As I was leaving the press center I happened upon one of those moments photographers love. No-one else around taking photos, lots of happy people at the end of a long day, everyone relaxed. So here’s a shot I captured with my iPhone, I had my loaded backpacked with all my camera and computer gear […]
Year: 2011
What wonderful images Quebec City provides!
So, I wonder… where to start! I have posted a few shots of the city, totally unrelated to the race. I have a whole bunch of shots that I doubt will ever be posted anywhere unless I put them up… so, I hope that has you wondering, and that the shots are indeed interesting. Each […]
Just a pretty picture
I thought I’d share this image, might make a nice desktop background… Quebec City 2011
The Second Edition of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec
A week has gone by since I last posted here, guess I’ve been a little busy! I did stop in at Jackie’s place on my way here. Got there a little before 11pm on Tuesday, just in time to say goodnight to her and then make myself comfortable in Babe for the night. It helped […]
Another “30 years ago” moment
I’ve written earlier about starting at IBM 30 years ago, retiring after 30 years, my father’s 30 year watch from Leitz… today marks one of the inspirations for my 30 years. Happy 30th birthday, Steff!

A next step in the next chapter
For the upcoming Grand Prix Cycliste events in Quebec and Montreal I will be doing some video work as well. Previously I’ve used my little point-and-shoot cameras for this as it was convenient (at the cost of quality). This year I expect to be doing more significant video coverage and so I’ve expanded my toolkit […]
What a difference a day makes
Andrea and I stayed over at our friend Liz’s place Friday (camped in the driveway). This was to combine a dinner and socializing with a mountain bike ride on the secret trails of Erin with some Lapdogs friends. And it was a great evening, stayed up late chatting after a Thai dinner in Dundas. Then […]
The Big Tour, continued (and concluded)
[Warning: long entry!] Here’s the final trip report from France and le Tour… not sure why it’s taken me so long to wrap it up, blame it on “retirement”. I left off in the Pyrenees, with the Belgians heading north while Andrea and I stayed put; trip 3 was really nice with no places we […]
Jack Layton – July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011
Canada has lost a great man today. My thoughts go out to his family. “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” Jack Layton, Aug 20, 2011 Illustration by Anthony Jenkins
A Summer Storm
I went for a great ride today at Albion Hills with Andrea, Tanya and a handful of “pups” from the Lapdogs team… the trails were great after a little overnight rain and it felt really good to be out on the bike (and to have a weekend off!). As we got back to Toronto, the […]
