Buy Japanese Prints, Profits To The Red Cross
Earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear disaster are the news out of Japan these days. As we watch the plight of the Japanese people in quiet desperation, I wanted to highlight the beauty of this inscrutable country by displaying some new images that I took years ago. I will be making a donation to the Japanese Red [...]
Japan’s Tragedy
It is sad to witness, albeit remotely, the pain and loss due to the tragic events in Japan. My heart goes out to the survivors who have to grapple with shattered lives and total uncertainty. I have actually held off blogging for several days because it seemed odd to be talking about relatively trivial matters [...]
International Women’s Day
In celebration of International Women’s Day, I put together a photo gallery of fully expressed women at the top of their form. Over the years, I have had the great fortune to meet and photograph many extraordinary women passionately pursuing their dreams. What fun it’s been. To see a sample of some of these images, [...]
Bali Temple at Night
I thought it was time to show you some of the warmer images in my collection. Lately I have been showing you a lot of snow images (it’s hard not to when we have one of the deepest snow-packs in the world on Mount Washington — and it’s still snowing). But let’s think warm for [...]
Snow Tip – Overexposure
Strange but true… when you take a picture in a world of white, you need to overexpose the image. This image was overexposed by one stop to get a better white. If you don’t over expose, the snow will turn out grey. This is because the metering system of the camera interprets the all-white landscape [...]

The Snow is Falling…
And that means lots of powder is accumulating up top. Time for some more powder photography tomorrow. Check out some of the fun in the latest Feature Gallery
New Site Is Launched… And The Response Has Been Amazing
Thanks for taking the time to check out the site. Oh, and tell a friend, or several friends! New material is being added daily, so be sure to check back often. Bye for now. Gordon
Rainbow Over TinTown
Rainbows, like sunsets, can be cliche for a photographer, but when they happen right over your house, they still make me stand back in awe.
Big Day Up … Indeed.
Mount Washington saw a feast of music, colour and all-round good times on Saturday July 17th. The sun beat gloriously down and the crowd grooved. All this on the side of a mountain that looked to snow-capped peaks and the Comox Glacier in the distance. Now that’s a location. A big shout-out to the organizers [...]
The Big Day Up was here …
The Big Day Up has come and gone. Great feelings and images remain. Click here to check them out.
Vancouver Island Music Fest Rocks
Vancouver Island Music Fest has come and gone, but the images remain. I was invited to photograph this amazing festival. Something for everyone as I hope you’ll glean from this collection of images in this gallery: Vancouver Island Music Festival Check out the festival’s website.
Island Music Fest grooves… check out the images…
Another fine festival has come and gone but the images go on… The lineup was stellar with some of my faves being Little Feat (fine fine fine), The Baskery, The Don Anderson Trio, Po’ Girl… And then there are the wondering performance artists, the awesome international cuisine, fine beer, great weather, a river with beautiful [...]

Lauren Woolstencroft – 5 X Gold Para-Olympian
I took this shot for the Globe and Mail back on March 24th. The photo was a front cover shot / story about Lauren’s phenomenal accomplishments at the 2010 Whistler Para-Olympics. The story was entitled, Canada’s Golden Girl and can be viewed here, http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/canadas-golden-girl/article1511256/ The idea that we tried to convey was that she was [...]

2010 Olympics & The Snow Leopard
Canon International have lent me their latest gear (cameras and lenses) for the duration of the Olympics. Basically, as a pro Canon shooter (and Nikon offers a similar service as well), you can show up to the Olympics without any kit and shoot with the latest gear. Cool.
The Snow Leopard has Landed…
…they have installed these yellow pylons that make the lanes extremely narrow and they are absolutely memorizing at night especially in the glare of oncoming lights. Add a little water on the pavement and the surface becomes one long mirror …
Yoga at Long Beach
I took this shot at Long Beach in Canada’s premier west coast park, Pacific Rim National Park. As you can see from the beach, you can walk for miles. You can also do handstands. I love this shot for its balance, if you’ll pardon the pun. And she held the handstand for quite some time.
Young Man in Addis Ababa
I took this picture in a recycling centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The center is unique in that people live in the recycling area surrounded by heaps of scrap metal and parts. And amazingly, it is recycled, or upcycled into new products that are pounded out by hand and anvil. This young man was asking [...]
