It’s been a busy weekend and it will be an even busier week ahead. And I’m very much enjoying it all. After having a little down time after Shelter Valley I ended up having two very different events to shoot this weekend. The first one involved around 75 people, some lovely quiet forest trails and […]

SVFF 2014 – And Then It Was Over
All the planning and preparing was done for Friday and the gates to the 2014 Shelter Valley Folk Festival opened at noon for campers to get set up and then the festival gates opened at 5pm to let everyone in. It’s now Tuesday, a full day has gone by since SVFF ended and I’m still […]
Good Food, Great Company, A Little Hard Work
This is the perfect recipe for a folk festival in my mind and Shelter Valley does it like no other that I know of. Showing up to work is like a family reunion with lots of great banter and playful conversation with friends from previous years as well as lots of stimulating conversations with new […]
I’m In The Mood For Music
This extended week, from last weekend until the end of next weekend, is a break from photography and a shift to music. So far so good too! The weekend behind was highlighted by the Greenbelt Harvest Festival which is the brainchild of Daniel Lanois. While only four years old it has a reputation for having […]
Take A Minute And A Half…
I didn’t use my GoPro very much while I was away but I did record one time-lapse video similar to the one I did at the Mariposa Folk Festival. This time I just pointed the camera out toward the sun as it was setting. Unfortunately the battery died before the sun completely set, so I’ll […]
Windham – The Third Mountain
The days on this mountain were defined by the hot and dry conditions. This was very much like how it was two years earlier. There was one exception the first evening as a brief shower passed through, leaving this rainbow behind.From a photography perspective, it meant I was in the woods as often as I […]

A Trip Report In Three Mountains
When I finally got around to writing up my Moab trip report it turned into 3 “books”. This report is best broken down into the three mountains that feature prominently in the adventure. Which isn’t done yet by any means! I’ve only just arrived at mountain #3. Since I haven’t written much on my blog […]
Bonus Update From MSA…
I’ve had time relaxing in my camper tonight so I’ve put this 2 segment video together… I suspect the weather today will be a factor for the racing all weekend as the water will continue to flow down from the mountain. And I know the sound of the weed whackers will be replaced by blaring […]
It’s Nice To Be Back
Back at Mont Sainte Anne, back to shooting another big event, back to camping. And back on the road after Monday’s misstep. Back to camping in a parking lot too! I had arranged camping in advance with the media relations person and she made sure things were taken care of. Unfortunately the camping area hadn’t […]
What A Difference A Day Makes
I went to bed last night a little more relaxed than I had been earlier in the evening. Might have been the company; sitting around a kitchen table with Greg and Frank shooting the breeze was fun. Then again it might have been the tasty beer along with some 12 year old Aberfeldy scotch. The […]
