Things have been very busy for me lately and I haven't really gotten out for a lot of new shooting other than concert stuff. I am currently preparing to move to a new job, among other things. This photograph is one that I made about 8 years ago in Queensport, Nova Scotia. To me, it shows a slice of the maritimes and I really like it, hope you do too.

While on a shoot not far from Kingston, I came across this lone tree. Lone trees seem to interest lots of people and when it is right beside what looks like a small burial plot, it gets even more interesting, at least to me. The scene seems to have a dark, moody feel and I really like it. Thanks for taking a look, hope you like it.

Judi and I have owned a house on the east coast for almost 12 years and in that time, I have photographed there a lot. One of the things I am attracted to there is the maritime way of life, the things you immediately might think of as "Nova Scotia life". To me, I think of the fishing industry as a way of life there and I try to capture as much of that as I can. If I go there in the spring, you may hit lobster season and lobster are fished pretty close to shore, you can often see the fishermen (and women) hauling in pots right from shore. I've traveled all over the province but still, nothing is more enjoyable than seeing and photographing some of the things that make the Canadian maritimes unique.

I've recently posted a couple of panning abstracts that I kind of liked so I thought I'd post this as well. If you haven't already guessed it, this is rushing water in a river. Sometimes just isolating a small area makes for an interesting photograph.

On Thursday, October 13, I shot a concert that was kind of a milestone for me. I was asked by Sound Check Entertainment in Ottawa to shoot Meghan Patrick, Jon Pardi and Kip Moore here in Kingston. A lot of the concerts I've done up to now have been for me, just because I like to do it, but this time I was shooting for someone else and the pictures were to go out to the world.....and they did just that. I hope I can do more work for Sound Check in the future. The image below is not one that was submitted to Sound Check, but one that I love. It captured a great moment. I wasn't able to find out this guy's name but he was a true showman.
