With the 2012 Olympics just around the corner the ITT and road races held this past weekend in Gatineau QC were both important and well attended by the elite women’s field. Greenedge, Tibco, Specialized-lululemon and many other teams sent their best talent with an eye on gaining important qualification points. While the World Championships are […]

Back to my (new) usual
What a treat it was thinking in the context of photography as fine art rather than story telling. Although I hope my images tell a story regardless of my intent or the context of presentation I am aware of the difference I feel about the expression and so I assume it reflects what others see […]
5 Photographers, opening reception
Well! What an evening that was! I don’t know how many people came to the reception at Leonardo Galleries, I do know that the two hours flew by chatting with folks. There wasn’t enough time to be able to talk to everyone and I do apologize if I didn’t have a chance to chat with […]
My first: gallery exhibit
I’ll wrap up this trilogy with a post about something I’ve thought about for a while and am thrilled to see actually come together. On May the 10th, 2012 an exhibition entitled “5 Photographers” opens at Leonardo Galleries in Toronto. With a 2 week run during the CONTACT photography festival, an opening reception from 6PM […]
A year ago
I didn’t get to go down to Arkansas to cover the Joe Martin Stage Race this year, that’s what took me south-west at this time a year ago. It’s too bad too, the race action was great and there was very little coverage. I just didn’t get anyone interested in paying for coverage, these are […]

Ready for the next trip
After the amazing trip in New Zealand it’s taken me a while to wrap my mind around being back here and getting ready for the 2012 cycling season. Before my calendar fills up I have this one opportunity to relax and make sure my camper is ready. So on Thursday Andrea and I are heading […]
A film festival submission; another first
Many (over 30?) years ago I submitted a photo to an exhibit and contest in Guelph Ontario… they were reluctant to accept it as it wasn’t framed. In the end they did. And they awarded it first place… with the proceeds I framed it (there were only two prints made from this image and I […]
403 A, eh
The 2012 vintage VW season has started and for me it was with an expansion tank that started to give out. I was expecting it to go some time as it was one of the last casualties from a bad oil change that caused a run-away engine (something unique to diesel engines for those who […]

2012 Canadian Hillman Prize Awarded
Tonight was the presentation of the second Canadian Hillman Prize, an honour bestowed on journalists for their integrity and determination in delivering messages that aren’t always easy to accept. The prize is well earned and has a deep pool of previous recipients. In Canada though, it’s fairly new and is largely due to the efforts […]
