I've had this image stuck in my head for 2 months now, and I finally got around to making it 10 minutes ago! I haven't created many still life images, but I like how this one turned out.
HAPPY HALLOWE'EN! AGAIN!

Jack-O-Lantern, 2009
This is what I was working on last night when the fire alarm went off in the building. It was my first time using a Dremel to help carve the pumpkin, and it was amazing! All these years of waiting for it, and I finally had it!
HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!

Fence & Wheat
This image was made back in 2007, and has been sitting in my "TO POST" folder for over 2 years now. I originally had it in monochrome, but I think the colour works better. Have you noticed I've been posting a lot of colour images lately? What's up with that? I think working on the new book is having an effect on me (it's in colour as well).

Weeping Willow Reflection
As much as I'm looking forward to winter and currently enjoy autumn, I'm already kind of missing summer.

Grandpa's Birthday
A couple of weeks ago my grandfather had another birthday. Since then he fell in the backyard when he was home alone (and was found 4 hours later by my brother), and he's begun his cancer treatment. Not a very good couple of weeks.

Foggy Forest
I came across one of my old USB keys in a box that I thought I had lost. I decided to pop it into the computer to see what files I had on it. There was only this one picture. I don't remember taking it, but I love it.

Fall Contrast
My last colourful autumn photo. I really liked the contrast between the pines and the yellow leaves.

Yellow Trees
Keeping with the past autumn photos, this one was made back in October of 2005 in Caledon. I used my old Sony P43 point and shoot (I didn't have a DSLR at the time). Like yesterdays image, at the time that I made this exposure I didn't have the know how to make it look the way I thought it should. Things do change over time.

A Pond Near The Forks, Redux
I made this image back in October of 2006 and while I liked the original version that I had made, it just lacked something. That something would be vibrant colours. I found the image again while looking through some old photos, and used my current Photoshop skills to boost the image to a new glory.

Welcome To Erin
This was the sight that greeted us last week as we entered one of my favourite towns.

Fall Colours
The scene a couple of weeks ago from my condo. Most of the leaves are down now.
I'm heading up onto the roof of my Mom's house today to start setting up the Christmas lights. Yes, it's October...but I'm not going up there in the snow!

What Is That?
Farm animals are hazardous to photographic equipment. They eat first and ask questions later.

The Barn Owl
This guy did one of those full-on owl head spins and stopped right at me. With those dead, black eyes it seemed like he was looking right through me. Gave me the creeps.

Golden Eagle
Nope. This is not cropped. He was 2 feet from my lens!

Goat: A Portrait
Marina, my mom, her friend and I went down to the Erin Fall Fair yesterday in Erin, Ontario. I love that fair. It's the epitome of autumn.
In light of yesterdays post, I thought I'd post a similar image. This one: a goat.

Harvest Posts
Continuing with yesterday's theme, this image was made in St. Jacobs, Ontario last week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Reach For The Sky
I was going for a similar look to the image I made this past summer called Cat Tails In Sturgeon Lake, No. 2. This is my fall version of the theme.

Me...On Google Street View!
The downside today - I'm sick.
The Upside today - I'm on Google Street View!
I saw the car on the way home last May, and I've been waiting for it to go online! It finally went up today and there I am! Yee Haw!
