Over 16 years ago my family welcomed a little ball of fur into our home, a beautiful kitten who was left abandoned in the sawdust filled ditch that ran along our driveway. A beautiful friend who has become one of my greatest treasures and inspirations, Oliver’s unique personality has taught me so much about life. Love the outdoors, explore your world, and take time to relax!
Amazon S3 Glacier storage is, in my humble opinion, the most accessible, cost-effective, and trusted choice for storing your photo archive on the cloud. The internationally acclaimed (and feared) retail giant began developing their storage options back in 2006 to help businesses improve their digital infrastructure.
Hey readers, as you probably know by now, I have been teaching on Hudson Bay in the Eeyou Itschee community of Whapmagoostui since late October. Some of you have been asking about my living space and how the teaching is going and I’d like to answer these questions before I leave in two weeks!
Bit rot, hardware malfunctions, and corrupted hard drives. What do these (however unlikely) scenarios have in common? If you don’t have a solid storage plan, these events spell out your greatest nightmare: lost photos!

Battling the arctic winds off Hudson bay and the deep snow on the ground, I slowly make my way back to my accommodations. Its 4:05 and the sun has already set, stars beginning to twinkle behind a cloud covered sky.

Today marks the end of the third week I’ve spent on Hudson Bay and I’m missing the sun, stars, and warm weather! (*and my little brat Oliver*)
My first few days in Whapmagoostui, Quebec (Great Whale River). Sub-arctic climate, wild wheat, stray jellyfish, and a lot of sand! Read about my experience landing on Hudson Bay and see some of the photos I took during my first week working there.
Infrared photos are famous for their fascinating surreal look that cannot be easily reproduced within the visible spectrum. Whether black and white or colour, these photos use high contrasts and ‘false colour’ to add extra definition and a dissonant yet attractive character to any composition. Using my recent experience with infrared photography, in this tutorial I explore how you can use your DSLR with an infrared filter to capture and process your own unique photos.
Algonquin park is ablaze with colour as the Sugar Maple leaves are now bearing intense red tones and the Aspens a golden yellow. Before yesterday, I hadn’t been to Algonquin Provincial Park in quite some time, forgetting how outrageous the canopy colours really are! If you have been looking for a place to go and are willing to travel a couple hours, keep this place in mind.
Welcome to my photography blog, a place where the road never ends and the sun never sets. Here you can follow my photographic journey as I continue to work on my craft while offering fun tips and information to inspire others to become their best self!
Over the last decade I have used several different photo labs to print my personal photos, from family snapshots to beautiful compositions. During this same time period I have noticed significant disparities between the prints I have received. Washed out or over saturated, blurry or oversharp, these images have caused me to wonder if there even are any quality standards among these “photo labs”! Scroll down and you’ll see what I’m referring to…
