Four years ago I stopped writing my blog after taking a job in retail sales. I just grew tired of blogging and the time and effort just did not seam to be worth it. Even though I stopped writing I did continue to shoot everyday and shared those to Instagram, Facebook and other social media sights. <br />
<br />
Tonight I return and plan to blog more regularly. Some will be short and others maybe longer, but I hope they will be interesting.<br />

I am pleased to announce that I have published 2 calendars of my work for 2019. I intend these to be fundraisers for local groups with $5.00 of each sale going to support them. Currently I am raising finds for ATA 4334 (Cool's Robotics club), the Bishop Carroll Music Society and the Cantare Children's choir. If you can't purchase directly from one of these organizations I have set up a PayPal page on my website. After you order I will e-mail you asking which one you would like to support. <br />
<br />
Thank you for your support.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This past month flew by and I realized that this is the first chance I had to really sit down and blog. I started the month teaching for the fast track photography program at SAIT. I was doing my basic lighting class and my wedding photography class and had 19 enthusiastic students. It was a great time and I am know looking forward to teaching again in a few weeks in the night classes.</div>

I also took a job in retail sales with Saneal Cameras in Market Mall. I had been thinking of something to fill my day's as Cool and Luke have become more independent and Cool is now able to watch his brother. I had been thinking about this for a while as teaching in the evening is great but I only have a few mornings where I was teaching at the senior centres. When I saw that Saneal was looking it seemed like a good fit as it is close to my home and they are willing to work with my teaching and shooting schedules. It is also nice as now I am able to have access to all the different cameras and lenses, thus learning about them which helps me when I am talking to students about gear. So far it has been enjoyable and they have been great to work for.</div>

One of the challenges though has been able to not fall of with my photo a day challenge. With some of my day's being very full I have come close, but I am happy to say I have been able to stay with it. Now I will play catch up, once again, with photo's from the last month.</div>

<strong>August 2</strong>. I wanted to try my extension tubes on my 70-200mm lens today. The first shot I have added the extension tube giving the equivalent of 640 mm (with the crop factor of the 7D) to the lens and the 20mm tube. It was hard to hand hold and of course the ant was moving so it was even more of a challenge. I was able to catch it as it stood against the leaf of the sunflower, silhouetted against the white garage door behind. I did do some post processing using snapseed to finish the photo.<br />

While I was walking home I saw some Blue Jays around a feeder in a neighbours yard. This time I used 2x extension tube on the 70-200 to get these nice results.<br />

<strong>August 20</strong>. Playing with bubbles. I set up two softboxes and added gels to each (green on one and orange on the other). I set the camera on a tripod, set the frame rate to 7fps, measured and set the focus at 3 ft. I then waved the bubble wand a few times in between the strobes and fired a burst with each pass. The first has been rotated as I felt it made for a more interesting image with the way the bubbles were stretched.<br />

<strong>August 31</strong>. Sunday self-portrait series No. 35. We had an old mirror that had been weathered in the backyard and had the backing all cracked. I brought it inside to the studio and set my 7D on a tripod and picked an angle where I had the most texture. I used one of my Alien Bees with a small softbox on the ground as my light source. The biggest challenge was to first figure out the focus by taking shoots on manual focus and then nudge it until it was sharp. Then it was to figure out my position to fit with in the frame. It took a couple more try's but I got what I wanted. I then used the OnOne software to add an alternative process Calotype look.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have always felt that it is best to take fewer shots. By this I mean that once you get the image move on to the next, no need to shoot multiple frames. I guess this extends back to my days of film when every frame cost me money. Now in the age of digital to many photographers feel the need for FPS and the rapid fire idea. Now there are situations where this might be necessary, but to me that is mainly at times when the subject is moving at rapid speeds. For most other types of photo's I think patience, waiting for the right light/moment press the shutter and move on is the best approach. For me the example of the previous 4 days of photo's illustrates my point.</div>

<strong>July 24</strong> I was having a down day so I decided to take a long 10km walk along Nose Hill here in Calgary. I just needed to do some thinking and only had my iPhone with me. It was a blustery day and I probably walked past many photographic opportunities as I was not in tune with the surroundings. Near the end of my time on the hill I sat down on a rock to catch my breath. I looked down and saw these wild roses in front of me. Using my body to shadow them from the harsh sun I took one shot with my iPhone and came away with a capture I enjoy.</div>

<strong>July 25</strong> A busy day and as the evening was coming to an end I realized I had not taken my photo for the day. It was then I noticed the lamp that I had picked up years ago sitting there glowing in the corner of the room. Again with the trusty iPhone and I had my photo. The streak was still intact.<br />

<strong>July 26</strong> A very good day for photography. I had not visited the mountains for a long time and an old high school friend's son's wedding brought me out to them. I was honoured to be asked to photograph his wedding as the family ties go way back. While waiting outside the church I noticed this flower with one petal that was pink amongst the orange of the rest of them. Using my iPhone I was able to reach over the mesh fence (to guard against the wildlife) and make this capture.<br />

