In a New York Minute

A whirlwind trip into NYC to see Ryan Star. I'm a groupie and I love it.

Finally hearing his stories.....

Grandad is out in front on the propeller. He was a Flight Engineer in the Royal Air Force on a Sunderland, tracking German U-Boats. He is sharing his pictures and stories with me lately.

Costa Rican Wedding

Can you guess who this minor sports celebrity is? Photographing the Szoke Wedding in Costa Rica was a thrill. I really hate shooting weddings, but there was no pressure as have the party were amateur/pro photographers LOL.

Wolfs Abound

The wolf at work. Not a great picture - from my blackberry, but a wolf nonetheless. I was waiting for him to huff and puff and blow the house down. LOL

Cuba

I need to get back on the horse with my blog. I spent two fabulous weeks in Cuba and for the next while I will post some of my favourite shots.

This picture is in Havana. These girls were walking home from school and were running past the water. I got lucky with the colours, the building, the girls clothing, it was a perfect moment to steal. The smallest of the girls has this wonderful innocent smile, it melts my heart.

Snowshoeing

The snow is still here, and while I love to snowshoe down the hydroline beside my house, it would be nice to see some green soon!

Asleep at the Shore

My fascination with dead in a ditch is over now that I took this picture. Brave girl for complying with me on a cold November day at the water's edge.

Bushy Buick

1956 Buick Special, in the middle of the woods in Muskoka....not sure how it got there, someone must have driven it on the snowmobile trail and dumped it here, in it's final resting spot.

Archives

Fun with my crappy Fisheye and Dave Young's band from early 90's. These boys were a fun bunch, I wonder where they are now. LOL.

Will this year be colourful?!?!?!

This is Fall 2006. With the lack of precipitation here in Muskoka this year I have my doubts that the colour will be this vibrant, so I am posting this to fill the gap!

Takin' a Step back to Hammertown

Some seedy bar in Steeltown, the band was Junkhouse, it had to be early 90's. Makes me want to pull out the Nikon FE and load it with high speed film and head to The Kee.

Baby Belly

I know the model isn't a fan of this shot, but I love the contrast and the 'veins' in the breast make me think they are ready to do their job and the baby needs to hurry up and come out!!

A Taste of Fall

With September right around the corner, here is a taste of last year's colour in Muskoka.

The Dive

Scarlett takes a dive. This was just this past Saturday at the Family Reunion. She had no idea I was taking her picture.

Billy Bob Big Bro

The Big Bro, looking angry. Probably isn't angry, the bastard just doesn't smile for cameras. Taken in 2006 in his backyard.

Cow's Eye View

Confederation Bridge as see from PEI. These lovely ladies greeted me as I snapped a few shots of the bridge.

Duelling Bellies

Pregnant Bellies, the belly on the left is no more, a beautiful baby named Maeve is now here. I'm waiting patiently on the news about the baby on the right....any day now.

The Dogs of Dumpmere

Bostrom & Digby, in their favourite spot, waiting to go to work with Rob. Bostrom has this thing where he needs to be against the seat, Digby gets the shaft no matter what the situation. HE's a good soul.

This was taken with the Nikon D70s, probably the first week I owned it.
