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.

I'm not a summer person at all. I don't care for the hot, sticky weather where people spend a lot of their time trying to cool off, or maybe hide from the heat in some air conditioned space. That, to me isn't any fun. I love spring and fall because at those times of year, it just seems so much more pleasant. In the fall, we have nice temperatures, abundant colour and the fall harvest at the market to boot. Happy Thanksgiving.

This summer for the month of August, I had photographs in a group art show hosted by Taylor Studios in Kingston. The show was called "Exposure" and featured the work of six artists altogether. This was my first time public showing for me and was a tiny bit out of my comfort zone, but it was still a quite positive experience for me. I will look forward to doing it again in the future. The photograph below is a classic Kingston scene that anyone from town will recognize. To all who stopped by the show to take a look, I thank you.
