Pocket Couch

Beach, Contrasts, Fun, People

I snapped this photo while taking a walk at Crescent Beach – our favourite go-to place for a nice outing. This is the first time I’ve encountered a Pocket Couch. I took the shot via cell phone, but didn’t realize until post-processing the interesting composition …

Modern Grampa

Kids, People, Portraits

We live in an area which is home to a large Sikh community. Last summer I was involved in photographing our church Kids Camp. I saw this relaxed guy sitting by the playground, observing all the activities and felt compelled to capture this tender moment. I love this image partly because it transcends cultural barriers – just another grampa caring for his granddaughter. I have no idea what he was thinking of me, but I should have at least tried to chat and offer to make a print for him.

House Stain

Fun, Fun Art, Textures-Other

Two of our sons build custom houses – I found this lying on the garage floor amongst the numerous tools. I thought it looked interesting and the caption popped into my head – can you see a bit of boot print? (Note- This is not a reflection of their work habits – haha)

Spring Wall Vines

Contrasts, Fine Art-Nature, Nature-Flora

The exterior southern wall of our school shop has a wall full of these vines … I like the little sticky pads that support the vines on the wall – I think they inspired Spiderman.
