B & W Photographs
Lamppost – City Park
Truth be told, I do not like winter as much as I used to. I am starting to understand why so many retired people flee Canada for sunnier climates during the winter. However it is a great time of year to take photos with the low sun, long shadows and strong contrast.
Margaret Falls
If you ever go camping at Herald Provincial Park near Salmon Arm, BC, make sure you make the short hike up to Margaret Falls. The hike itself is cool because it is through a rain forest microcosm in a narrow canyon in a region of the province that is quite dry. You get the the end of the canyon and there is this great falls that is quite hard to get a good picture of because of its size relative to how far back you can get. I could just barely fit the falls in my frame with my widest angle lens.
Elephant Carving
My wife has this little elephant carving that is only about 2 inches tall. Since I can’t afford the helicopter ride over the savanna to get a similar shot with real elephants I guess this one will have to do.
Listen
I call this one “Listen” obviously because ears are for listening but I also like to use it as a bit of a reminder to listen for the details in the world. I try to notice the small things that are just as amazing as the big things. It’s easy to stop listening because of all the noise and distraction.
Pampas Grass
My family and I used to live in Mukilteo, Washington. It is a beautiful small town next to Everett. This shot was taken from Mukilteo Drive with the sun setting behind the Olympic mountains to the west.
The Unravelling
Bad Baby! As much as this shot looks staged, I swear it wasn’t. I came around the corner to this very scene. I couldn’t have planned the lighting better had I tried. I just had time to grab my camera, take the picture and then it was over.
Mini on a Cobblestone Street
I am in the process of scanning some of my old photos from days gone by… Here is one of a mini on a cool cobblestone street. I can’t actually remember where I took this one.

Catamaran – Puerto Vallarta
When my wife and I went to Puerto Vallarta for our 15th wedding anniversary we got a great deal. The only catch was our return flight left at 2:00 am so we had a lot of time to kill between checking out of the hotel and catching our flight. It gave us time to watch a last sunset and I caught this shot during the sunset.
I like this one in both the muted beige tones and in black and white.
Little Door
This is a great shot of a young girl standing in front of a door that is “just her size”. I love the vacant stare that she has and the way that she is almost standing at attention.
This was taken at Fort Rodd Hill near Victoria, BC.
