Storm rolled in right over my neighbourhood. I sat at the window watching it. My original intention was to try to catch lightning, not really practical with an Phone but I was willing to give it a shot. There was no forks to be had, but the clouds rolling in were spectacular. No, it didn’t [...]
Okay. Trying to catch up with my favourites. Never mind the 52 week assignments, I’m working on getting product shots down and even that hasn’t gotten a lot of attention. On to my pick. Just a refresher: my pick is the photo I want to say more about. I constrain myself to one word each [...]
First off, I’m dropping the ‘Mostly’ from these posts, there may have been two photos posted the day after, and a couple posted after midnight but there there is nothing “mostly” about this, I am all in, so a quick re-naming to ‘i365‘. No, it’s not original but it tells you the image you’re viewing [...]
This was a whacky week. I struggled to find the images and then it just became easier. I did fall back hard on the self-portraits. Twice. It’s so easy. Too easy. I realized that I need to push my boundaries here. It’s no challenge to publish pictures of me in the most flattering light; who [...]
There are times I am simply impressed by this little gadget’s ability to take a photo. We had crappy weather, and the sun finally decided to shine last week. The grass was still a mess from the National Capital Marathon weekend and there were a few dandelions around. I don’t particularly love dandelions but the fuzzy globes [...]
Sometime an emotion can fuel this creative process, but only sometimes; at other times it’s a hinderance, there’s no telling which way it will go. Titled: ‘Protect‘. This week, I broke the ‘rule’ of letting an image speak for itself until I choose an image as the favourite of the week. Usually, I have plenty [...]
Last time, it was booze from Sweden, this time it’s silver from my basement. For those who may not know, Chris, runs Silver Hand Studios and the workshop takes up the most of our basement. I help in the workshop, attempt to wrangle the paperwork, and function as the sounding board. I am also in charge of [...]
After a month’s hiatus, it’s time to get back to my assignments and what better way than participating in the photojam hosted by Justin (@justinvl) this past Saturday. A photojam is an casual event where photographers to come out, share gear and take pictures (and drink beer). Here’s the Ottawa Photojam Flickr Pool to check out images [...]
A lot of my shots are done confined in my own home, surrounded by walls. I know I am week at scenery, architecture, landscapes, you know, anything shot out *there*. I can’t force it but I am trying to find places where I think I see a photo. I work downtown and I try get [...]
Busy, just picking the favourite of the week before now. Spring took way to long to get here and the tulips were taking their time. I used the 5 second timer in Camera+ and held my iPhone in my hand in the grass. Simple as that. Gorgeous day: sunshine, tulips, and my favourite Ottawa building. [...]
