Old School Hollywood Charm

Recently we had a blast working our magic on an old-school hollywood style shoot.  It was really nice to focus on some black & white images for a change.  It’s such a beautiful medium and I often miss working with it.  This young lady is was the star of our shoot and did a fantastic job.  Enjoy!

Today, We Remember

Last night, I listened as my daughter spoke to her Great-Grandpa on the phone.  She called to share with him the mark she received on a school project.  The assignment included information about her Great-Grandfather’s time as a soldier during WWII.  At one point she paused and said, “Tomorrow is Remembrance Day Grandpa; I want you to know that I remember”.

Our freedom was not free.  Today, I remember.  Thank you Grandpa.

A Tiny Box of Softness

Just received a new light modifier this week and popped off a few very quick test shots.  It’s a small 10″ x 36″ strip-light.  So far I’m impressed.  I also added a grid to the order and with that in place it works wonderfully as a hair-light.

Here’s a peek at an image created with just the new light.

Urban Ladies

This is just a quick post.  Here’s a few shots from an urban shoot that I did earlier this fall with five lovely urban ladies.  I had a blast working with this group.  I think they all look stunning, but I may be just a little biassed.  Please have a look and tell me what you think in the comments.

Lest We Forget

Today I took pause.  I stopped what I was doing to reflect on that which has not directly touched my life, and yet has profoundly affected it.  I thought of the terrible loss of life and I prayed for peace.  Peace, not only for me or for this great nation of Canada but for people everywhere of every tribe and tongue.

I am privileged to know a few of those who have severed, suffered and returned home from WWII to the freedom that many gave their lives for.  Today I say thank you!  I know full well that my thanks could never be enough so I pledge to remember and to pass on that remembrance to those who follow after me; Lest We Forget.
