Right back in the water

There’s nothing quite like a hot summer’s afternoon on the water.

This photo was one of my favourites in a series I took during the Canada Day long weekend. It embodies the comforts and true beauty of the Durham Region.

Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering, On. is one of my favourite lake access destinations … although, you won’t find me swimming in it anytime soon.

Rockin shades

Whether it’s driving through Durham’s back roads or swimming in sparkling Caribbean waters, these pink Boathouse shades are a must-have, at least for me.

What can I say? I have sensitive eyeballs.

The little things

One of my main goals this summer: find loveliness in the smallest of things.

We are constantly surrounded by worldly charms – whether it’s outside our front door, en route to work, or vacationing at Blue Mountain. Beauty is simply everywhere.

To help me accomplish – or at least try to accomplish – this project,  I recently purchased a Sigma 70-300mm macro telephoto zoom lens.

Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose

James Taylor sings, “With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go … ” – and for so long I’ve tried to capture those words in a photo.

I think I’m getting close.


And I see your true colours

Shooting this collection of Lisa Marshall was particularly important to me – not only has she been a life-long friend, but she is an all around beautiful person inside and out. Miss Marshall impacts the lives of everyone she encounters, always for the better. Her glowing personality and her drive to succeed is inspirational.

The photographs were shot along Duffins Creek, the same path I used to take while walking to grade school. Despite the ever-changing town of Ajax, somehow this location has remained the same: peaceful and meaningful, at least to me.
