A Fall colour scene along the East River in New Glasgow NS. the little shed couldn't be more in tune with the seasons colour gamut.
What isn't being contrasted here? Brick versus wood, red versus green.
I think the composition has great balance both in texture and colour.

I love this shot.......simple detail of some plain grey concrete steps..... flip them upside down and wow.

Dew drops on some webbing...a pretty little universe.

A high dynamic range shot at Carmichael Park in New Glasgow NS.
Lovely waterfall detail from the Greenvale area of NS. I like the change in direction at the dark rock.
this was about a 4 second exposure.

Another favorite of mine. An old tree in a park here in New Glasgow NS. The big knot hole in the tree has become home to some sort of white mushroom like fungus... it looks great against the dark rough bark.

A favorite shot from this past winter.
Close-up detail of water bubbles trapped in ice. The area photographed is probably only about 2 inches wide.
Shot hand-held with a Canon G-9.

"Sandbox" back in the early 90's.
This was a film original shot on a 6x6
Twin Lens Reflex camera.


A couple of vintage looking warm tone black and whites of water in different states. The first shot is ice at Peggy's Cove NS, smoothed down and neatly fitted together from bumping into each other. The second shot is a detail from a brook just outside of Antigonish NS. The 3 second exposure gave me nice soft water set against the hard rock and sharp spikes of grass.

Randy Swallow, an old friend and amazing talent.
I love his classic relaxed pose, love the clock and love the rug. Shot upstairs in the Swallow family's legendary barn.
