Viva Las Vegas - Kinda :)

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I took a vacation to Las Vegas. Or, as Bette Midler says, "Oi Vegas!" It was a fun trip, but now that I've done it I won't go back. More on this later.

What we did while there - like a lot of couples do - is get married. Actually, we're already married. Since our fifteenth wedding anniversary was the following week decided to renew our wedding vows at the famous A Little White Wedding Chapel. Many a celebrity has been married there and these folks have turned it into a small industry. The place is kind of like a factory!


Here are a few photos from that event.

Beauty and the Beast

I have had the great priviledge to be invited to show my work at the Abbey for the Arts in North Lancaster, Ontario. The show will be entitled "Beauty and the Beast". The image attached is the promotional information for the show. You can click on it to enlarge

May Weddings

Well, the first round of weddings for the season are done. May had freezing cold temperatures and gale force winds. Bridal parties froze, I stressed out because I didn't get the weather I wanted, but in the end it all got done to the best of our abilities. Here are few shots from those weddings. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge them. Thank you to Chantal and Mark, Alanna and Scott, Lisa and James.

Stimulate the Economy by Watching South Park

We all keep hearing about the black cloud that hangs above our head like the Sword of Damocles. Like the news always is it thrives on our thirst for bad news. I want to bring you some good news. We can change the economy!! Yes we can - as U.S. President Obama said.

But I won't go into a long, drawn out explanation on how we can change the economy. I think the solution to the problem was best shown in the South Park Episode called Magaritaville. I will leave you a link where you can watch it. It will take sometime, but it will help you to solve the economic crisis.

Hopefully you have high speed - it's worth the wait!

We Need To Be Happy

I've decided that I'm not going to bore you with stories of just my photography and happenings at the studio. I'm going to start including posts of things that inspire me and have taught me things. I hope you will learn from them to. I would like to hear your thoughts.

Check out this video from comedian Louis CK. With all the doom and gloom that's out there and how sorry we all feel for ourselves, this really puts things in perspective.

Artist's Reception At The Cube Gallery

I'm back from the opening reception for the Water show at the Cube Gallery in Ottawa. Don Monet, the gallery owner, has a great space there and I'm honoured that he allowed me to be a part of this group show. There were some great and amazing art pieces there. I was very fortunate to be in that kind of company. Here are some snaps taken by my great friend Doris.

Babies on the Blog

And in the studio! Had to share a few shots of some of the cuties I have been photographing at the studio lately.
