Fort Henry

On a recent shoot to Kingston, Ontario, I took in the Sunset Ceremony at Fort Henry. The following are images taken within the fort.

 

Tobermory

Spring is in the air and summer is just around the corner.  This image was taken in Tobermory, Ontario.

winding down

I’ve recently returned from almost four weeks on the road photographing the beautiful (and expansive) province of Ontario.  I’m now winding down and sifting through the images.  The shoot was for Ontario Tourism and along with the stills, they commissioned a video crew to shoot some beautiful b-roll footage as well.  This image personally represents that quintessential summer feeling.  It’s a cold Toronto morning out, so it’s fitting that this is my first post from what has become a large Ontario series.

heat wave

For the past week, Torontonians have been finding ways to deal with an intense heat wave.  Although it’s started to return to seasonal temperatures, most people are still trying to beat the heat and cool down, any way they can.  Yonge-Dundas Square in the core of the city offers some willing people -and their pets- a chance to relive the good ol’ days of care-free sprinkler jumping.

don’t pass me by (cont.)

This photo was taken in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario.  Another image to go with my growing series, titled “Don’t Pass Me By…”  You can find the others here and here.

medicine man

Healers come in all forms and from all walks of life. MD’s, Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Medicine Men, Spiritual Healers, this list can go on and on. I’m a strong believer that the healing depends more on the person being healed, rather than the form in which the healer is using.  During some time spent in Morocco, I came across this man who, humbly enough, called himself a Medicine Man.  He would sell his potions, remedies and charms to locals and foreigners alike.  He would say, “whoever believes, can be healed”.  This man brought a magical energy to Djeema El-Fna square in Marrakech.

 

Rome & Religion

I am currently sifting through a backlog of images and projects that I worked on over the last year. I will post selects from each in the following days and weeks.

To get the ball rolling, here are a couple images that were taken while wandering the streets of Rome.

Day of Action

February 29th marked a new ‘Day of Action’ across the European Union.  These images are from the rally held at Puerta del Sol in Madrid, Spain.

cerveca anyone?

A waiter begins setting up tables in Plaza Mayor, Madrid.

It`s for the music…

At first glance it seemed as if he was playing solely to make some extra money.  Though as I continued to watch him, he played his music even when the square was empty.

lamb

With a little support and the turning of a few blind eyes, this lamb gets in a mid day snack before heading back to the farm.

solitude

Every now and then, we all need some time to ourselves.

.trapped.

Photographed in Thailand, India and Morocco, these images are part of a growing series directly related to this visual theme.  The title of this post pretty much sums up my idea for this series.
