Eddy the Eagle

So this isn't actually directly family related, but it was a lot of fun to make and I like it, so I thought I would share it here anyway... I made this after a skiing trip to Lake Louise with my buddy Eddy on Friday. Eddy's a great skier and we have a great time bombing all over the mountain together. It was an amazing day of blue skies, warm weather, and there was still some fresh powder to be found (if you know where to look)! This video honestly doesn't do a great job of … Continue Reading ››

Movember – Join the Fight Against Prostate Cancer

Self PortraitI have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer.

Total Hard Drive Failure

Total FailureThis will be a much more informative post than I normally write, where the message is more important than the photo.

Louise went into the office to use our old desktop computer and found only a black screen. Melanie had been playing a game on it … Continue Reading ››

Pelican on the Bow River

We had our first Pelican sighting of the year today. These American White Pelicans arrive in Calgary in late April, hang out on the Bow River all summer, and then take off to Florida before it gets too cold... Sounds like a good plan to me! It was a pretty ugly day today with plenty of snow and rain, but we both had the day off and took advantage of it anyway. We went for a really nice walk along the river and saw plenty of birds including ducks, geese, and a Hawk soaring high above.

Favorite Photos on Flickr

XT_00045 B&W 2As some of you may have already seen, I've created a Flickr site to share some of my personal favorite photos. I will continue to post all of my regular photojournalistic style photos of family events, trips, etc. here as I have always done, while my Flickr account will see only the best of those and also some more artistic (or photoshoppped) images that may not get posted here.
There is a permanent link to a slideshow … Continue Reading ››
