Taking a Bite out of Christmas '09

Hope everyone's Christmas is healthy, happy and spiritually enlightening. Now pass the pierogi's!

Christmas is Around the Corner

Santa must be close, I saw him driving to work today!

Read The Sign !

2009-11-01T16:51:00.003-05:00

I always wondered who would hand out tickets to geese when they disobeyed traffic signs?

Internet Back On-line

2009-04-30T20:34:00.004-05:00

So this year I'm fighting earthquakes in Italy (albums delayed from supplier), wind and rain storms in Toronto that knocked out my Internet service for five days! Sorry for the delays to my clients, but acts of God are kicking my ass. I wonder were does India call when their Internet service goes down?

Stormy Friday

2009-04-24T20:15:00.000-05:00

Not only is the economy taking a beating so are some photographers in Toronto. This is a studio near to mine that almost got crushed by a tree. The storm winds damaged trees, power lines, traffic lights and caused all kinds of chaos on the roads today!

Waiting For Spring

2009-03-15T12:28:00.000-05:00

Like these birds I'm waiting for summer and soaking up some sun. We've been teased a little lately. Bring on the HEAT!

My Name Is; David Wilcox!

2009-01-04T08:56:00.006-05:00

If you ever done The Bearcat on a Riverboat Fantasy while Laying Pipe and Having Breakfast at the Circus, then you understand why David Wilcox is a giant on blues guitar and facial expressions. Shot here at the Q107 Christmas Party it was my pleasure. Buy his records: David Wilcox Rocks!

Merry Christmas 2008

2008-12-25T13:16:00.005-05:00

Wishing all friends, family and loved ones all the blessings of the Season. A happy, healthly and wealthy Christmas 2008 everyone. God Bless!

Congratulations Michael Ignatieff

2008-12-12T18:58:00.004-05:00

Congratulations to Michael Ignatieff being named interim leader of the Provincial Liberal party. I had an opportunity to meet and hear Mr. Ignatieff speak at a banquet ceremony not too long ago that I was covering. I'm not a big Dion fan and certainly don't really agree with Liberal policy. But I did find Ignatieff very articulate with some very interesting goals in mind. Hope this NEW coalition will kick some Blue ass all over Ottawa!

Bernie & Rob E-Session

2008-12-05T18:50:00.013-05:00

These real moments are awesome during a portrait session. This relaxed moment is brought to you by Bernie and Rob who unfotunately were not smiling on their Wedding Day. The tents they had rented for their outdoor reception completely collapsed under all the rain that fell during the day. So they had to move everything into the garage and fast:

Fun was had by all. Lots of rain was spilled as well as alcohol.

Donna, Jeff and introducing Micaya

Rain, Rain Go Away.......

2008-11-28T20:22:00.005-05:00

Here is a shot for a spec spot I worked on for Canadian Tire. It went really well and hope to work on more ads in the future!

Just Around The Bend!

2008-11-24T20:50:00.008-05:00

This shot was taken on my way back from Sudbury, Ontario this weekend with my brand new Nikon Coolpix P6000. I was there for a much needed change of scenery. I had a chance to visit some old friends and let off some steam in the -20 C weather. With the sun setting over that Canadian Shield rock and crisp weather outside I felt really blessed with all the great friends around me lately. I wanted to say THANK YOU for all your support to Winston, Babak, Mark, Rob, James and my Family. I love you guys and I promise great stuff is just around the bend!

Google- Earth Hour; Lights Out!!!

2008-03-29T15:00:00.004-05:00

Anyone notice that Google has turned it's lights out today on their homepage? They are promoting a energy awareness program that I think is a great idea. Earth Hour is a great idea and I hope a genuine step to help replenish the earth!
BTW, it may seem our lights have been out on our BLOG, but believe me lots of changes coming very soon!

Happy New Year 2008 !

2008-01-01T19:37:00.000-05:00

Needed to post something this fresh slushy(not only outside but in my head) New Year..... Some may be asking what happened, where were/are you? Maybe make a New Years resolution to post more?

