As of yesterday I opted to try a little mobile blogging experiment. The whole typing little mobile blog posts got old after one or two entries and I was left feeling underwhelmed by the desire to patter out micro-statements for that instant-post gratification. In fact it seemed I was posting for the sake [...]

Just out of interest, if you check out the “Scrapbook” page of this year’s (2008) fringe festival, one of my pics of Claire and Lola made it into the website.

I have some other photos there as well, but you can view those as you see fit.

Karin is back at work. Claire spends three days a week at a day home with other kids. We’re closing in on autumn, and as the weather is cooling, the girl’s first birthday is rapidly approaching. And to top it all off I am now officially on flex-time, the calculated management of my [...]

So you are aware… with my role at the Fringe wrapping, I thought I’d dive head first into yet another photography project. Yes, it’s that time again. With Claire’s eleven-month birthday just yesterday I began a new daily photo campaign that can be located in the cool confines of my gallery; click [...]

Much to everyone’s amazement, the little Claire Bear took to camping like her namesake, rooting the bushes for tasty morsels and hibernating until well past seven in the morning — and she put down roots in the wilderness as if she’d been born there. The kid, her dad is pleased to announce, is [...]

Oddly enough, nearly three years after I launched it, the Buggyland project I created on a whim and a lark has come back to visit. (And by visit I simply mean that someone found it and contacted me for clarification on something I wrote — even though it was satirical.) For those who’s never [...]

Sometimes being a parent can be quite a handful. You’d think we’d need to stage this, but no… she just moves so darn fast even the camera can’t catch her.

Either that, or her parents just needed a quiet day at home after a visit to Calgary, including visiting Julia and spending an evening backstage [...]

Matt, Chris and I spent a mis-adventurous couple of hours downtown this afternoon toting the cameras around and trying to take some photos. I’ll spare the details about the dead battery and the wicked rainstorm as this is simply a post to draw your attention to THIS LINK which, when zoomed to the appropriate [...]

So…. quick poll. What’s worse: your dad not only ignoring you, but pausing to take pictures of you as you are miserable and crying — or that he posts them on the Internet for all to see?

Some day I’m sure I’ll have some explaining to do. Until then, well, lets just say the [...]

If you don’t understand the title, let me elaborate by saying that it’s my half-birthday today. Thirty-one point five. How insignificant. But I am marking the non-occasion with a version one-point-five release of a photography project I’ve been sporadically working on over the past six (give or take) years.
Little did I know [...]

We spent the long weekend in Saskatoon. Now I’m trying to catch up. In the meantime, there are stacks of new pictures of both the trip and the post-sunny weekend garden growth in the gallery. Spring pictures are always so colourful.

1) May is the month when most (if not all) traces of snow are gone for the season. This year it has been a little tricky to tell for certain, but in all likelihood by mid-month we will be planting our garden. Mmm…. fresh garden produce. The rhubarb is already emerging.
2) May, as [...]
