Time Flies
So they say and it is true. I am finding myself at the computer so many hours of every day yet I don’t seem to find the time to write much for my blog. I’ll have to do better again. On the up-side, being so very busy, and even busier in the weeks leading up […]
MorePart of Our World
This post is totally unrelated to photography, but totally related to az pictured’s daily fairings during school holidays, which just finished for us. You see, my young one is a great singer. Choir boy, soloist, rock-star in the shower. And he has this tendency to burst into song ….. constantly and always and everywhere. Sometimes […]
More‘I could never resist the call of the trail’
So Buffalo Bill said. I can’t resist it either. Well, not quite the same trail, but a trail it is nonetheless. For me, it’s the light trail. Chasing it with my camera has been something I wanted to do for ages. Since I finally have acquired a remote shutter release, this last Winter nothing stood […]
MoreLots of Love
Lots of love in this engagement shoot. Very gorgeous couple, and very eager to try to achieve this photo collage. I had suggested it and they had a much better plan than I did because with very little thinking time and no practice they jumped right into it and I just had to keep up […]

For portrait outdoor sessions I have my few favourite spots around town. Depending on what the clients wish for we can meet in the park, the beach, at the lake, each place […]

Ever since the last big changes in 2014 especially small business feel the effects in a negative way, as no matter how much time and effort we put into posts and maintenance of our sites we tend to gain little reach and even less exposure. But, as with […]
MoreThe Environmental Portrait
If you are like most people you probably were thinking this post is going to be about photography in connection with some environmental issues, sustainability, global worming or the like. Not so. The environmental portrait is a cousin of the studio portrait. Photographers can take pictures of a person in a studio setting or in […]
MoreInstagram is FUN
In December 2014, Instagram hit a major milestone, when they could boast a whopping 300 million users, and thus passed Twitter. Instagram is a mobile photo-sharing social network, and it is in essence simple to use: take a photo, add a filter, write a short text or just hashtag, and post. Too easy. And that’s […]
MoreAbout Christmas
“The approach of Christmas brings harassment and dread to many excellent people,” writes Mark Twain in ‘Following the Equator’, “They have to buy a cart-load of presents, and they never know what to buy to hit the various tastes; they put in three weeks of hard and anxious work, and when Christmas morning comes they […]