A very wise man once said: " New Years resolutions were made one year to be and ignored the next! "

Need I say more?

Top Secret Wedding

2007-08-28T22:03:00.000-05:00

Well what a whirlwind weekend. Two amazing weddings and sore pounding feet to prove it. One of the weddings was Top Secret until now and has to be one of the highlights in my photographic career. I had the amazing invitation to shoot bridal gown designer extraordinaire INES DiSANTO daughters Wedding. If that wasn't enough pressure then add the uber talented photographer MIKE COLON and his assistant Rosanna from Newport Beach CA, and RAY SANTANA from Miami, Florida. You can only imagine how much NIKON gear was flying around between the four of us. Our wonderful couple Veronica and Jacob braved the pouring rain and proceeded with an outdoor ceremony at COPPER CREEK GOLF COURSE. The weather did clear up to get some amazing magic hour shots in a grassy field overlooking the beautiful greens. The Bride also debuted THREE custom DiSanto Wedding gowns that were just stunning. Sorry can't show pictures just yet due to exclusive rights of publication, but stay tuned. Also shooting around the wedding was Jeff Wright of BLUE SKIES CINEMA video. For that surprise stay tuned to MIKE COLON's BLOG. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Colon for inviting me to shoot this wonderful occasion it truly was an honour and an experience I will not soon forget! It was truely a pleasure meeting and working with all of you. God Bless.

A Date With Stanley

2007-04-29T09:42:00.000-05:00

How exited do you think this red blooded Canadian was when his kids said The Hockey Hall of Fame would be dropping by their school with the most coveted cup in the WORLD! We Canadians are crazy for Hockey and now the playoffs are under way and it's so cool to actually see the Stanley Cup that will be hoisted over the 2007 National Hockey League Champions!

The Stanley Cup is truly a work of art. Did you know that every players named is engraved onto the cup from every Championship team since the early 1900's! Unfortunately our poor Toronto Maple Leafs last hoisted the cup in 1967.

This was a very sad time. Only twice in the history of the NHL was their ever a canceled season. 2004/05 was a players and owners dispute which forced a "Lock-Out" and back in the early 1900 a flu epidemic in forced a cancellation.

The end of a hockey's dynasty Teams. We will probably never ever see this type of run again. The young and awesome Wayne Gretzkey's first of 4 Stanley Cups he was also a 10 time scoring leader in the NHL. The way salaries are today and trading of players we will never see teams win this many successive cups anymore. Too much business and corporate influence in this great sport. Did you notice something odd about the engraving on the top right side? Well the Stanley Cup is not perfect . Some names have been misspelled and other non team members tried to sneak their names onto the cup.

Thanks to my girls and Lord Stanley for an awesome date. I hope you enjoyed a little trivia about the Greatest Game on EARTH......well at least I think so :)

Weddings Gone Wild

2007-04-15T14:19:00.000-05:00

You know you've got the BEST clients in the world when they will do anything for you on their Wedding Day to get a picture! Like break into an abandoned building on the lake front in freezing spring weather. Teresa & Steve are amazingly beautiful people inside and out who allowed me to share in their wonderful union. They wanted a unique look to their pictures and baby, they got it! Thanx for putting up with me and check back for more pictures......

Play, Play, Play

2007-03-13T18:58:00.000-05:00

Got to spend a wonderful afternoon with Malik and mom Lauren. You know your going to have a great shoot when your subject is waiting in the window and waving at you the second you pull into the driveway! From there it was " play, play, play ". BIG thank you to Teresa who booked this session for her sister. Wait for her Wedding pictures in about a month, I can't wait. About two weeks left for our "March Madness" photo sessions.

Strollometer

2007-03-08T09:30:00.000-05:00

I get to see quite a few strollers come into the studio and when I'm on location shooting Family portraits. Let me tell you they are getting really Hi Tech! Here is the newest gadget I've seen for all you active moms. It's called a Strollometer it's a computer speedometer that fits onto a stroller. It also tells time, temperature average speed, trip time and distance and mileage! What a great aid to to stroll back into shape in style.

