Framed to Edit
Three weeks back, in the midst of mileage and a COVID pivot, on a road west in Southern Alberta I was able to stop, get out of my truck, frame this image and two others, return to my truck and motor on. Many elements… Continue Reading “Framed to Edit”
Foothills Pivot
A COVID pivot provides minimalist moments among the modulation and ramble of foothills roads in southernmost Alberta. Quote to Consider / Inspire – “Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our… Continue Reading “Foothills Pivot”
January Homestead
Liking this bit of winter morning light, directional light, side-light – intensity and shadows – falling on snow and an Alberta homestead, a first image in a long while. Quote to Consider / Inspire – “… I believe that the real challenge of photography… Continue Reading “January Homestead”
Snowy, Colder Perambulations
We got out of the house, my daughter, my wife and I to investigate the snowy, colder (-20C+) world surrounding our community of High Level, Alberta. I gave my daughter and wife, each, a camera to use, and, off we went. For me, having… Continue Reading “Snowy, Colder Perambulations”
Frost Point Clusters
At home this Christmas with my daughter and wife – no miles travelled north to south and back; family safe and physically distanced, family by Zoom call – safe and blessed. Good. Through Saturday (our Boxing Day, 2020), each time my wife and I… Continue Reading “Frost Point Clusters”

Light & Time
Early morning, out on High Level’s trails cycling in August – a rich time of mist, colour, light and shadow. Quote to Consider / Inspire – ‘Photographs are just light and time (John Green, Turtles All the Way Down).’ Listening to – ‘Turn, Turn,… Continue Reading “Light & Time”
Moment & Photograph
I am liking a song put out by the New Customs. It’s about photography, it’s about memory and it’s about being in the moment that pulls you to a photograph and what that moment pulls from you. The song is called ‘Chasing Light.’ Liking… Continue Reading “Moment & Photograph”
Twin Butte – Turn-off
Near noon, nearing the turn-off toward Twin Butte and St. Henry’s Church – February, 2020; a good day. Quote to Consider / Inspire – ‘To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart (Henri… Continue Reading “Twin Butte – Turn-off”
