Rita and I went to Kitsilano beach on Canada Day to watch the fireworks. As it turns out, the fireworks were too far away to take pictures of but the sunset was great! As we were watching the sun go down, a couple of guys started doing acrobatics infront of us, which made for some [...]

I know, I know, I’m 26 days late but I have finally gotten the pictures from our New Years trip to Algonquin Park into the gallery (click images to make them larger).
In case you didn’t read my first post about this, Rita and I decided to do something a little different for New Years this [...]

One of my many life goals is to travel to Antarctica. Every once in a while I peruse the internet to feel a little bit closer to these goals and to dream about the things I hope to do in the future. One company that is making the realization of travel goals easier is G.A.P [...]

There will be no fancy celebration for New Years this year; Rita and I are heading to Algonquin Park to snowshoe the interior instead. This is something I’ve been wanting to do and, this year, things have come together to make it so. We’ve got most of the gear we need (will be renting the [...]

Just under three months ago, one of my Friday Footprint posts was about a company called Eco-Libris. You can read more about them in the previous post, but basically they are a company that offers to help you offset your book purchases by planting trees in developing countries. You simply buy what I like to [...]

Happy Halloween everyone! Here is a cool photo project to try out this year and give memory to your pumpkin’s spooky demise. Set your pumpkin in a stable location and watch as it slowly fades away. Take a picture from the same spot (preferably using a tripod) a couple times a day over the course [...]

Tonight I had the honour of being able to attend a talk by environmental activist and renowned scientist Dr. David Suzuki. It was quite remarkable seeing him up close and personal with him being such an influential person here in Canada and around the world. He was sitting around before his talk signing books and [...]

On October 10, Ontario goes to the polls. Hopefully most of you know that along with the election we are having a referendum. This referendum asks: “Which electoral system should Ontario use to elect members to the provincial legislature?” Your choices are “The existing electoral system (First-Past-the-Post)” or “The alternative electoral system proposed by the [...]

This weekend London is holding their 25th annual balloon festival in Harris Park. I decided to head down yesterday afternoon and get some shots of the event. As it turns out, the sun was blaring and didn’t really allow for great pictures. The bright, bleaching sun along with the dust flying around meant that this [...]

With the efforts of Al Gore, SOS, and performers around the world, this concert is being broadcasted to billions of people. It [...]

I would just like to take a second to say how grateful I am to live in Canada. It is one of the best countries in the world in which to live and although it has its flaws, I (and all other Canadians) are very lucky to live here. When we’re born, it is pretty [...]
