I Downgraded My Cameras For Reasons That Don’t Make Sense (to Most)
I was a lifelong Nikon shooter until I sold all of my gear in 2022 and went all-in on Fuji. Now, I’ve backtracked a little and bought back some of that older, crappier gear. In this extensive deep dive, find out why.
Labour Day Weekend at the Cottage
For our third year running, we take our kids to the cottage for one final hurrah before the summer comes to a close and school starts back up. Lazy mornings, typewriters, plenty of beach time, and even a fireworks show.
Rainy Walk with the Kids, Typewriters, and Early Mornings in the Dog House
Still getting in my reps with the Nikon D600 as my primary camera body (with those beautiful, beautiful Sigma Art lenses): a collection of moments from a week or so in August.
A Baseball Weekend in Cincinnati
My in-laws were gracious to gift us with a weekend away in Cincinnati (without kids!) to take in a Cincinnati Reds game and tour the stadium and their hall of fame. Making an event of it, we explored a bit of the city and survived a crazy summer heat wave.
Cinematic Front Yard Photos of My Kids
I’ve always enjoyed how much cropping an image a particular way can impact the final result. Enjoying a warm afternoon in the sun on our front porch, I snapped a few photos before we finished off the evening with bbq burgers for dinner. Sometimes you remind yourself that your life can feel like a movie if you just look at it the right way.
Work Trip to Alberta
Life (and work) will take you to some beautiful places sometimes. I had the opportunity to travel to Canmore, Alberta for a few days with some coworkers for a Sales forecasting meeting. Never mind the spreadsheets and business talks, though: I’ll remember the mountains and the people I got to share that time with. Here are some favourite photos from the trip.
Multiple Trips to Las Vegas
Two trips to Vegas in a month = two times the amount of photos. Catch up on some of the sights from back to back trips I did in the Winter of ‘22
Toronto Street Photography at Night
I’ll pretty much take any opportunity to walk around Toronto to snap a few photos. After a work function, I spent 30 minutes strolling the streets with my camera. No particular map of anywhere I wanted to go: just eager to put my new Fuji XH2S camera to work.
Our Miami Beach / Cruise Photos
We went on a vacation without the kids! It was a ton of fun. Enjoy scrolling through our top photos from the trip.
Cincinnati Weekend and Dinner with Mia Sheridan
My wife never used to be a reader… then I bought her a Kindle. 1,000 novels later, and she has certainly read more books that I ever will. One of her favourite authors is Mia Sheridan, who was doing a book signing in her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. Only being about 5 hours away, we made the trek down and were kindly received by Mia and her husband for dinner the night before. Incredible couple, amazing author, wicked city. Can’t wait to go back!
Blue Jays Game & Roaming Around Toronto
Work was kind enough to give me 4 tickets to a Jays game, so me, Leanne, and my brother and sister in law made a day of a trip to the big city. Of course, in Toronto, there’s aways tons to photograph.
The Magic of Black & White Photography
I’ve fallen in love with black and white photography and I don’t know when I’ll ever come back. Read about the journey & why you should consider taking it.
Document Your Mundane Life
Photography wasn’t my first love, but it is my forever love. Learn why I think every person in the world should pick up a camera (or their cell phone) and intentionally document their life—the exciting and the mundane.
