Maloreigh and Allie – Burlington Strobist at work
Another day (there Dave, another Dream Theater reference for ya). I emailed my next two brides that I'll be shooting in August. I can't wait. It's been forever since I shot a wedding. I still have to post a few of my favourite pics from the last weddings I did with AC Images. They look great and Andrea is an awesome →
Time for Change
Today hit me like a ton of bricks. Here's why: http://www.davidschultz.org/ I just found out that I don't exist and it's getting worse. I have to ask myself, What am I doing? Well, I thought I'll get a nice flash website, an awesome blog, a smugmug page, a facebook page, a twitter account, and on and on and on. Why? Because that's →
Susie with Flare
Tried a bunch of shots in my backyard tonight, inspired by Strobist and Zack Arias. It's time to get creative or get going. So I'm getting creative.
The Cookie Thief
I had a great idea tonight to shoot the cookies that Desiree and Maloreigh made last night. We had tons! So tonight as I was trying to setup my shot, a little hand reached up to grab some. I thought, you know what? this is my shot. It was perfect.
Lighting Flare
I thought I would try my hand at some more flare shots. I think this one looks pretty cool.
Gargoyle
One of my neighbours was getting rid of his gargoyle because he's missing an ear. Well, I think it adds character, so I picked him up. Yup, I'm a garbage picker. I need to find an awesome spot for this guy, I just don't know where yet.
Kids make their memories
One of our walls in our new basement had this writing all over it. Lots of great memories for the previous owners. Kids heights at different ages, all kinds of scribbles. One day it will be gone as we will be doing our own wall with our kids.
Backgammon Cube
Ah the cube. It changes everything. It can make a nice friendly game end in seconds.
Sophie & Hovig Wedding Invitations
I received my wedding invitation from my cousin and her fiancée today. The invites look amazing as will my cousin!
Kraft Peanut Butter
Mmmmmm goodness. I love peanut butter and so do my kids. Tonight, Hayden had 2 PB sandwiches. My favourite is the triple decker, 3 slices of bread with lots of PB. You can't go wrong. On special occasions I'll have PB and Strawberry Jam. Now that's a treat.
Exercise – ugh
Well, it's time to get back on the bike. Today marked my first day of getting back in to exercising. It was a rough start, but I give it a few more mornings of hard work and I'll be right back into it. My goal is to lose some weight around the "keg" section!
Broil King
yes I am! I love to BBQ. When we moved into our new house, we were not able to take the old BBQ with us as it had lived out it's life. It was a good BBQ, but it had to go. So welcome the new BBQ, Mr. Broil King!
Desiree and Hayden at Bronte Creek
Today we spent the day at Bronte Creek. I didn't bring any of my cameras as we were suppose to go swimming, but Mr. Thunderstorm put an end to that fun. So we spent a lot of time inside the play barn and looking at the animals.
Candy cigarettes
Wow, I guess I haven't looked at the candy aisle for a while. It's amazing what is still out there. I didn't think they were allowed to make these anymore, but boy do they look authentic. I agree that these "Target" and "Round up" young smokers.
Cabo Wabo Tequila
Tequila! duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh duh. I did some minor de-construction tonight when I got home from work. We finally got rid of our old washer, dryer and fridge. Our basement and kitchen seem so empty now without these extra appliances just hanging around. Once they left, I went right to work, in my work clothes, cutting away →
Jenga fall
I tried to capture some motion of the game falling, but couldn't get it to tip over while hand holding the camera. Also, you had to re-stack every time and I was growing tired of rebuilding my set every 30 seconds.
July 13th 2010 – my 365 – Rush Concert Review
Tuesday night was a great night! Thunderstorms held back, the temperature was just perfect and Rush was playing for nearly 3 hours. It just doesn't get better than that. Yes, many people do not like them, but they have an amazing fan base. Lots of families were there to enjoy the show, even little babies. →
July 12th 2010 – my 365 – dueling fridges
Out with the old and in with the new. It was a good fridge(not really) for the last 5 days. We won't even be keeping the oldie as a beer fridge as the door doesn't stay shut.
July 10th 2010 – my 365 – Henry Franc’s Darling House Charity BBQ
My dear friend Henry Franc had his annual Darling House Charity BBQ this weekend. You couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was out, not a cloud in the sky, great food and great friends. I'm attaching a picture of his smoker, as I was quite jealous.
July 9th 2010 – my 365 – The kids head out
We were ready to head out for our last day together this week! It was a great week with just me and the little ones. While we didn't get to go to Bronte Creek as planned, we did lots of playing around the new house and little trips around Burlington.
July 8th 2010 – my 365 – Chocolate Dip
Nothing says breakfast like a box of Chocolate Dip Donuts from Tim Hortons. The two little kids and I enjoyed them!
July 1st 2010 – my 365 – Happy Birthday Canada
Ahhh! I am finally back online today(July9th). So many things happened since my last post. First and foremost, we moved into our new house. I haven't had the chance to pick up my camera in over a week, it's been nuts. We finally got the internet back on Wednesday of this week, so I'm trying to make up for some →
June 28th 2010 – my 365 – Hayden’s new haircut
We had to cut his hair again. It was just too long. He loves to twirl it in his fingers and kept getting knots. They'd be so bad we had to cut them out anyways. So here's the new do:
June 27th 2010 – my 365 – Desiree, Hayden and the chipmunks
Another walkabout with the kids today. We went to find some more chipmunks to feed. This time we brought some soy nuts with us. Guess what, they animals don't like them either! lol. We couldn't get a single chipmunk to eat them out of our hands. They'd come up, sniff them, then run away. The kids had fun anyways.
