Friday, December 22, 2006


My parents are in town for the holidays and were so kind enough to take us out to go watch the Sens. We had great seats in the lower bowl and I was able to sneak my D80 in with a Nikon 50mm f1.8. Here are a few shots!!

Ice Storm

Monday, December 4, 2006



This past Friday we had an Ice Storm here in Ottawa, not nearly as bad as the 1998 Ice Storm but it did put a damper on my drive home. This was the first bit of winter weather this year, all I had in the car for an ice scraper was a Dave Matthews Crash CD Case, it took me about 20 mins to get the ice off the windsheild. These storms make for great photo ops, I did not get to shoot much but this street lamp outside of my day job office. Stay tuned from other pics of Ottawa's crazy winter weather.

The Life of Lewis & Whistler


Well our good friends Melanie, Jeff & Lewis the dog are in visiting from the great northern community of Iqaluit. Its great having Lewis around to keep Whistler company, as you can see in the pictures below they are taking a well needed nap. Although Lewis isn't getting much sleep because I have my big Nikon 17-55mm-f2.8 lens about 2 inches away from his face.
