Old Schoolhouse


An old schoolhouse in Glenora Falls. I isolated the building to B&W to signify the passage of time.

Time For A Cat Nap

Using the macro setting on my wife's Canon PowerShot A550 I snapped this shot of our pet cat "Tiger" as he was entering alpha-state before drifting off to cat dreamland. I wanted a soft feel to the photo so I disabled the flash and opted for the natural light coming through the window. I adjusted the curves, and color balance and added a greyscale sketch filter as well. I really like pencil sketches so I am really attracted to photos with this treatment that give an artistic but hopefully not overdone post-processed look.

Bazoki

My brother modified a six string guitar into a Greek instrument called a Bazoki. It sounds great... if only I could learn to play it like him...

Winter Sunset


Canon S3 IS Camera


Cape Breton Fiddling


Taken in 1995 of my father at his home in Inverness. Scanned photo that was taken with the Canon T-70 35mm camera.

Golden Sunset

Shooting this sunset through the tall grass seemed to give the ocean and sun an intersting perspective, the same as if you were there watching it.
