Today we went downtown with Chopper to attend "WoofStock", a street festival for dogs. Normally we aren't into this yuppy, hippy-dippy kinda stuff, but we are trying to socialise Chopper and get him used to other dogs. Pictured here is Vegas sporting some real fly sunglasses.

Well, with the wedding and honeymoon disappearing in our rearview mirror, we've run out of things to talk about. Sooooo why not start a new project? We haven't been shooting or posting much lately. Installing hardwood flooring in an 80 year old house is not quite a 1-weekend project. In this shot we are right down to the original floor boards. That's Ryan's dad in the shot. Big thanks to Ma & Pa for all their help.

Well this is pretty much all Melissa has seen for the past couple of days. At least she is finding things to do to pass the time, like take pictures.....

This Melissa is Out of Order

I brought Melissa back from the Hospital Saturday morning. It was an excruciatingly painful ride for her. With every pothole, bump or stop in the road I learned a new word.

TTC Poles

Next time you are walking down the street in Toronto, take a littlelook up. You will see some relics from days of old. These poles used to feed electricity to the buses and streetcars. Although unused, hundreds ofthem still line the streets.

At The Corps

Full Moon Over A Corn Field.

«« prev | next »»



-shot by Ron
Dad snapped a great shot of the full moon over the countryside. I was quite inspired by the treatment he had given it in Picture It. I decided to replicate it, but in Photoshop so I could post it here.
...-p.s. I tried to get a shot of the lunar eclipse tonight but my crap-ass 55mm kit lens just couldn't quite make it. If you know of anybody that is getting rid of one of the el cheapo 70-300mm lenses....do drop me a line. thanx.

Exit to Nowhere

Exit to Nowhere performing at the Opera House a few weeks ago. Weather , a cold, and choosing a new hardwood floor has sort of kept us from doing any shooting. Hope to get back at it soon.

Canada Geese

«« prev | next »»



Geese on a soccer field in Whitby, just off of the 401.
And Neil did refer to a great poem. Just change corn field to soccer field:

"Us Canada geese held a meeting
in the middle of a corn field.
It's agreed; we leave in small vees
and meet up again in the real world.
Like middle-aged men smoke dope
and talk just to their cars.
We can talk just to ourselves
or we can talk just to the stars."

Ya ever wonder why we go a while without any new posts? It's probably because we're busy doing shit like this. This weekend we overhauled the computer room and finally put together our new desk, which is a shower gift from last summer.