After the wedding I went in to the Banff town site and went for a walk down the main strip. I saw this store that I had never seen before and of course the name attracted my attention. If you have been reading my blog you know that my oldest son's name is Cool and so I had to record an image.<br />

Of course some of you are wondering where the wedding photo's are. Here are a few of Jean Luc and Kendall that I took the first is near Johnson Lake and I was laying on the ground to show the daisy's and the mountains behind the lovely couple.<br />

<strong>July 27</strong> I found my boys little megaphone sitting on the kitchen table and suddenly had an idea for the 30th image in my Sunday Self-portrait series. I took it down to the studio, set up my Alien Bee with a small Chimera softbox and a 40 degree eggcrate as the light source. I set the 7D on a tripod and knowing I wanted a little movement set the shutter for 2 seconds and the f Stop at 8. The first shot I was able to determine how fast to move my hand to get the movement I wanted. This is the second frame. With the third I realized I could try over and over and would not be able to improve on the second. So I stopped there. This is the way it was out of the camera with only a tiny amount of adjustment for the light on my arm and then the frame added with OnOne's Perfect Photo 7.<br />

As this is my quiet time of year I find that most of my time is spent within a 5 km radius of my home. Usually I will go for a walk and take my camera with me in search of something to photograph. This past week's images are a sample of this.</div>

<strong>July 18.</strong> I found these flowers along the sidewalks of Dalhousie. The first here is the bloom of a milk weed and I framed it tight and to the right to give it some interest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found these purple bell flowers a short distance away and got down low to shoot up at them using a shallow depth of field to throw the fence behind out of focus.<br />

Finally I found this potted plant in the driveway of one of the neighbours. I liked the blue spiky leaves but did not like the background. After downloading from my 7D I brought the photo into my iPhone where I used the app "Smoosh" to manipulate the background till I achieved something I enjoyed.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>July 19.</strong> More flowers from our garden. These little yellow Coreopsis flowers made for a nice subject and I wanted to fill the frame with one while letting some of the others go out of focus in the background to add some depth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then trained the camera on the backside of the orange sunflower in the front garden as I liked the texture and form of the green backing against the warm, smooth petals.<br />

<strong>July 20</strong> Our rabbit friend has returned after disappearing for a while. It seems to have stopped chewing up the garden in favour of the clover we have in the lawn. Although these are shot at 400mm (70-200 with a 2x convertor) he has actually proven to be very tame and is letting us get very close to him now.<br />

My Sunday self-portrait series No. 29. Though it is the day before my birthday I wanted to capture this image shot by the light of the candles for today's image.<br />

<strong>July 21.</strong> Things some times just present themselves to you. the late afternoon sun and a cup sitting on the counter collaborated for these wonderful light and shadow patterns. A quick shot with the iPhone and a little post in Snapseed to finish the photo.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>July 22.</strong> Another found situation. Walking around Crowfoot Crossing as Cool took his guitar lessons I saw this shadow lying in front of me. A quick snap with the iPhone and some processing again with Snapseed achieved the desired results.<br />

I then found this sitting in the parking lot, Batman's new ride. The car was red so I turned it to Black and White and adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the new batmobile.<br />

<strong>July 23.</strong> A longer walk today, down through Varsity and over to Market Mall. I found this poppy flower and bud in one of the gardens along the way.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHa-58d1FCK8Bh-FFlL6Hj81OCFviD3PV9adIxDnrgSTuBCAAXMvz4TQjIf40ZUgaOwoW-bh6xjPVs5TIt6VxyBaN-_5Z5S5B9v6oC_YgAjvJFTFURn4ZUg3eUQLRJLn-ZphyphenhyphenRBhxOME8/s1600/Poppy+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHa-58d1FCK8Bh-FFlL6Hj81OCFviD3PV9adIxDnrgSTuBCAAXMvz4TQjIf40ZUgaOwoW-bh6xjPVs5TIt6VxyBaN-_5Z5S5B9v6oC_YgAjvJFTFURn4ZUg3eUQLRJLn-ZphyphenhyphenRBhxOME8/s1600/Poppy+1.jpg" height="235" width="320" /></a></div>
I later found these two flowers in another front garden and was drawn to them by their strong colour. I especially liked the way the yellow in each flower worked in compliments of the purple or red of their respective bloom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDYqNbjG9AIcztbVn8W52GdPk6i70YmNPtN2e4g4J_VlK21a1QFsaSUEYzTIP655n_NURlioYZA7kzxqCMSaYW82z7-GUXnfnj2xSR-TbSkm-K8kELEjPOIrjdMnASV08NFYenZqsHlI/s1600/Purple+Red+Flowers+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDYqNbjG9AIcztbVn8W52GdPk6i70YmNPtN2e4g4J_VlK21a1QFsaSUEYzTIP655n_NURlioYZA7kzxqCMSaYW82z7-GUXnfnj2xSR-TbSkm-K8kELEjPOIrjdMnASV08NFYenZqsHlI/s1600/Purple+Red+Flowers+1.jpg" height="236" width="320" /></a></div>
As soon as I saw these leaves I knew they would make for a great conversion to Black and White. I loved the swirls in the shape of the leaves and find the tonal range works nicely here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally I came across some construction in the neighbourhood and liked the look of these industrial pieces. The yellow tie down straps caught my eye and after I down loaded the photo's to my computer where I again brought the image back on to the iPhone. I knew Snapseed would give me this look which made the yellow straps pop against the brown of the truck.<br />

