"Upon Reflection...."

When you photograph a reflection, you reveal not just the image but also your perspective on it, in both a physical and mental sense. And without thinking about it, you are also documenting something else that’s important: that you exist.

Feathered Friends

Photographing our feathered neighbors is somewhat of an obsession. They’re very beautiful.

Joy At The Art Show

A recent art show allowed me to meet and discuss my work with scores of interested people. It was a thrill.

Drowning The Drone

In January, desperate to find a location to take photos during the dull circumstance of winter, I brought the drone to Pine Grove, the settlement north of Toronto where I grew up.

Suddenly the drone was in the water, halfway across the frozen river.

Thousand Islands Excursion

Feeling the end of summer these days is rough, but here’s an opportunity to hang onto some of its delights: share a Thousand Islands excursion with Esther and me, illustrated by some beautiful low-altitude aerial photographs.

This mid-August trip took us to wonderful locations east of our usual haunts.

Sunsets And Bling

It’s a delight to be back in the Thousand Islands this summer, on our boat Second Wind.

I revel in the beauty of the islands and the waters between. The ever-changing skies. The herons, hawks, and gulls. Early morning swims and dining al fresco. Esther and I call it our paradise.

Magnificent Ice Falls

There’s a fascinating aura to winter waterfalls. All that liquid transformed into towering, spectacular, hard white columns of ice.

At Albion Falls, the waters of Red Hill Creek cascade down for 19 metres, before meandering to Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario.

From The Abstract To Concrete

Winter drone images will often set our minds a-puzzling, inviting us to wonder, what exactly am I looking at? The abstract images of the ice on Grenadier Pond raise more questions than they answer.

Anchorages From The Air

Two fine anchorages in The Thousand Islands: one a familiar locale, the other new to us. A good anchorage attracts many boats and makes for beautiful aerial photographs.
