Is there any one who doesn’t absolutely love sunrises and sunsets? Dawn and dusk are the most beautiful times of the day in large part, because of the gorgeous colors that come out. I’m also always awed by the majesty of nature as well and watching the sun rise and fall is one of the…

The Saskatoon Fringe is officially over for another year. This was, of course, my second time as a pop-up busker on the street. I had 11 sets but was only able to hit 10 of those due to a combination of health and weather. I brought my camera with me on a few days to…

Since it’s raining today, I thought I’d share some happy little flowers with everyone. We can all use a little Friday pick me up, right?! This is also a chance to see the start of my new direction. Or old direction since macro flower photography was one of my very first inspirations!

This year has been pretty quiet for me from a photography point of view. Musically, however, I’ve been quite busy. In July, I performed at the annual Downtown Sidewalk Sale in Saskatoon. Ninety minute sets in 30C heat was a killer but overall, it was a lot of fun. This month, I busked at the…

Originally posted on June 19, 2024 This past Saturday, June 15, was the Motorcycle Ride For Dad in Saskatoon. This event has been held annually across Canada since 2000 to raise money for prostate cancer research. The Saskatoon ride is quite an adventure starting at the Western Development Museum on Lorne Avenue and heading north…
