Vietnamese Wedding
I was fortunate enough to capture this photo of a Vietnamese couple on their wedding day as I wandered around Ho Chi Minh City.
Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
Here are a few photos shot at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. Sadly, there are no birds in the photos, but you can see the historic home of Colonel James Walker in the background.
Relics of the Vietnam War
These relics of the Vietnam War can be found at Independence Palace in Ho Chi Minh City. Tank 843 and Tank 390 crashed the palace gates on April 30, 1975 and shortly thereafter, South Vietnam surrendered. The captured helicopter on the roof is an example of the Bell UH-1 ‘Huey’ made famous by its use […]
Calgary’s Finest On Patrol
I snapped these photos of the Calgary Police at two separate events. The first is from Lilac Festival while the last two are from Canada Day. Calgary is very proud of its western roots which can be seen in the cowboy hats the officers are wearing. (Many police departments use horses, so that isn’t specific […]
#LoveDowntownTauranga
I snapped this photo along the Strand in downtown Tauranga during a jazz festival. Many people were posing with the mural of the wings and while waiting to snap a photo of my wife, I managed to get this one of a stranger.
Film Stash
This is the film stash I took with me on my trip to France in 2015. Also pictured, are two of the three cameras I brought with me: my Canon Rebel 2000 and my Ultra Wide & Slim. I used the third camera, my Canonet QL17 Giii, to snap this photo.
Wandering Around Blenheim, NZ
Sarah and I wandered around Blenheim one Sunday afternoon. It was very quiet with almost no one around when I shot these photos.
Walking in Newmarket
I snapped this photo of an elderly couple walking in Newmarket (a suburb of Auckland) on FPP B&W 100 film, which is really just rebranded Orwo UN54.
Auckland
These photos of Auckland were taken in 2018 as Sarah and I walked through downtown and along the waterfront. The big green owl (Ruru Kakotea) is from The Big Hoot, a fundraiser for the Child Cancer Foundation. That year, many painted owls could be found all around Auckland.
On the Fence
I was taking photos around Sarah’s parents’ farm when she decided to walk on the fence (which overlooks a steep 50m (150ft) drop. I was grateful this photo turned out because I noticed my QL17 wasn’t giving me accurate meter readings in the fading evening light. I bracketed most of my shots, but I only […]
Geese on Ice
The Bow River often freezes over during winter. While it is not unusual to see geese on the ice, I wasn’t expecting to find an overturned shopping cart that looked like it had been thrown from the bridge.
Ho Chi Minh City
These photos are from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in Vietnam. While touring Vietnam, I had a day off to explore on my own and shoot some photographs. These photos feature the Independence Palace (aka Reunification Palace) and its front gate (where in 1975, a tank of the North Vietnamese Army bulldozed into it, […]
Royal Palace #2
Here are some more photos from the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. What I most remember about that day is that it was incredibly bright and I didn’t have a wide enough lens to capture everything I wanted in the frame.
Trio
On the west side of the new Calgary Public Library building are two of three kinetic sculptures that move back and forth like a drinking birds. This art installation is called Trio and was designed and built by artist Christian Moeller.
East Village
These photos are from a photowalk I took recently around the East Village. This part of downtown has undergone a lot of redevelopment over the last few years and I thought it was time to take a camera and go exploring.
Sliver
The name of this sculpture is Sliver. It was created by Virginia King and is a symbol of time. Sarah and I were walking in Newmarket (a suburb of Auckland) when we came upon the sculpture and I knew I had to photograph it.
Picton Harbour
These were shot in Picton harbour, on the north coast of New Zealand’s South Island, as Sarah and I waited to go on a cruise of Queen Charlotte Sound.
Wandering Around Auckland
These are from my second trip to New Zealand. Sarah and I spent a day wandering around Auckland’s waterfront. I remember we had some amazing ice cream at Island Gelato in the Ferry Building.