This auger on the back of another vehicle with the repeating lines called for me to take it's photo. I framed it corner to corner and also used Snapseed on the iPhone for the post work here.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel that I am a fairly competent photographer and I can technically create most images that can be directed my way. Where I struggle though is in the creativity field. I am constantly amazed by those out there who have a deep imagination and then can execute them. Whether it be in camera or in post I see some incredible photographs and I am inspired to try to push myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In trying to be creative I also try to thing of something I have not seen before. Now this is not easy as the internet has not only shrunk the world but expanded the universe of creativity. It is a good chance that when you come up with an idea someone else has attempt it as well. Still this does not mean one should not experiment and that is what I did with today's photo of the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The concept had come to me after looking at some of the photo's I did in the early spring and I thought I would try it in the summer. For this attempt I waited until I found a dandelion that was perfect and picked it and brought it into the house. I then hung it inside our freezer and then lightly misted it and closed the door. I came back at different times and added layers upon layers. At first I did not think it had worked as it did not get encased the way I envisioned it so I left it for a day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to look closer at it today and thought that it still might work as it did have an interesting look. I closed the door and went and retrieved my camera and added a 20 mm extension tube to the 24-70. I was originally planning to set up in the studio but decided against it as I was afraid that the ice and dandelion were to fragile. I set up the camera on the tripod, then set the ISO to 400. I knew I would need a longer exposure time as I wanted f8 for a little depth of field. I figured I would start at 1/10 sec as I knew I was going to use a flash light as the source to light the dandelion in the freezer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I was all set I quickly opened the door and slid the camera in close and framed up my subject. Taking the flash light I tried about 5 images with the light coming from different directions. I had to work fast as even in the minute that the door was open the ice began to melt. This was the second last shot I captured before I pulled the camera away and closed the door. I was not sure what I had 100% so I misted the dandelion again and left it in case I had to come back and try again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I downloaded the files I took a look at them and I was happy to see that 4 of the 5 images had potential. I chose this one as I liked the light on the stem which none of the others had. I rotated it in photoshop and added the frame with OnOne's Perfect Photo 7. I like the result and will try it again a few times over the course of the summer.</div>

One of the realities of photography is that light and situations can change rapidly. Sometime one has only a few seconds to react. These past two days presented two different challenges, yet in both cases I managed to capture an image I liked.</div>

<strong>July 15</strong>. As I was walking with Luke I noticed the sun setting behind some tall decorative grass. I quickly got down to a low angle with my iPhone and positioned it to get maximum silhouette of the grass. No post processing other than cropping and framing.</div>

<strong>July 16</strong>. The weather has been extremely hot the last few days and we have a south facing yard that gets maximum sun. To keep our plants healthy I try to give them an afternoon watering. While doing so I noticed I had a small visitor. This dragonfly was hovering around the garden and would land on different plants after I watered them. I quickly ran inside and grabbed my Canon 7D. Knowing it would not let me get to close to it I decided to use my 70-200 with a 12mm extension tube to get some additional magnification. I returned outside and started to water the plants again and it returned. I was able to make about 20 exposures before it flew off, the three below are my favourites.<br />

Today I was working outside this morning and found a number of flowers to photograph. I shot this image of a Red Sunflower as well as the ones after the series of the Sunflower. I posted those images to my Instagram feed, however, I held off on this one as I was not entirely satisfied. It was to contrasty and the background to bright.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It clouded over in the afternoon and I thought I would go and try again. I took this one and was not entirely happy with the result. The contrast was a bit better but the flower still to dark for my liking.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought about it a little more and decided to do something I don't usually like to do and that is to add a little fill flash. I adjusted my exposure until the background darkened to a point that I found acceptable. I then share this one to instagram later in the day. Sometimes it is good not to settle and revisit a subject and try again.</div>

