Beach birds

Jim — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:04:04 +0000

A trip to Florida provided a great opportunity to see some birds we don’t get to watch in Alberta.

The pelicans are huge, strange birds with striking eyes:

And here is one in flight:

Florida beaches

It was a long, cold winter so we decided to spend a couple weeks in a warmer region. Even though it was cold for Florida, we were still happy with the change in climate and had fun taking pictures.

Nicole who??

The task seemed straight forward – provide a couple simple pictures of store employees for this local retail chain.

One of the stores has two Nicoles, and staff at other locations are often confused about which is which since they rarely get to meet in person.

We took this opportunity to keep up the mystery. They are holding a picture of the other Nicole’s face in front of their own.

The Juggler

I had fun shooting this portrait of one of my associates at McBain Camera:

And no, he can’t really juggle!

Washington DC

A visit to Washington DC this fall gave me a great opportunity to get some stock photographs of one of the most well known cities in the world.

Winter pet portraits

Since we often have snow on the ground for six months, there’s no need to avoid getting pictures done during the winter.

These are an example of the fun we can have with a pet who isn’t afraid of a little snow…

Tarena and Lola

Pets are always interesting to photograph – combine pets and people for an even greater challenge!

We shot Tarena and Lola on the banks of the North Saskatchewan river near downtown to include part of the city skyline.

Scott and Kelly’s music video from their wedding turned out fantastic!
