*....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!

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.....

...and here is a shot of the "Handicap-able" Photographer at work.

This Melissa is Out of Order

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.

I have no idea what the -k- stands for.
From the archives. Slow week for photography and posting. Sick as a dog all week AND started a new show at work. So life has been kinda chaotic.

The Corps

Jeff and Pam had their wedding reception at The Canadian Corps last night. It was a great party. I loved this hall. It was taking a little slice of small town living and dropping it right in the heart of downtown toronto. Now onto sorting through 400+ pics

This has been the busiest slow week we have ever had. Even with the recent aquisition of a new used lens, we haven't had time to really try it out. This is from the first walkabout.

Full Moon Over A Corn Field.

Full Moon Fever

-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
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 »»

Canada Geese

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."
-Gord Downie, from Coke Machine Glow
