I’ve recently taken to podcasts – at first I thought they’d be lame radio programs, but as it turns out you can get Video based Tee-Vee podcosts! My current favourites, as Mel would call it, are “Geek TV” one’s, X-play, Attack of the Show, and a few Photoshop workflows.
Sorry about the lack of posts around here lately – I’ve taken a cue from Thinsite and refrained from posting when I didn’t have the shots/time. To motivate myself, plus get ready for some upcoming projects, I purchased the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L and an off-camera shoe-cord for my flash. The latter will take some […]
This is Dale. One of two Medical photographers at the hospital – I drop by their office sometimes to pretend I know stuff about photography too. I processed this image using the stained template courtesy of Lincoln at ides of may. If you haven’t subscribed to his site, you likely should, he’s one of the […]
I had a bit of a terrible week at work – granted, from what I gather, pretty much everyone else did as well. If it wasn’t for people like Candace and Raissa (despite having their own tough times), keeping me sane, I probably wouldn’t have gotten out of bed.
Just messing around with shots from last June and Iceland, didn’t really have the power of CS3’s photo-stitch feature then so didn’t think about any pano’s at the time – still need to take something proper in naught-eight
An archive dive from my June trip to Iceland – playing around with LAB colour per Chromasia’s tutorial. What you’re seeing here is close to the top of the mountain I climbed (you can see the broken rock fragments I had to scramble up with my crumpler bag in tow) looking out over a secondary […]
There has been a distinct lack of cold and snow this winter – at least in Toronto. Although, apparently, we have broken some standards in regards to the most days without any sunshine. YAY – there’s something to brag about. No wonder everyone’s sick and/or depressed.
My bus route is hit and miss – if I catch the right bus at the right time – I’m at work within the hour. But if I miss it, and wait (or sleep in as the case often is) I’m looking at a two hour journey across the city. It’s daunting really, because that’s […]
Musttake more photos.
In the past, I didn’t get ass. That’s not just a figure of speech. Not only was I a late bloomer, I just didn’t get the appeal of butt cleavage – boobs are just find and as far as I knew; more accessible. But now I have a lady with a truly (I can’t express […]
Winter is tha DREGS. Not only is winter in the city uninspiring for any photos I might chance to take, but it’s prohibitive as well. I go to work it’s dark.I leave work it’s dark. That means I have to either take photos from my desk, or bring the tripod out and shoot poles on […]
…of String! … I got nothin’.
The Prince Edward Viaduct used to be the second largest suicide structure in the world (just behind the Golden Gate Bridge). To stem the ease of jumping (and thus any chance of photography over the bridge) the city installed these 5 meter high wires which, imho, are effective, since suicide is the lazy way out […]
Yesterday: me: there are suprisingly few well written blogs Brad: I’m not surprised by that — most people just go “here’s my crappy photo!” me: that’s entirely what I do, tomorrow’s in particular…
It’s all very exciting.
I wonder if Asians looking at food at a Western super market are as confused as I am looking at their various fish and noodle bowls. Speaking of… I must go grocery shopping again – I seem to eat more when I’m home.
Happy New Year!
It’s hard to go home after a week with your partner – not a lot of people have to do this – many relationships evolve in constant close contact. But when you have to leave more than you get to stay, it become harder as your relationship becomes more solidified, as you and your partner […]
I’m back from Christmas in O-town. It was a fantastic trip – stressful with all the happenings and new meetings of new family – but great none-the-less. Mel was completely cool with me throughout and checked in with me to make sure I was doing well [READ: not getting interrogated (tortured) by her relatives] and […]
Got to see some of the peeps before heading off to Ottawa for a week – thanks for the good times ladies; may our exploits live on forever. Doubt I’ll be posting much over the next week – I could try – but I really probably will not. Peace and Love!
Man, I can’t be bothered today – I carried my camera everywhere, and I didn’t shoot a damn thing – I was too focused on my tasks. I need a day of wandering. Come the weekend, Ottawa may have some of that in store for me. This shot is actually the opposite side of the […]
My obligatory Nathan Phillips Square shot – every Toronto blogger’s gotta have at least one.
I just got back from watching I Am Legend and I’m admittedly a little freaked out – vampire zombies things that have taken over the planet are a bit much when you’re home alone.Even this dog isn’t safe – he could be affected by contact with the virus – I’m all stressed out now – […]
The house itself was kinda “sketch” but this doorway – I don’t know where it lead – it was dark and smelly, so maybe to my bed room… Or my pants!
