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”
Moose, Moleskin & Bison
Are you someone who does this? Do you keep an idea file for photographs you’d like to try? I’ve found myself doing this at times when travel cannot afford the time to stop and snap a few photos. At other times, I will realize… Continue Reading “Moose, Moleskin & Bison”
Reflection – Rain-soaked and Waxless
Of the renderings considered, this image of the one ton grain truck (or perhaps utility truck) from the fifties intrigues by way of its waxless reflection brought out by its being rain soaked. The image’s colours are late summer’s end-of-day colours. Night isn’t too… Continue Reading “Reflection – Rain-soaked and Waxless”

Keeping Moments From Running Away
One use for photography is as a means to revisit the past, to investigate the reality of former times and to hold up to scrutiny the mind’s eye view of significant events held in memory against the reality that photography reveals. Former times often… Continue Reading “Keeping Moments From Running Away”
Wilson Prairie Wildfire – Day 3
Day 3 of the Wilson Prairie Wildfire – Friday, July 6th, 2012. In contrast to Thursday evening in which residents were able to move freely into the fire area, Friday saw Alberta’s Ministry of Sustainable Resource Development (SRD) controlling road access so that firefighting… Continue Reading “Wilson Prairie Wildfire – Day 3”
ATTO – All That Time Off
Our school year is complete. Mandated and extracurricular tasks and obligations have been seen through to good conclusion. I continue to be amazed at all the work all teachers engage in in moving students onward in their academic learning as these same students move… Continue Reading “ATTO – All That Time Off”
Threshold’s Threshing & Winnowing
Forest grows dangerously dry with summer heat. The matter of our region being a tinderbox is an expression used to describe this state in which forest can become prey to lightning strike and neglect by people working with fire. In this setting, rain becomes… Continue Reading “Threshold’s Threshing & Winnowing”