Now it's time to once again play proud Papa as my son Cool had a brief appearance on YTV's "The Next Star" premiere broadcast for the season. Although he did not make it in to sing for the judges he was front and centre for moment on TV and also on the front page of their website in the background behind the hosts hand he ran down the line. It is fun when your kids get these experiences.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked up a GoPro Hero 3+ a few months ago and have used it a few times for self-portraits. Now the GoPro is a camera popular with the adventure set and I have not really had a chance to use it in any extreme way. Today though I did use it in one of the ways it was intended and that is in the water. The family wanted to go to the pool and we headed over to Vecova which has a nice pool. Now before I took the camera out I cleared it with the staff as a lot of pools have rules regarding the use of cameras. Fortunately the pool was almost empty as it was the last day of the Calgary Stampede and it was a hot day so I think a lot of others decided to go to the outdoor pools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It took a bit but I was able to get a few good shots and a video. The top image is part of my Sunday self-portrait series which reaches Number 28 today. I made sure I had picked a part of the pool where the light was coming in from the windows and faced into the light. I like the way my hair floats in this image.</div>

I then tried some photo's by sinking to the bottom and having Cool snorkel above me. Unfortunately on a lot of the images he was splashing around to much and there were to many bubbles in front of him. This one though worked out nicely.<br />

I also used it to take this fun family portrait as I pulled Cool, Luke and Lysa around the pool.<br />

I shot this video of me swimming and it was a bit of a challenge to hold the camera ate the same time. I tried to concentrate as I was doing the length to keep the camera facing me as I circled my arms. I think it worked out well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the nice things about shooting for the sheer joy of it one get's to try a variety of subjects. There are day's though when I shoot just a single image and other's when I shoot a number of different items. These last two days show these extremes.</div>

<strong>June 11</strong>. It was one of those day's where things were to busy and I did not think about the day's image until close to the end. I was having a few almonds as a late snack when I figured they might make for an interesting image. I took a small handful and put them on a mirror and trained my Canon 7D on them. I went with a shallow depth of field and liked the way it turned out.</div>

<strong>June 12</strong>. Today's extreme's were numerous. First I used both the iPhone and the DSLR. Second I shot from mid-morning to late evening. Third I went from extreme post processing and then to exactly what the camera captured. Finally I went from extreme close up to extreme distance. The following are the day's results.<br />
<br />
One reason I was so busy yesterday is I was building a new garden in the backyard. I had to move close to 2 cubic yards of soil to fill the area and needless to say I was tired. Today my wife replanted her plants and while I was watering it I saw this rainbow in the mist of the sprinkler. I took a quick iPhone capture of the scene and used snapseed to do the post on the image.<br />

We then headed out to Home Depot where my wife picked up a few new plants to add to the yard. In the early evening sunset I captured these two shots of some of the flowers in the front garden. On this first shot I used live view as I could not look through the 24-70mm lens directly due to having the sun coming directly in to it. I have never used this feature before but found this situation ideally suited to it. This was shot at 200 ISO at f10 and 1/2500 sec. with the camera on a tripod. No post processing was needed other then the frame on this image.<br />

I then trained my 7D on this Lavender flower that my wife picked up to day. Using a 20mm extension tube on the 24-70 I got in close to the flower again using the tripod for stability. The settings were 1/200 sec at f8.0 and 200 ISO. I carefully positioned the closest bloom to have the bright highlights around it and the second flower out of focus in the background. I did a tiny bit of post by adding a slight vignette around the edges and the frame in OnOne's Perfect Photo Suite 7.<br />

The night ended with me waiting until around 10:15 till the super moon appeared in the sky. I walked across the street to the field as I wanted the slight shadows of the tree's to be part of the image. I cropped very little of this frame, mostly off the top and bottom and did no other processing other then the frame. The color of the moon is exactly as the naked eye saw it as the sun had just set so the warm light was reflected off of it's surface.<br />

Thus my day of extreme ends. I hope you enjoyed my musing's.</div>

It can be so easy to miss a day when you are attempting to create on photo every day for as long as you can. Life can be busy with work and family and sometimes the motivation is not always there. I think these are pitfalls everyone encounters especially when one want's to make their images creative. With my up-date yesterday you may have noticed a few more photo's of my boy's and this may have seemed a cop out, but they are a big part of my life and even when I photograph them I try to make the best possible photo under what ever the circumstance.</div>

Since I spent a good part of the day uploading the images it was fairly late that I took the photo for yesterday, <strong>July 9th</strong>. The image bellow was taken at about 10:00 pm after I was cleaning up some of my tools. I was looking at this screwdriver with a Robertson head and thought I could do something interesting with it. I took one of my small mirrors and put it on the floor of the studio and put the screwdriver on top with the handle propped up. I set my Canon &d up on the tripod as I was using just the available light from the overhead lamp and set the ISO at 400, f9 and 0.8 sec shutter speed. I used the 70-200 at 200mm in order to control the angle so I could get the right background reflected in the mirror. I added a white fill card to the side to add some edge light back along the screwdriver. After taking the photo I used OnOne's Perfect Photo SUite 7 to convert to B&W and add the frame.</div>

