This is a re-working of an image I made in December of 2006. It's amazing what a little post-processing can do to an image. I made this exposure with this final outcome in mind, but when you see the original raw file it's pretty bland. Maybe I'll show you one day.

This is an image made in Belfountain, Ontario back in December of 2005. I was shooting with my old Sony H1 at the time. I wish I had my Nikon back then...I could have done a lot more with this image. I still like it all the same.

An image from a foggy day back in November of 2006. This was made in Erin, Ontario. Those birds in the background were all on the ground, so I had Damien sneak up on them (just to the right of this image), and scare them so that they would fly up. I just wish they were a little closer.

This was made in a place called Etno Selo, in Serbia. They took various houses representing different building styles from across the country and re-located them to this one place. Picture Toronto's Pioneer Village and you'll kind of get the idea.

Now, about this image.
This road was crazy. It ran along the Danube river in Serbia, and overlooked Romania (which was just to the right of this image on the other side of the water).

This was a place that my brother and I passed on a long drive back in November of 2006. It was a lone house just outside of Mansfield, Ontario.

I really like this photograph. The high contrast almost makes it look like an IR image.

Two old cars that Marina's relatives owned in Serbia. They flipped one on it's side, but I can't remember why.

A lake near my wife's village, Brusnik, in Serbia. We ate dinner at a restaurant just to the right of this image. Great place.

Damien and I went for a country drive yesterday filming and photographing the landscape. This was one section. Yes...that snow is taller than my vehicle.
Damien's videos can be found at www.melonmanmedia.com.

An image I made back in August 2009. That was a good day.

Another take on a previous post. I think I prefer this one.

I made a similar image at this exact location back in...oh...probably 2004-2005. I had a 4 MP point and shoot at the time and while I liked the image, the quality was just not there. Fast forward 2 years later to November 2007. I had my Nikon d70s with me, and just happen to be in the same area when the fog rolled in. I decided to re-shoot the landscape in the same conditions (an experience that doesn't come around all that often).

As seen from my living room Sunday morning. Yes, I should have been in bed. Why was I up this early on a Sunday, you ask? Beats me.

I miss Lola. Haven't seen her since new years. I wonder what she's up to? I should give her a call. The problem is that when I do talk to her on the phone, she just breathes into the handset.

What a memorial! I think this was the only tombstone in the cemetery that was like this, too.

It's always an eerie experience to hang out in a cemetery in the fog.

There's just something about corn fields that I really like. Maybe the vertical lines?
