misty morning

well, back shooting whitebear lake golf course this AM. this was a little mist rising just after the sun broke the horizon. not a golf shot, but shows the lay of the land.

a simple image/ i like it. looks better if one clicks to enlarge. let me know what you think?

portrait

(this is a re-post/the last images were too dark).

i'm still working on a 'portrait' series. today, i went down to the south west, camera and light in tow. everyone was busy with harvest, but i was able to hook up with kelly, and he took the time to let me experiment.

i really like the first attempt (one needs to click on to enlarge), but i also like the second one. comments?? thxs.

whitebear lake golf course

well, this was from this morning. no mist, so i went to this location, that i have been interested in shooting for a few years. i like it, but i think i can make it better.... so i'll keep returning. stay tuned.

pre dawn saturday

this is the morning catch. the putting green has a blanket of dew, although to some it may look like frost.

gettin' her ready

well, i must have a little pull at whitebear / the superintendent himself , came out early and got the green 'camera ready'. funny thing is, i like these 2 quick shots i did of larry p. better than the hero shot.

i'll be back for more in the next few days....

part of my day at the golf course

i was back at it this morn (early... i know that's a shock to all), shooting the sunrise at whitebear. here is one version, and another shot i did later in the day. comments welcomed. thxs.

that time of year

the weather in south east sask has been summer like, but the season is a changin'. this was from my golf course shoot this morning.

whitebear lake golf course photography

saskatchewan golf

i'm shooting some images for a local golf course / whitebear. this is what i saw today.....

prairie harvest

this is my take on the prairie harvest / going full bore........

north dakota

this shots looks a little like a previous post, but the location is quite different. this is one huge field of 'spits' i saw on a road trip to minot, north dakota (sun flowers as far as the eye could see).

saskatchewan golf

this course i photographed in west central sk. used to be call riverbreaks / i think its called sageview these days.

the ad years

ok, i did a road trip to yorkton today/had to buy a meat saw, ya all... (was listening to blue collar radio on sirius, hence the 'ya all').). stopped at the superstore for a few food items, and the lady ahead of me was buying loads of 'stouffer's lean cuisine'

i retro'd back to one of the most difficult ad shoots i've ever done. it was for a NY ad agency / the client was stouffer's lean cuisine.

so this is the shot. took about 5 weeks of scouting/casting/fighting tooth and nail, but we got the shot. we rented the entire cafe for about 5 grand, had 50 or so extras, and a water truck or two (for the wet sidewalk look). can't say i miss those battles.....

otter lake, sk.

northern saskatchewan

proof that i use to use film...... (and get up at 4:00 am).

prarie sunflower

i shot this at the golf course this aft / for all you who thought i was taking a few too many flower images last winter..... run for your lifes@! seems my eye is getting a little floral....

one more kick at the can

this was another version / showed a few folks after the fact, and they approved. so i'm milkin' this photo session for blog content. comments??

south east saskatchewan

a few friends from the west coast came to saskatchewan for a visit. i thought i would take them out in the flatlands to meet my artist friend, scott. of course, i wanted to take their portrait, so here are 2 versions. feel free to vote if you have a favorite.....

gastown, vancouver bc.

looks like i'll be back in vancouver for the winter, so it got me thinking about this shot i did in gastown for a toronto ad agency back in the day.

northern saskatchwan

well, i didn't make it up north this year, but here is how i saw it awhile back.