This morning, <strong>July 10th</strong>, I was up early and decided to take a short walk around the pathways in our nieighbourhood to capture some scenes in the early light. I found this gate and liked how the branches of a near by busk cast a shadow and the X on the edge of the fence and the hardware of the gate added to the composition.<br />

Using my macro tubes I was able to get in close on this flower and show both the shadows and texture of what I called it's tentacles. Shot with the 7D, 24-70 2.8 at 70mm and a 20mm extension tube, ISO 400, 1/125 sec and f9.</div>

I found this rose bud on a bush by the local school. It was kind of hidden in side the very full bush but using the 24-70 at 70mm at 1/125 at f5 with an ISO of 1250 to compensate for the shadow of the school and the slight breeze that was blowing.</div>

While at this bush there was a lot of early morning activities by the bees. I shot about 20 frames as even though it was cooler this am, they were still moving pretty quickly. ISO here was 1600, 1/250 sec at f7.1 with the 20mm extension tube still on my 24-70. I tried some faster speeds and no tube to see if I could get them in flight but this was a challenge and not as successful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been using extension tubes for my macro work for a while now and I feel I have a good grasp of their idiosyncrasies. Today I wanted to photograph the tiny flowers that we have growing in our indoor garden. I decided to use my tripod today as I wanted to get fairly close in and I knew camera shake was going to be a problem. The tubes, though good at getting the magnification, cut down a fair amount of the light moving through the lens. This causes a few challenges. The first is the need to use higher ISO's in order to hand hold at a fast enough shutter speed. Second the extreme magnification also magnifies camera shake thus requiring a tripod to stabilize the camera. Third there is an extremely shallow depth of field. Finally one has to move the camera to help refine the focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These issues are difficult and can be overcome with patience and an understanding of what options one has available. While I have handheld the tubes this has required ISO's in the 3200 range which does affect the sharpness. Today I wanted as much sharpness as I could have so I wanted to stay at 100 ISO. Using a tripod would give me the stability I needed and allow me to work at f22 to get the maximum DOF. Shutter speed was reduced to 0.3 of a second and I used a cable release to trigger the camera. Below are two images of the set up.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the fact that Calgary's growing season is so short my wife decided this year to start her plants inside. We have a nice south facing bay window which is a perfect place for them to grow. We have a lot of variety with peas, beans, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, peanuts, sunflowers and marigolds amongst the mix. Having them inside has afforded me a chance to take a number of photo's as they flower and progress in their growth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the main things is that I must pay attention as the light comes through the window throughout the day. Since it can give different looks as it comes in at different angles I always have to be prepared when it is just right. This evening it was coming in and giving a wonderful backlight on one of the peapods. I went down stairs to grab my camera and I also brought up a small piece of black matt board. This was necessary as the background with the window framing behind would have been very distracting. I carefully positioned the matt board behind making sure it would not block the sunlight and taped it in place. Using the 24-70 I got in as close as the lens would focus to get the framing I wanted. My shooting data for this photo is 400 ISO, f10 and 1/100 sec.. Other than a little burning in on the leaf on the left edge to take down the tone there was no other post involved.</div>

When taking on a challenge like a Photo a Day one starts out just trying not to miss a day in the process. As one progresses and it reaches a point where taking an image is incorporate into our life sometimes we have to add a twist to keep it a challenge. This is why I have chosen to take a self-portrait every Sunday this year. There were a few reasons I have decided to do this. One is to try and unleash some creativity. Two is to record and share how I see myself. Finally it is to see if there would be the same interest of photographs of a middle age male as there are in the photo's by a number of attractive young ladies that are popular on the internet.</div>

So here is image number 20 in the series. Shot with my GoPro Hero3. I used it to record a shot of me outside with my car which I just got back this week after having the transmission replaced.</div>

Even though I may have a set agenda for every Sunday I still try to take other images as well. Though there are days when I only take one photo I normally do a few which I try to share here on my blog. I took this image at my brothers house this evening as we were visiting for my niece's birthday. This flower was on the table in this small glass bottle on top of a pink table cloth. The light coming from the window cast a blue tone on the table cloth which the iPhone accentuated. I felt this was a very funky look and enjoy the result.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is so nice to be back teaching again. Three night's a week at SAIT and Wednesday mornings at the Kerby Centre kept the past 5 days very busy. I don't mind as I have always enjoyed sharing with others and teaching photography has helped me grow both as a person and a photographer. I am so fortunate to have this opportunity as it allows me to meet all levels of photographers and to guide them along in learning not only their equipment but also developing their eye and technique. Although I did get out and shoot a number of images this past week. </div>

<strong>May 13</strong>. I took a quick walk in Nose Hill Park and this view of the pathway and power lines with the prairie clouds rolling in caught my eye. A quick iPhone capture and a little post in snapseed gave me this wonderful look.</div>

