mm f/4-5.6. I believe they were originally made by Vivitar, and sold through Blacks Photo here in Canada. It’s not a high-quality lens. It’s an older (about 20 years old or so) third-party equivalent to Canon’s 80-200mm f/4-5.6. … Continue reading »
Found Files
A couple of years ago I started working on a self-assignment that I came to call “Aboard the Irish Lass.” I spent several days over a one year period with brothers Terry and Randy Sandell, co-owners of the lobster fishing vessels Irish Lass and Sagittarius. During my last trip with them I captured several video … Continue reading »
