Some shots from a weekend trip to Ottawa. The detail shots of the tools and puppets were taken at Ottawa’s Winterlude. The sky pic was on the road. All taken with my Fuji X100.

Frozen Lock
Taken during the deep freeze in late January. The safe was store in the back of a friend’s SUV. The humidity settled on it in a rather spectacular way.
1/25th at f/2.8 and ISO 1600.
Introducing the Blade Runner Project
The year 2012 was a slow year for my photography. I did little work that challenged me, and almost no studio work at all.
I want to change that in 2013. The longer I leave something stagnant, the harder it is to pick it back up again. Momentum is a precious commodity.
Over the last few years, I’ve learned a little bit about portrait lighting, and managed to create some interesting and pleasing images. But I want to improve my game, and to do that, I will learn by studying the work of a master. I’ve always loved cinematic lighting, and Ridley Scott’s movie Blade Runner has some of the most gorgeous, moody and expressive photography I’ve ever seen.
New Web Site Under Construction
I’m now in the process of re-evaluating my portfolio and rebuilding my personal web site. I also plan to tie my site into SmugMug for photo purchasing.
Exciting things to come!