Maternity Studio Shoot

2007-03-06T20:23:00.000-05:00

Braving the cold weather and delivery of the baby, Vicky, Jeff and son Kyle came into the studio for some moody "belly" shots. When everyone saw how much fun mum was having they wanted in for a impromptu family portrait..... actually she was very nervous because she is VERY pregnant. But I think she looks beautiful. So I made them a little collage of the session that's going up in their bedroom. Remember our "March Madness" studio fee sale contact us to book your session!

March Madness

AC/DC Rocks Hollywood

2007-02-24T14:19:00.000-05:00

If you have been following this BLOG, you know I like my music and live bands. Nothing better on a Friday night than to make some noise with your friends a few pints and a GREAT cover band. For Those About To Rock did just that last night. A packed house and great AC/DC tunes from the boys. Thanks to James for inviting me to take some pictures for their website and some upcoming promos, stay tuned.....

More Snow

2007-02-22T10:48:00.000-05:00

Well at least the kids are enjoying it. It's always a surprise when I open the blinds in the morning. It's been so mild all week everyone said the cold weather and heavy snow is behind us. Well Mother Nature definitely had something to say today and that was; " Get out the shovels..."

Kodak Moments

2007-02-16T22:32:00.001-05:00

You won't need any Kleenex after this Kodak spot. You might remember the "Live Forever" campaign. It featured kids at the Kodak Museum experiencing pictures "talking". Well if that was to syrupy for you this will definetly be a kick in the pants ... for sure!

For the Love of Cuba

2007-02-16T19:14:00.001-05:00

For some the love of Cuba is it's cigars and beautiful beaches. For me it's all about the rhythm. I used to perform and tour alot more with bands as a bassist so I dig the pocket. Speaking of which, check out the grooves from Cuban percussionist Yoel Del Sol who performs solo on congas. Tell me that's not love.

Snow Job

2007-02-15T11:04:00.001-05:00

All work and no play......

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Birthday Alexandra

2007-02-11T16:47:00.000-05:00

Well it's Alexandra's first birthday! Wow, so much to look forward to. If us adults start to clean up some of the mess we've made of this earth. If "An Inconvenient Truth" is not a sobering enough statement about Global Warming than you are more naive than you think. Alexandra has a reason to be, but we don't: Have a look at The New Global Warming Report.

Toronto Stand Off !

2007-02-11T12:32:00.000-05:00

So this was the seen outside my kitchen window this morning. My neighbours dog who is usually barking at his own tail, sounded a little different today? So I looked out the window to see what was going on. When all of a sudden Clint Eastwood's "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" stand off soundtrack kicked in. It was wasn't a hot Mexican desert, but a brittley crisp cold Canadian morning. When these two foes stared each other down! Sassy trying to protect his territory and sounding off that he is BOSS....When the ever so cool quite and composed coon arched its back and WACK! Let him have it right in the nose, I love a great ending. Especially when the big mouth gets it in the end!

All Fired Up!

2007-02-09T02:16:00.000-05:00

I have to say Jenn and the gang at All Fired Up Ceramics are just fabulous! If your kids or you adults are getting a little stir crazy because of the cold weather head over to the studio and have some fun with ceramics. They have hundreds of pieces from cups, bowls to fairy princesses. March break is around the corner check out their camps and workshops in Origami and Realism Drawing.

New Years Resolutions

2007-01-18T18:10:00.000-05:00

How many of us made a New Years Resolution? People argue that making them is pointless because we break them all the time. I disagree. The fact that we are thinking of change be it physical, mental or financial is a step in the right direction. "Everything that is watched improves", according to Bob Parsons CEO and fonder of GoDaddy.com . Check out his blog for some great business advice that can be applied to personal well being.

One More Day?

2006-12-21T20:58:00.000-05:00

At this time of year I find myself reflecting and wondering about family, friends and events in my life. Inevitably there are regrets and you wonder " If I had just one more day..." What would you do with it? Makes you cherish the time you have when you truly realize it can be gone tomorrow. I think that’s why I love photography; we can make yesterdays last a life time!
