B&W

i thought i had posted this already. any ways, one more time.

lama

shot this today / drove by, thought it might be interesting / turned around, took the camera out, and spend some time with the lamas.

prairie sky/iron horse

pure prairie. i will post a black and white version / let me know your preference.

big iron

one more black and white of the oil patch. returning to color tom.

prairie sky

got out and drove the back roads today / camera ready. my mind was in black and white. must have shot over 250 images. this is one / should have a few more to show. stay tuned. cheers.

spring?

ok, we need the rain, but what's with the low temp? my friends from next door break out for a walk.

where is he??

last week i was charged with the task to pick up my mom at the bus stop. seemed that a few people thought i would forget. so this is a shot of my mom waiting for me / i sent it to my sister as a bit of a joke.

back to the new stuff

this is my take on a prairie slew with cat tails. enjoyed this shoot on my drive back from the golf course.

big break

i came across this today. it was my first real job - portrait of john neville, artistic director of the stratford festival. i was hired by saturday night magazine to shoot this at his home in southern ontario (i was living in toronto at the time). my good friend and ryerson mate ian crylser was my assistant. funny thing - this is the style of photography i was known for, and the type of work i wanted to shoot. how did i go from this to shooting landscapes and dropping in skies??

prairie photography

another take on my encounter with the ice shacks.

the "18"

i have driven by this "bus for sale" ( in the ditch off #48 at odessa), many times over the last few years. finally stopped the truck, dusted off the camera, and spent a half hr or so / taking pictures. more later.