<strong>May 14</strong>. It was field trip day with my seniors from the Kerby Centre and we headed down to the Devonian Gardens. I knew I wanted to take a photo of this fountain so I made sure I brought my tripod. Both images are shot with the 7D and the 24-70 f2.8 lens at 100 ISO. The first is shot at f4 and 1/10 sec.</div>

You can see a more smooth look in the water in this second shoot that was done at f22 and 4 seconds. It was fun to show them this technique and to help them learn their equipment.<br />

Walking out of SAIT at 10:00 in the evening I was taken by how blue the sky was at this time of the evening. We get longer days now here in Calgary so I was able to get this nice view of the skyline.</div>

<strong>May 15</strong>. The tulips are close to blooming and I like the sensual look they evoke when they are at this stage. There are in our front garden and I shot at f5.6 to have a shallower depth of field.<br />

<strong>May 16</strong>. An absolute gorgeous evening to go for a walk and I headed out on the pathways of Dalhousie with my camera. I wanted to travel light so I only had my 24-70 with me. When I first spotted this little guy his colour made me think that he had escaped from someone's home. Then I saw a second and realized it was wild. We don't see many colourful birds in the city and I was not sure what it was but after sharing it a number of my friends identified it as a Western Tananger. Although I am fairly happy with the result as this is cropped in a fair amount off the original frame I would like to see if I can spot it again when I have my 70-200 with me.</div>

<strong>May 17</strong>. We are growing a large number of plants in doors as we wait for the weather to stabilize so we can transfer them to the garden. Some of the sunflowers are a couple feet tall already and the buds of the flower are appearing. I used my 24-70 with a 36mm extension tube to capture this macro shot showing the fine hairs on the plant.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today is the start of Nurses Week here in Alberta. This afternoon they held a small gathering down at Calgary's Peace Bridge to hand out coffee and cake. My wife is a dedicated ICU RN and we came down to show our support for these wonderful people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Health care is an important aspect of any society and the nurses are always on the front lines. I know that lots of jurisdictions are struggling to balance budgets and keep services but these are the people who need the support. Lives hang on them and they should not be ignored. I think that most of them really just want fair wages and safe working conditions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know I am proud of my wife and the work that she does. I hope that you never have to be treated by her because that means you are in a critical state. All that I know is that if you do end up in her care or in the care of any of our nurses you will be in fine hands.

This post will bring me up to date with all the photo's of the day. It has been a struggle at times but as you will see with the images here the last couple of weeks have been more productive. There have also been some steps forward in my business direction and this will hopefully move me forward. As you see my photograph's and the stories you will learn more.</div>

<strong>April 30</strong>. A new opportunity is being presented to me as The King Edward School is becoming an Arts Incubator and they are putting out a call for tenants. I attended an information session and I think it could be a good fit. I need to submit a letter of intent this week with the final proposal due in July. This is the push I needed to figure out what I want to do with the Calgary Institute for Photography. I will use this time not only to write the proposal but also develop a business plan and direction. I may not get in but at least it will make me develop a road map. Here is a look at the outside of the school which is currently going under renovation.<br />

<strong>May 6</strong>. This is what life is all about, helping once children's with their dreams. Today it was to audition again for YTV's "The Next Star", a singing reality show for kids under 15. Cool auditioned last year in Calgary and did very well and he is determined to keep going until he is to old or they choose him. He had another great audition this year and you will have to watch YTV starting July 14 to see if he is on it.<br />
<br />
Here he is standing in line as a light snow came down in Edmonton. It was 6:00 am and we were not looking forward to standing in the cold for a few hours. However they were kind enough to open the doors of the Edmonton Expo centre and let everyone in.<br />

<strong>May 9</strong>. Cool wanted to see the Amazing Spider-man 2 so we went to an early show. I took the straw from his collectors cup and used it to create this shot.<br />

<strong>May 10</strong>. I don't get downtown often but the boy's had a dress rehearsal for their concert that evening. While they were at Konx United Church I wandered down the street to the Bow Building. The giant head out front as to be one of the most photographed pieces of public art in the city and it is hard to do something unique. I saw the shadow on the ground and incorporated it into the shot. I then used photoshop to eliminate the busy back ground and snapseed to add the grunge for the effect.<br />

In it's short existence having opened only a little more then a year ago, the Bow Building has become an iconic structure of the Calgary skyline. Many photo's have been taken and I was looking for something a little different. The Family of Man statues form EXPO 67 that stand on the old Board Of Education site proved to be useful in adding another element. I got down as low as I could to capture this photo.<br />

There are also metal cut-outs of horses down by the old court house. I photographed one from a low angle positioning the buildings behind the way I wanted. Using both snapseed and photoshop I created this abstract image.<br />

