It’s my birthday. Spent the day at work, then the evening with my wife. The kids were at my parents. Now time to watch some Dexter then off to bed.
Here’s a picture my 3 year old took of me this summer. I still held the camera while she fired off a few pics.

Hey Everyone. Today is Launch day for the new website!!
About a year ago we started our website as a blog at ninelivephotography.ca. We got lots of traffic and it was a great avenue to showcase our work. After talking to clients and fellow photographers, I decided it was time to launch a website to go alongside the blog. I searched high and low and looked at some really great options. So today we bring you:

A big thanks to the team at Photobiz.com for making my life so easy! They offered amazingly fast customer service, had great tutorials and gave a courtesy call the day after you purchased your site! Another big thanks goes out to my wife and office manager for overseeing the whole process and adding her touch of magic.

Just a quick random shot from my ribfest walk last week. This one made me think of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

So my main computer is in the shop, so I’m only left with my laptop. I’ve had such photoshop withdrawl that I’ve had to download some pictures from my camera phone and edit them. Here’s the only ones that I could recover…

So my old car died on the side of the 407 a few weeks ago. We went out and purchased our new Kia Rio5. Here’s a shot of the odometer. I couldn’t get it right at the lot as I didn’t have the camera with me and I have to pick up the kids from daycare, so Susie got to drive it home.

Hayden got to go with daddy to BBQ’s Galore in Burlington to pick up our new smoker. If you’re looking for a great BBQ or smoker, I recommend checking these guys out. Great service and the sales reps know what they’re talking about.
Here’s some pics from our day together:

What is that funny car behind me?
Google Car sighting!!!!!
Driving home from my 9-5 on the 403 tonight, I spotted the Google car a few lengths behind me. So instead of joining the HOV lanes like usual, I stayed in the slow lanes until Google car caught up with me. He exited at Erin Mills Parkway. I snapped some pics with my camera phone then kept on going home. This was a Google nerd’s dream come true!! Yes, I’m a Google nerd. tks!
