New Autumn Images

Hello everyone.

Autumn has to be one of my favourite seasons of the year to get out and photograph! The days are shorter (so more sleep for me), temperatures are cooling off, bugs have disappeared for the most part, and nature is putting on a spectacular show. This can also be one of the most unpredictable seasons of the year as you are never quite sure how long it is going to last. Here on the prairies, if you are blessed with some warmer autumn temperatures it usually brings with it wind, and that wind can strip all the beauty off the trees fairly quickly.

The season started pretty early for us this year - about seven to ten days early with cold temperatures that kickstarted the change in colour. Fortunately the leaves held on (even through some crazy windy days) and autumn stuck around for quite some time - well into the end of October which isn't normal at all! This allowed for an unexpected extension of fall shooting and I tried to take advantage of it as much as possible.

Here are some of my favourites from the last two months - hope you enjoy.

Student Show!

Hello everyone.

I know it's been a while since my last post. Things have been busier than ever for me over the fall season and things are now starting to wind down. I had the privilege of teaching the Autumn Colours class at PrairieView School of Photography again this year. The group of students was awesome and it was a blast showing them around the province as we photographed the autumn change. To cap off this class there is a show to show off the wonderful images the students were able to capture. So, if you are looking for something to do this Sunday (November 23rd), why not come out to the school from 1:00-4:00 and take in some of the beautiful artwork on display. It would be great to see you there - should be a fun afternoon!

New Show!

Hey there everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted here… intentions are always good, but it seems time is never on my side. My goal for the fall season is to post more regularly, so we'll see how that goes…

Though time is not on my side for posting here, it is encouraging that I've had some time to go and photograph. I'm excited to announce that I have a new show coming up this fall. Caroline Wintoniw and I are showcasing images from travels both close to home and abroad and it's going to be awesome! It's all new work… only a handful of people have seen anything from this collection. It's hanging for most of the month of September, and the opening is on Friday, September 5th. It would be great if you could find the time to come and check it out!

Hope to see you there.

I'm Having a Show...Again!

Hello all.

I just wanted to put a plug in for my new show coming up in September.  My friend Chris Ford and I are back at it, this time at the Millennium Library in the Blankstein Gallery.  The show will be up from September 3rd until the 30th, with an open house on Thursday, September 5th from 6:30-9:00.



Manitoba is home to a diverse and beautiful range of terrain that encompasses everything from vast prairie skies to rugged Canadian Shield; sandy beaches to lush boreal forests.

Brought together through a common interest in landscape photography, 
Daniel Menheer and Chris Ford have been gathering images throughout our  province for over two years.
  

Their exhibit, entitled “Manitoba Wild“, captures just a hint of the beauty to be experienced here in Manitoba. 

Hope to see you all there!

Spring Tease

I spent an afternoon at my mother-in-law's place the other day and had some fun getting in close with all the flowers that are blooming around her house.  She really does seem to have a green thumb when it comes to plants, and boy did it heighten my desire for spring to come.