Sunday self-portrait series No. 19 - The World is Mine. I feel I am starting to get my groove back. A couple of weddings booked, an extra class at SAIT due to a long waitlist and the proposal for the King Edward. Lot's of work ahead but hopefully good progress as well.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many opinions about what is good and what is bad photography. This is an argument that I believe is almost impossible for anyone side to win. Photography as a medium of expression is probably one of the truly democratic forms out there. Through it individuals are able to express themselves however they want. Now not everyone will agree with the images they view and whether they are good or bad, art or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I think we can safely agree that there are certain types of imagery that is offensive to a vast amount of the world population and some of it is illegal. These photo's are where the freedom of rights and expression are not applicable. So these types of images I take from the mix and push them a side. What is left though is part of the greater subjectivity of the medium and thus the viewer of the photo's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Photographers have pushed boundaries, expressed ideas and brought information to the world since it's start. Editors, publishers and curators had great control over what was seen and distributed to the masses. Thus they could control the agenda in any arena around the world. This is no longer the case and with the internet and the proliferation of photographs by millions of people the lines have disappeared. We share with the world and thus images are judged by more people then ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what are the criteria in viewing such work and how and whom makes these choices. We have the purists who believe that an image should be straight, as is and untouched after the pushing of the shutter. At the other end we have those who use and combine multiple images through a variety of means to create works of imagination and wonder. Each side will argue their merits and discount the other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Having been a viewer of millions of photographs myself over the years (yes I spend many hours looking at photographs a day), I have found myself to be more open to all styles. I can appreciate the selfie as an expression for an individual, the beauty of nature and landscape, the wonderment of achievement of the journalistic genre and the imagination of the composite. In each one the creator of the work is expressing themselves and there moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also follow a lot of photographers from around the world, of different culture and religions. Some use their photographs to express their beliefs yet I see most of them sharing what would be considered common human experiences. Family, births, deaths, vacations, work and every day life. Seeing this shows me that it does not matter where a person is from we all are generally the same. Thus for me photography has taken on a different meaning and a way of viewing it. I look at it in the broader scope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One does not necessarily have to agree with or even like every photo shared by individuals the world over. We can critique the composition, the technical and even the importance of the image. These are based by our own personal criteria. The democracy of the photograph though is that everyone can express themselves and share as they see fit and thus open the doors for communication and discussion. Our photo's are our own and should be viewed as our expression of the world around us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Putting the Social back into Social media.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are a lot of attendees at a WPPI conference and this does make it difficult to meet up with people if you have not made prior arrangements to get together. There were a few friends I had intended to meet, but due to schedules we just never seemed to cross paths.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What was fun though was bumping into people whom I follow on Facebook or Instagram. These are interesting as I don't follow a lot of people unless I truly enjoy their work. So it was kind of neat when I met two of them totally by random. The first was Dawn Davis who recognized me first as she was coming to the GraphiStudio booth to do a presentation for them. She recognized my name from my tag and gave me a hug and said thanks for liking her images on Instagram. We chatted for a bit and then went on with our event.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later I spotted Walter van Dusen of Mystic Seminars whom I have been following on IG for a while as well. I went to introduce myself and he spotted me, noticed my name and knew exactly who I was. WE had a nice conversation and his wife took our photo. I said thank you and I look forward to seeing more of his work on-line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These two encounters showed me that if you do want to be noticed by others you have to make your presence felt as well. If you are following someone, let them know through the like button. Otherwise why are they on your feed. I don't have many on my social groups compared to others, but I truly want to see their work and endeavours.</div>

On my return trip to Calgary it was nice to have one of my former students on the flight from Denver to Calgary. Christina had been a student of mine 3 years or so ago and she has been working as a photographer ever since. She also attended the show so we had a good chat about many issues on the way home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the long run I would say I had a good time at this years RFWPPI show and gained more skills both in my photography and my teaching. I am looking forward to share this as I move forward. Socially it was nice and it would have been even greater to have seen a few more of my friends there, but those who I did it was wonderful to chat and catch up. Next time I attend I hope to have a little more time to spend with others and really have a good share of ideas.</div>

The following are the photo's I took during my time in Las Vegas. I did not go overboard as I am not one to shoot a large number of images. I also was looking to create images that are a little different from the 100's of thousands of photo's being taken every day on the strip.</div>

I knew I wanted to do my Sunday Self-portrait on the strip and at 11:00 at night outside of the New York New York resort I used the GoPro to capture this shot with the strip behind me.<br />

