Had a great time shooting Friday night’s opening Gala of the Lupercalia festival. Here are a few of my favourite shots.
I also had the chance to show some of my photos from the previous year’s festival. You can see some of them in the last photo. I received lots of great feedback.
My local newspaper, The Owen Sound Sun Times, contacted me Friday about doing a story on the photos I took in the old CP building. We got together Saturday for a brief interview and photo session and the story ran today. Here is the link: Keeping a record through a lens.
You can also see the photos from the PPG building here.
I had the pleasure of photographing the inaugural Lupercalia last year. Below is the trailer for this year’s festival. It features a number of my photos.
Exciting news – I am now a prosumer photographer, according to the Canon literature. I just upgraded my camera body from the 40D to the 5D Mark II. If nothing else, it sounds more impressive:)
This is the first photo from the new camera. Figured I might as well throw it into the proverbial fire right away – a dark, decaying building (PPG) with very little light, no tripod, and only 45 minutes to shoot. Haven’t had a chance to look at all the photos yet, but so far, I am very impressed with the camera’s performance.

Still working on the website. The biggest problem is figuring out how to link all of my old blog photos to my posts. I imagine anyone looking through this blog would be pretty confused by the text since, in many cases, it is just one word. Anyway, while I continue to plug away at trying to solve that problem, I am making minor changes to the organization of the site. If anything becomes too confusing, please let me know as I have a tendency to make things too abstract.
Recently uploaded some photos from an expedition to the abandoned CP Rail building in Owen Sound with my friend, Craig Blair, who runs Canon Rumours. You can find them here. Hope you enjoy them.
Until next time.

I’ve been lazy with this website all week. I need to get started, so I am uploading some photos and launching tonight. As you can see below, I managed to import all of the information from my previous blog, Some Good Noise, except for the actual photos. I’m going to keep working on it.
So, Welcome to the new home of Good Noise. I expect that I will be adding or changing things a lot over the next little bit so please make sure you check back from time to time. It’s a lot like me – a work in progress.
And I do hope to begin uploading a daily photo again. Stay tuned.

So, went to upload my photo last night only to learn that my server space is full. Since my term is up and my other website (GoodNoise.ca) is down, I think it is a time to bring my blog and portfolio together. Going to try and do some research this weekend and hopefully will be back up in a week or so. In the meantime, feel free to have a look through my archive by pressing the ‘mosaic’, ‘random’, or ‘previous’ links at the top of the page.
I will also be posting to my facebook and flickr pages. Please feel free to follow me there until I get this all sorted out.

We found the good music.

Today, I officially become the father of a teenager. Happy Birthday to Tyya and good luck to me. She has her father’s fashion sense.

In search of some good music in New Orleans.
