labour day weekend surf/storm - september 2010
last week i noticed there was a big cold front coming through for the labour day weekend. i knew this would bring surf and cold temperatures. unfortunately the wind was more west then north which made things big, burly, and choppy. i shot some photos each day as the front moved through.
saturday was the biggest day, with the provincial police trying to shut down the beach due to the amount of...

bruce peninsula underwater adventure
my friend Zac and i went up to the bruce peninsula a couple weeks ago for some camping, stand up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. we woke up at dawn, went down to an outlet we scoured on google maps, attached our gear to our SUP’s, and took off down the cliffs. we anchored our boards on some rocks and dove in. the water is notoriously clear there, and has sinkholes more than 400 ft. deep. if...

a little wildlife
there was a bat sleeping under a mat i had on my deck - i didn’t know this and moved the mat. it was about 9am, very sunny and bright, and it was going absolutely nuts. it landed in a nearby tree so i started shooting photos of it. the bat didn’t like this because i was close. it snarled it’s fangs at me, and immediately after i shot this photo it flew straight at me in attack...

it's been a while.....
….since i’ve posted anything. i’ve been surfing a lot since i got home from panama, but not taking any pictures of it. lake huron has been real good to me so far in 2010. i figured i’d try to make up for it and shoot some photos this past weekend during a big wind storm that came through.
the long-lens shots are from saturday when it was an absolute washing machine out...

Panama Pt 2...
for my second weekend in Panama, i went to the San Blas Islands. i had read about this area in a travel magazine 5 years ago, and promised myself i would go there one day. this place is the whole reason i came to Panama, and it didn’t disappoint. San Blas was the epitome of paradise. i had always dreamt about being alone on an uninhabited tropical atoll in the middle of no where - and 3...
Panama Pt 1...
i recently went on a trip to Panama. it was the first time i had ever traveled solo, so i knew it was going to be an adventure. i had a lot of fun, met a lot of people, and saw things i had only dreamt about. these first shots are from Bocas Del Toro, and a couple from Panama City. Bocas was nice, but it rained for 6 days straight, out of my 7 there. Panama City was a pretty cool city; and...

death threat & trapped under ice @ poor alex - feb...
i saw death threat and trapped under ice last friday in toronto at the poor alex theater. the show was put on by stuck in the city and turned out to be amazing. i hadn’t seen death threat since 2003 and trapped under ice are always amazing. unfortunately i messed up most of my TUI shots so that’s why they’re B&W and over-exposed. duhhhhhhhhhh

ice cave - jan 16th, 2010
winter is in full effect.
i was driving along a beach here and saw a big ice cave from the road. the ice is thick, and the water is shallow there; so i climed out to the ice and took some snapshots of it. the cave was big enough to sit a couple people in.. and i thought it looked pretty cool.

frozen rail jam - dec. 18th @ blue mtn.
i snapped some photos on saturday at frozen rail jam, in some serious dumpy light. i was waiting to finally shoot something with this fisheye. a lot of good snowboarding & skiing went down and the amount of groms killing it impressed the hell out of me.

first big winter storm of 09...
we got hit with the first storm of the season last week. at one point every road around me was closed, and as you can see from the pictures below there were some treacherous driving conditions. with 60km-80km winds stirring up lake huron for 3 days, came some waves that were spectacular yet blown out and massive. i didn’t see anyone out surfing; and you can’t blame them. there was no...

Nov 15th, small wave day
I spent the afternoon at the beach today shooting some photos and hanging out. There were smaller waves coming in; fun enough to kill a Sunday afternoon.
It's just a lazy afternoon...
This weekend I basically did nothing but take care of my riddled body, attempt to learn more about this camera, and shoot macro with this telephoto lens. I drove around the country trying to find some of my favorite test subjects; cows. You’ll see by scrolling down that I found a still, very obedient cow to photograph…..just totally not what I would have expected…

Lake Huron Surfing Nov 5th, 2009
First hour with my new camera and 70-300mm telephoto lens. I really still don’t know how to use this camera or the lens; here’s how it turned out. I shot all of these out of the window of my truck while sitting on the beach.

Down and Out...
Well my days of skateboarding may be over…..for now. In the 14 years that I have skateboarded, I have never injured myself so bad that I needed surgery; until two weeks ago.
I was skating a loading dock, nothing even special. I fell back when I landed and snapped my arm. Broke both my Ulna and Radius and one of them came out the bottom of my forearm…awesome. Two metal plates and 16...
