Susie and I went down to the Festival of Friends in Hamilton. I was in the pit shooting with the 5D and she had the Rebel XT.
Some party girls climbed up the TV tower to dance for a bit!





THE classic Iron Maiden pose!




I almost missed this great shot of James. Amazing guitar face:

Well, my wife and I just celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversay. We spent the day in Niagara Falls. The first 4 pics are from Susie. She’s learning to shoot now! Stay tuned for more from her in the future. 



The next batch are from me:





The next shot is of Tiger Wright(I hope I spelled it right!) of Casa d’Oro. Great guy, stop by have a great meal and get your picture with The Tiger!
This next one is from our hotel room. I didn’t have a tripod or a cable release, so don’t mind the flaws!

Went to Home Depot the other night and found “the Woz” on a license plate. Is it really him? Nope…not sure who it is but my Apple nerd hat came out and I had to capture this.

Had a great seminar with Becker today. Got to hang out with lots of great photographers. I can’t name everyone as there was about 25 of us. Great time, lots of great info. Time to put it all to work.
Thanks to Glen Flett from Fusion Photographic for putting this together.
Here’s some pics from our day.

Hey fanclub! Sorry for no picture today. I’m prepping for Cuba and my brand new HP Laptop died that I got at Future Shop. So I had to exchange it tonight. They didn’t have any, so I “upgraded” to a Toshiba. Hopefully get a better experience out of this one! I’ll be back soon.
