Home Sweet Home on the Web
When I first opened our doors for business four years ago, I didn’t quite realize how important a role the internet would play. The web is constantly changing and evolving. That’s both a good and bad thing. Change can be good. It can also be a pain in the butt because it means a steady [...]

I have many to thank.
During a couple of photography consultations this past week, I was asked why I’m a photographer. This isn’t a question I’m often asked, and I was pleasantly surprised. Usually my clients and prospective clients don’t inquire about my motivation as part of the reason they should commission me. I do it for the love of [...]
We’ll be closed next week.

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 [...]

Welcome to the revamped blogsite. I’m super-excited about it! The blog is being integrated with the Image Archive, Commercial, and Client Access website into one seamless experience.

It’s Official: I’ve been Twitterized
For the last few weeks or so, I’ve been playing around with Twitter. Sometimes there will be things I’d like to bring you up to date on, but it’s not really something that I want to put in a blog post. So what I’ve done is added Twitter Updates to the sidebar in my blog. [...]