Taking stock and getting inspiration.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
At a large conference such as WPPI you will encounter photographers at every level. From the wide eyed 1st time attendee who has just started their career to the seasoned professional. Even those who don't attend make their thoughts be known about the event. The truth is these types of conferences truly are what you make of them. They can be a source of frustration, about equipment that is unobtainable (the tradeshow can do that to you) or the questioning of the abilities of others and how come they are successful.<br />
<br />
For me though I find conferences like this a chance for reflection and inspiration. Yesterday I went and listened to Dane Sanders in the morning and it was one of those talks that makes you take stock. One does not have to agree with every aspect of the speakers talk, but there are always points that can help you if you are willing to listen. At this stage of my life/career I am looking at what direction I want to head and these types of presentations are helpful.<br />
<br />
After the presentation I decided that I need some inspiration and some time away from the show. This is one of the good things about Las Vegas, if you are willing to search it out their are some great galleries to visit. Peter Lik has 4 of them in various casinos and I always like to check them out and be inspired by the large landscape images by this master. Art Wolfe has a gallery as well though I almost missed it as they changed the name since the last time I was here as well as the other photographers involved. It was interesting to see some work by Art that was very different then what he is known for. Finally it was good to see a new addition of Jeff Mitchum and his gallery in the MGM Grand. Seeing this work takes me back to some of my earliest photography work.<br />
<br />
The night was wrapped up by a fine event hosted by Canon Canada with a nice meal and a chance to chat with photographers from home. It is good to see and hear that there are those who are making it work even in these competitive times. Again one can find inspiration in any situation if you just look.<br />
<br />
Today I will be heading home, but I have enough time for another speaker and sometime checking out the competition prints. There will also be time to walk the tradeshow floor one last time. Tomorrow when I am back in Calgary I will share my final thoughts on WPPI as well as the photo's I have taken these past few days.</div>

There was a time when I use to attend events like PhotoPlus in New York and WPPI here in Las Vegas on a regular basis. However being an active father in my boy's lives means I have had to make sacrifices for them, especially as they get older and have more events to attend. Concerts and lessons have had a way of coinciding with these photo shows. This year things can together as this week was free and open and this allowed me to make the decision to attend.<br />
<br />
When you haven't attended a show like WPPI it is easy to see that there are many changes and this holds true as the world of the photographer as the challenges continue to grow. With photography becoming more accessible it is even more important to stay on top of trends and innovations in the industry. What I have enjoyed the most so far in this area is seeing how companies are trying to help by giving us more options to our clients that would not be available to the general public.<br />
<br />
GraphiStudio, whom I use for my albums, introduced a greater variety of product this week. They also have some wonderful innovations in how to show your work and design albums with your clients input. This type of thinking helps one look even more professional and on the cutting edge . This works with both Bridal and family portraits. There are other album and photo labs at the show as well and they all have new ideas to help the photographer. It is at a show like this where you truly get the information and ideas on how it works.<br />
<br />
The other area of change is in technology. Of course the camera manufacturers are here as well and they have the latest products in there lines on display. I try to stay as up to date as I can so I can help students with their cameras when they encounter problems. Yet I am not a salesman so I don't hang around the camera stores keeping up with all the brands. This is why a trade show like this is so effective as I can take some time and see what the companies are doing. One of them is Sony and though I have been aware of the quality of their cameras, I have always had a problem with them and the design of the hot shoe on the cameras. This dates back to the days of Minolta whom Sony purchased to enter the still photography market. The hot shoe was proprietery and thus you could not fit radio triggers on them. So needless to say I was happy to see this has changed and they have returned to a standard hot shoe on the current generation of cameras.<br />
<br />
For all the change though some things stay the same. For me it was encounter old friends whom I have not seen for the last few years. Social media has made it possible to stay in touch, but it is always nicer to sit and have a nice conversation face to face. I was fortunate to bump in to a number of them on the tradeshow floor yesterday.<br />
<br />
It is also great to hear many speakers talking about what they are doing and sharing how to grow ones business. For me it is somewhat refreshing to see that the challenges here are the same as they were 20 years ago when I started. Digital really hasn't effected the industry as much as people think as the problems remain relatively the same. The only difference is that the public has a different understanding of photography and thus some of the expectations have changed. However the business and marketing is still the same and one has to be good at this if one is to be successful.<br />
<br />
Finally it was also nice to hear that everything I teach to my students is still relevant and has not changed. When I hear speakers explain their way of lighting, posing, use of equipment and business practices and I can nod my head in the knowledge that I have been saying the same for years just makes me feel relevant. This is why I came and I am looking forward to Day 2 today.</div>

Why does it always seem that just before you take a trip or short vacation you seem to catch a cold or other illness. That is what I am experiencing as I get set to head to Las Vegas for WPPI. I have been able to do what I need to in taking care of the boy's activities and getting things prepared for three days away from the family. It has been a number of years that I have left them on their own and though I know everything will be fine I want to make sure everything is in place so as to make things easier for them.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I worked at what felt to be half pace I was also looking for something to photograph. I choose this Tea Pot we have as I like the colours and shape. Using a mirror and the 7D I was able to record what I feel is a nice representation.</div>

I am traveling light for this trip with only a back-pack and my camera bag on the flight down. I will be using my iPad to post my blog on my experience's from each day. I don't know if I will be able to post many photo's but I will share my results upon my return. In the mean time you can follow me on Instagram, Facebook and twitter to see posts from my iPhone.</div>
