Starting tomorrow, I’ll be away until December 5.
During my absence, I won’t be posting any photos, so those of you subscribing to my email notifications will have a reprieve from, well, from me.
Stay well, and see you soon.

My top 25 photos of 2011.
InspirationEvery year, I try to choose my favourite images.
The process is rather arbitrary, and is heavily influenced by emotional considerations. Weeks later, I often look at my choices and second guess them.
Having said that, these are my favourite 25 photos from the past year.

Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You, enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue…

Film vs. digital.
InspirationNo, not a debate.
In my mind, there is no debate – there is no contest in fact.
When I look at my film shots, they are technically inferior to my digital ones. And most people who view my images always compliment the digital ones over the film ones.
Yet, I prefer my film images. When I look back at the moments I’ve captured, it’s the film shots that speak to me.
They somehow contain more truth.
