I’m having a baby!

Hello Saskatoon! So, I’m sure some of you noticed that I disappeared for some months following Saskatoon Blitz. I assure you all I have a very good reason — I have been busy these past months working on my greatest work of art — A little bundle of joy expected to arrive February 4th, 2014.

Photographers: If you are looking for a great way to announce your baby, I highly recommend having family hold a sign for a “family tree” project and then holding up the ultrasound. You can give the kid the images of them holding the sign later on, and the resulting images of them cheering are always very touching to have.

Photographers Log – Week 20

Hello Saskatoon! At last, winter is truly gone and behold! The garden is planted. This was taken a day or two after we planted our strawberries. It is so wonderful to have growing things in the yard this year.

With only a few weeks left until Saskatoon Blitz I may be moving the date for these regular updates around a little until things settle down.

More interesting photography to share this week. I’m not sure what kind of retro bug got into my head when I did my self portrait this week but it is certainly unique from all the others thus far.

Photographers Log Week 18

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”672″]

Hello Saskatoon!

I had a great time last week at the Geek Summit in Regina. We met many lovely people, all of whom I hope to see again in June at Saskatoon Blitz.

My costume for the event was Melisandre from Game of Thrones.

Version 2.0 of that costume will be seen next week in my photos from Free Comic Book Day.

Also included in my images this week is an in progress shot of our garden project this year. (Thank you again to my best friend for bringing the extra power tools and helping with construction. You can see her in the progress shot below.)

Sadly there are no photos of the look of maniacal glee I had while drilling drainage holes in our garden barrels, but images of the finished product will be coming next week.

Photographers Log – Week 16

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”664″]

Greetings, Saskatoon! Points to anyone who caught the less than subtle reference in my self portrait this week.

I’m about 90% certain the black bird I photographed this week was a crow, not a raven. That said, I’m a photographer not an orthnilogist.

While “Nevermore” would also have looked cool there, but it wouldn’t have worked with the themesong currently stuck in my head.

To see more pretty pictures, including a word from our studio mascot, click the thumbnails below.

Photographers Log – Week 15

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”656″]

Hello Saskatoon! Amongst the chaos last week I managed to perform in a concert with the Saskatoon Choral Society, attend a rockin’ meeting for Saskatoon Blitz, and complete not one but two rush orders of retouching, as well as making some much needed technical improvements to the blog.

As a photographer, I like to think my job is all about actual photography. In reality, a photographer’s job can include all kinds of things such as cleaning baby poo out of backdrops (Shit happens. Hardy har har. Boo.. Bad joke.) or even nastier things like database optimization and back-ups.

Please click on the thumbnails below to see the rest of my results from last week. Today’s regularly scheduled instalment should be coming soon. (Knock on wood.)
