*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Ryan & Chopper's Big Day Out

«« prev next »»

Ryan & Chopper's Day Out

A couple weekends ago, I grabbed the dog, Uncle Guy's old film camera and we hit the Contact Photo Festival exhibits up in the Junction. One photographer spotted the old Minolta slung over my shoulder and commented that she used to use the same one. I handed her the camera and told her to snap off a couple shots for old time's sake. She had me and Chopper sit in the front window of her studio and she went outside to take the shot. I like how it turned out.

Wind Storm

Wind Storm

Shot right before that big storm hit this weekend. That's actually a giant dust cloud coming in across the right side of the shot. It felt like a sand storm down here on the lakefront. Dry sand blowing around from all of the construction site. I was cleaning sand outta my ears for a day or two. -Ryan

Gord 2

On Friday night, we had 5th row seats to see The Tragically Hip at The Danforth Music Hall. I spotted The Hip's Head of Security standing near us and asked him if I could go up to the front of the stage and snap some pics. Thus, circumventing the event security. It was one of the better Hip shows we have been to in recent years. More shots here.

Tremblant

«« prev next »»

Well I have been meaning to post these one-a-day this week, but that didn't really happen. Soooo here is a handful of shots from our weekend in Tremblant. -Ryan

Tremblant Bottom of Hill

At the bottom of the hill.

Too Cool

Too cool for school.

Ry & Meli

Some couple.

Ry & Fi

Fiona and Ryan L.

Maple Syrup Taffy

Maple Syrup Taffy. We are such tourists.

Shuttle to Parking Lot

Aboard the shuttle bus back to the parking lot. This was on our last day. On the day we actually went skiing, we parked on the north side of the mountain with the rest of the locals away from the resort and tourists. I have never been with the locals. It was quite a party. The warm weather was perfect for a giant tailgate party where people could ski to their truck, fire up the bbq and crack open a beer.

Geralds Flaming Sambuca Scallops

Ryan L. handled a lot of the cooking. While he does cook a mean steak, Gerald (Fiona's Dad), steals the show with his Flaming Sambuca Scallops.

Geralds Wine Rack

Gerald is converting the cottage laundry room into a wine cellar. This is the start. Oh, and this is only half. The rest is on the bottom shelf
