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”
Yellow Dazzling
The ground, seeded, transforms from dark, dirt black to green growth reaching its pinnacle of dazzling yellow before being harvested.

Sunday’s Valhalla
On a Sunday evening, two Sundays ago, we drove west from Grande Prairie. My daughter’s dance season had concluded. She journeyed homeward with friends. My wife and I remained. With time to ourselves, after our supper meal, we drove. At the junction where highway… Continue Reading “Sunday’s Valhalla”
La Glace – Bounty
Saturday’s bounty, a week ago, was found at sundown near La Glace – this homestead image; it followed six shots in which a moose and its calf trotted behind this homestead, a speedy blur of movement from left to right in my viewfinder, all… Continue Reading “La Glace – Bounty”
Rusting Relics – Narratives of Habit
In the past few days I’ve wondered if the attracting element to vehicle photography is the coherence of a vehicle’s design, functionality and comfort. Beyond this, is it the style and form of the vehicle that attracts the eye and the impulse to drive… Continue Reading “Rusting Relics – Narratives of Habit”
