Horse Portraits

Some different portraits. Sometimes horses are like 8 years olds, especially when you are trying to photography them. They don't stop moving. I was taking some photos of a friend's boys years ago. They were 5 and 7. Mom was in the studio trying as she might to get them calm and posed. I finally had to ask her to leave the room. There was no way those two boys were going to sit still with her in the studio. Truth be told, they weren't a hundred percent better but I did get some great shots. Almost like with the horses here. They are such curious beasts. One of the biggest challenges, often, is getting them to stay far enough away that I can get a decent photo. They come up and are all curious about the camera! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them.

Nicole and Spencer

A few weeks ago my wife and I travelled to California to attend my son's wedding. It was quite an event. He edits films in Hollywood and the speeches and songs and everything really, evidenced a quite creative crowd. I was not THE photographer but couldn't help having my camera along with me. I got a few decent shots of the reception. The day after, with some great locations along the California coast we got some really exceptional photos. Everyone involved was so creative. I was looking for some, well, not normal emotions. We all had fun.

Music at Canalside Restaurant

Most weekends you will find some easy, mellow music at The Canalside Restaurant in Port Colborne. The town sits on Lake Erie and the restaurant views [read more] the canal. Sit, have some dinner and a drink and watch the ships cruise through. We've seen Mark play a couple of times. Some nice guitar work. Kinda what I call country blues. A couple of photos of Mark.

Check out the menu on The Canalside website. We love their fish and chips. Sit outside in the summer (and sometimes late into the Fall if you are lucky and watch the big ships go by as this restaurant actually is right across the street from the Welland Canal where is enters (and exits) Lake Erie. See some interesting cargo. It took me a few minutes once to figure that one cargo was wind turbine blades. They are apparently 45 feet long and sometimes longer. There were several on this ship.
