An Army of Brides: Giving Cancer the Boot in Downtown Toronto… a behind the scenes peek.
Above: “The Brides’ Ballet”. After the shoot for The Canadian Cancer Society the brides dance a lovely ballet among the water fountains of Yonge & Dundas Square, Toronto Canada. I was shooting again for the Canadian Cancer Society last Friday, along with the lovely ladies of The Brides’ Project. In the heart of downtown Toronto! [...]
Behind the Scenes: TV celeb, renowned dog trainer and author, Brad Pattison
Yesterday’s shoot with Brad Pattison and the awesome team at The Canadian Cancer Society was a hoot, so I thought you might enjoy a “behind the scenes” peek of this media event and book launch. If you haven’t heard of Brad Pattison, you may want to check out his TV Series airing on Canada’s Slice [...]
“Local” – a magazine for the Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods of Toronto
Sitting down with a good cup of java while pouring through magazines is one of life’s simple pleasures. Local Magazine is available in the Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods of Toronto. Editor Sarah Dann is the brains behind it, and I think it’s great. I contributed one of my Winter Series Beaches neighbourhood images to the [...]

Vegging Out on The Big Island, Hawaii

You may feel the same way once you take a closer look at the following sample of images. For those that follow this blog regularly, you’ve already seen a larger selection [...]

Toronto Cityscape at Dusk
Downtown Toronto is starting to look a lot like Times Square in New York, especially at Yonge and Dundas, next to the Eaton Centre. This image of the Toronto skyline, captured just before dusk, with the CN Tower in the background, shows just how busy our downtown core is. Wouldn’t this photograph look great in [...]
New! Winter Series in the Image Archive
Super-excited am I. Yes, I am. Winter is coming. As much as I grumble about terrible driving conditions, blustery winds, sleet and ice during our Toronto (Canada) winters, I find the coldest season of the year very beautiful. Especially in The Beaches neighbourhood, where yours truly currently resides. For the urbanites out there, there is [...]
Autumn in the Image Archive
Autumn will soon be officially over. Many trees are now bare with their multi-coloured, fallen leaves nestled in the grass below. I enjoy this image which I captured just a few weeks ago. Something about the old-school red and yellow fire hydrant amidst a blanket of yellow leaves does it for me. If you like [...]

Image Archive: Stock Images now Available
With quality stock images now available from a variety of online outlets, many photographers find it makes better sense to self-distribute their Stock Photography Images available for business and personal use. Large organizations such as Getty charge pretty high fees to image buyers, and take large commissions on image sales. Unless the photographer’s images are [...]
Canadian Cancer Society: Relay for Life – Scarborough
It was impressed upon me early on during this weekend’s Relay for Life the difference in personality, compared to last weekend’s event. Toronto’s multiculturalism really shone through. It’s poignant to witness people of diverse backgrounds working as a team – in one location – all night long, full of hope. It’s an evening where the [...]

Thank you to Daniel, René and Chris for a fun corporate shoot yesterday. After we wrapped, we continued shooting. As you can see from this capture, it was serious business!

Cancer Connections had its national launch May 20, 2008 in Toronto, Ontario where it showed for three weeks. The show then exhibited in Charlottetown, Prince [...]
Is it time for your Portrait?
I enjoy creating portraits of people, whether it’s a family portrait, executive portrait, actor headshot. Portraits can be done on location or in studio, formal or candid.
PhotoSensitive National Exhibitor
Yesterday I had a lovely conversation with PhotoSensitive, who called to let me know that they had selected some of my work to be showcased in their Canada-wide Cancer Connections Exhibit. PhotoSensitive will be turning 20 next year. It was formed to show “how the power of the photograph can bring about social justice in [...]
Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life
Last summer I photographed the Relay for Life, an awareness and fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society. The Relay for Life events raised about $600,000. While I covered the event, I also did a midnight shoot using long exposures and candlelight. Lately I’ve had a few conversations with people interested to learn more. I [...]
