Mr. Ed
By day, these trusty steeds take tourists thought Central Park, and my night along Times Square. This friendly guy enjoyed posing for me.

The Mother-In-Law Suite
This quaint little barn was converted into a Mother-In-Law Suite. Every Son-In-Law I spoke with said they need one. ;)

Not only did her guitar match her clothes, but she belted out the tunes with a lot of passion and character.

Performance Rehersal
Underground passage way, located beneath this old down-town theater, makes for a secluded place to limber up the fingers.

Belly Laugh!
These Officers are wearing unique shoulder badges, indicating different Police Divisions. There may have been some “jeering” going on as the other two were less than impressed as he let out a loud roar. Even his horse looked back and seemed to roll it’s eyes. :)

911 Ground Zero Piper (Philip Belpasso) is well known to the New York City masses. He remains a landmark-figure at the once World Trade Centre. A pleasure to meet him in Lower Manhatten.

Who’s Numba’ One?!
Photographers John G, Al Ros, and I had a fantastic photo shoot in NY. What a blast going on a dedicated photo-shoot venture with some of your ”bestest” buddies and having a hoot! :) I highly recommend it.

Hold Still For the Camera
Yard sale that I happened by while on a Inglewood Community photo walk. The people holding the yard sale seemed to really be enjoying the day and passessers-by. Comments welcome.

Ate Dirt: Calgary Stampede Style
What can you say… sometimes the Bull just comes out ahead. Cowboy took the beating that was dished out on him, but he brushed off his chaps, smacked his felt hat and put it all behind him. Sometimes, we all need to just do the same. Comments welcome.

Little Girl – Big Horse
I was not sure who was more hesitant.. the little girl or the large draft horse. He stared at her for a few moments then took the grass out of her hand.

Biker Wave
A large insurgence of Harley riders came to Calgary recently. This biker acknowledged me taking his photo, and I like to think he meant it in the nicest possible way. :)

Layers
It was a bit of a surreal feel looking across depth of field of this scene. During certain times of the year I do a fair amount of flying, but I find that there are considerably more landscape photo opportunities from the ground. Comments welcome.

Wristwatch Macro
This is a typical Tag Heuer wristwatch close-up. I find it interesting to examine the macro-photography details of engineering after such a shot. Comments welcome.

Freedom
Today is July 1st and Canada Day! In 1867 Canada became an independant Nation with continuous close ties to the Commonwealth. I thought a good word to sum up Canada Day is “Freedom”, and I think Chad R. on his Harley expresses that. Comments Welcome.

Broken Bulb
This was a fun little challenge for me. I enjoy tinkering and decided that I needed to make this happen. I do not enjoy shopping, but hung out in my Grocer’s refrigerator isle reckoning between a white egg in my left hand, and brown egg in my right. You know the rest of the story. :) Comments welcome.

Tender Moment
This is another cutey-shot from my baby series in Portraits / Still Life. Having this opportunity struck really deep inside me. We had nice warm sunlight illumination, for a natural light setting. Comments welcome.

Husky Tower
Sunny days just feel great to head out with no photo objectives in mind. Not sure what happened to this gentleman’s finger, but he seems well-on-the-mend and obliged the Calgary Tower as backdrop. Nikkor 10.5mm Fish-eye. Comments welcome.

Sometimes motoring along, we catch something out of the corner of our eye. I parked and happily hiked back over/under the trains and tracks to find this rail-car. Truly impressive spray paint art! Recognizing… (more…)

Little Swimmers
Using a bending-vise and blue-flame heat from a butane torch, I was able to achieve the ”swimmy” spoons. My intent was to create a subtle scene to be appealing rather than appalling. Comments welcome.

Not The Right Spots
This was a bit of a whimsical macro scene. The apple had a sticker of a ladybug with 6 spots, whereas my little buddy had only 2. I imagined this scene as a bit of a cartoon where the girl 2-spotted ladybug came to break up with… (more…)

Forgotten By Time
I have been driving by this mid 1950s Chevy for some time. It never seemed quite right. That is, until we had some serious hoar frost that night. Comments welcome!
