When Winnipeg has the most snowfall it’s had in years, the snow piles up a bit. It also takes time to melt away. I took these photos right at the end of February, before temperatures started to warm up a bit. It’s now mid-March, so some of the snow has disappeared, but it'll be while …
Up & Down Some Streets
We’ve had a long cold snowy winter in Winnipeg, this year. Some will say that we always have that in Winnipeg, but we have had more snow than we have over the past few years and more super cold days. Though I dress for the weather, it’s still hard to feel enthusiastic about taking photos …
Nothing To Do With Valentine’s Day
This post has nothing to do with to do with Valentine’s Day, except that photographing this row of townhouses makes me happy. They are located a few blocks from my place and I often wander past them, and sometimes take photos. These townhouses are really nothing special until you notice the shape of the trees, …
Unnatural Fog
I like naturally foggy days and I think most people like foggy photos, but I wasn’t expecting unnatural fog when, one summer day, they changed the air venting system down in the courtyard way below my living room window.

On the Blue Table
When the weather is cold, and I don’t feel like going outside, I sometimes take photos indoors. For today, I gathered up some vegetables and a few raspberries, and then took a few shots. I liked the shapes and bright colours, but also the black and white versions & the silver tone versions. Enjoy! My …

Not So Mundane
Sometimes it’s the mundane that grabs my eye. Nothing exciting at first glance. A basic brick building. But if I pay close attention I see more. I see snow lining the edges that I never really noticed before. A corner edging a grey sky. A cross. Snow piles backing up a snowcapped post that resembles …

From the Ground Up
While walking in my neighbourhood, in Winnipeg, I decided to hold my little camera down low and take shots from the ground's point of view. Take a look! And if you’re interested: My book, Glass Bricks, is out (since April, 2021) and now available worldwide in/through your local bookstores or from https://atbaypress.com/books/detail/glass-bricks.
