The short cottage trip!

So this year we all had to turn around after two nights of cottage life...cart all the food, belongings and excitement into 2 two damn mini vans...how depressing.  My Wife's poor grandmother was pretty sick at the hospital and things got tense.  But I ended up walking away with some great snap shots this year...I only regret leaving my camera behind when we made a trip to African Lion Safari, as we were still able to make some local excursions..

Going back into the past!

Jackson couldn't walk yet...but the colours shined from his eyes and all around him!  I love this photo.  These were the 'Baby Einstein' days!

Jenna is all smiles and tongue!

 A friend at the bank had mentioned that her sister would love it if I took some photo's of her daughter and contribute some photo's to my portfolio, so I took the opportunity and started working on my children's photography, outside of all the other types of photography I was exploring.

I used Fuji 120 film, a Hasselblad 501cm, tripod and a sekonic light meter to measure the ambient lighting periodically.  You may notice that the frame isn't perfectly square(attributed by Hasselblad), as I played around witht the crop tool in Photoshop.  I also want to note that this particular film negative obviously was drum scanned and imported as a digital image, something I still do with all my old negatives!

T.O. on hold for now...

This is my first year to skip the Toronto International Film Festival...in fact not much paparazzi assignments on my plate this year!  I'm focusing on family life and the more passionate side of my photography...found this shot when we went to Casa Loma.  I still love Toronto and I will miss all the excitement.

I added a little logo art, as you can see...just flirting with ideas at the moment...it's more of a watermark...so forget that I said logo!

A baby kangaroo!

Special thanks to my Wife's friend,for taking this photo of a Joey on her trip to Australia.

Opening the vault...

These are some sample-photos, from my stock photography vault that I will be launching hopefully next year.  Many of the photo's were taken when I was studying photography at Ryerson.  I was much more passionate then and now I can start sharing the creativity!

August was a write-off

Well we had a family emergency to respond to while away at a cottage...I got food-poisoning...missed my niece's first year birthday..picking up all the lost pieces and working with the Miller Group...and the creation of JoeyImages.com.  So my new project is slowly being innovated.
