Sometimes you just got to stop to smell the flowers…

To say the past week was crazy is an understatement. Everyday last week, I was shooting, with the exception of Thursday. I was at the ENDURrun events all week (except Saturday), had a portrait shoot on Friday, and Melissa & Justin’s Wedding on Saturday.

Today, I just had to take a break. Do something for fun. That’s why I decided to take a look at some pictures I took a couple of weeks ago at Vicki’s parents place. Sitting outside, drinking a coffee, I was inspired by the garden there, and had a few ideas in my head. While getting dirty, covered in grass, I took a few shots, uploaded them to my computer and sort of forgot about them.

After breakfast today, I opened up Lightroom (the program we use to organize and edit photos) and Kablow…the pics from a few weeks ago were there. After taking out a couple hydro lines, and getting rid of some spots, I have the pics you see below as well as a few more on Flickr.

About

I always hate these pages. What can I say about me? I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada with my wife Vicki and our cat Zoë and a few fish (who are basically nameless). I work for a company that analyzes the conditions of roads.

I have always liked photography, but have only really been into it for a few years. I am not at all an “artistic” person, but somehow photography and me just got along. Maybe because there is such an “technical” part to it.

I have learned a great deal about photography from various podcasts and I am just hoping to eventually use this as a forum to pass on what I have learned from the other people who are so willing to give their time and knowledge.
