Autumn in Monochrome

I guess autumn is famous for its colours but I have been seeing it in Black & White this year. This has a slight tone so it is not truly black & white.

Truth And Beauty Studio

Again I offer one of by photos so I can introduce somebody else.

This weekend I made the effort to see some photographs of India by local photographer Bjoern Obst at "Truth and Beauty Gallery", on 16th and and Heather, in Vancouver.

The photos were beautiful, as you can see on his website. Bjoern was in the gallery talking to the owner of "Truth and Beauty", and curator of Bjoern's show, Peppa Martin. They were both warm and welcoming and we had a long talk about photography and the benefits that a photography collective in Vancouver could offer. Peppa's gallery is also her studio where she does her portrait work and displays some of her own terrific prints.

Gary Friesen 1950 - 2011

This post is dedicated to my cousin Gary Friesen. In my mind he will always be the guy with the great hair, lopsided smile and an old car to work on. My thoughts are with Edna, Pat, Marlene and Diana.

Sunflower

It is important for me to go back over old photos as I redefine my Photoshop skills. A little bit of gaussian blur on the background made this the photo I didn't have the equipment for, to do in camera, when I took this shot.

Ottawa

A couple of tourist shots from our nation's capital. We went to the National Gallery of Canada and saw the Caravaggio exhibit. Made possible by Brian. Much thanks.
