CANADA BLOOMS 2010

Jeff did some media coverage for Canada Blooms 2010 and the images are published in the May/June issue of Windsor Life Magazine.

And here are the published images:

TORONTO, OR, THE CONDOM MACHINE SHOOT

So our friend Greg in Toronto likes to DO THINGS.  Like beach volleyball, or sailing, or hockey, or ride his motorcycle.  Also, taking random pictures.  He also has that picture itch...

(You know, that one thing that you see all the time and every time you see it you think to yourself, "One day I will have my camera and tripod and just the right light and I will shoot this elusive object.  One day."  And yet you still see said object on a semi-regular basis and never have your camera.  And when you are planning to spend an afternoon shooting, you still don't think to yourself, "I should go shoot that thing already," you head for a waterfall, or a factory, or your livingroom instead.  I have lots of these, and yet I never shoot them.)

Anyways, Greg's picture itch is for a sticker-ed and graffiti-ed condom machine and matching hand dryer in a basement of a bar in Toronto.  He wants to blow these up and hang them as art in a funky modern bathroom.  I love the idea!  Unfortunately, it is the men's room, so only Jeff and Greg can participate, while I hang out outside looking lost and perhaps a little strange.  (Who hangs out outside the men's room in a bar in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday?)

Long story short, the shots of the condom machine and hand dryer in question came out pretty neat.  Here's the processing that Jeff and I like the most:

TORONTO - THE REST OF THE DAY

After shooting the condom machine, we wandered around downtown for a bit.  Jeff got an amazing HDR of the skyline, and I shot the details, as usual.

See the whole shoot here.  

SPENCER GORGE - WEBSTER'S FALLS

So, we live, you know, next door to the "City of Waterfalls," we figure that since we've lived here for three years now we'd better get out and actually see some of these waterfalls.  We started with an easy one: Webster's Falls in Spencer Gorge in Dundas.

So, here are a few shots.  Once again, Jeff got some amazing HDR.  Sunset+Waterfall=Good Times!

FACTORY SHOOT (TAKE 2)

A sample of Jeff's HDR images from our Factory Shoot:

FACTORY SHOOT

I work for a furniture manufacturer, and the building we work in is over 100 years old.  It's full of personality, brick walls, wood floors, cool stuff and dust, and we had the opportunity to shoot it in some gorgeous afternoon light after work had finished up for the day.  Check out our full set on Flickr.

SPRING FEVER

In the beautiful weather we had this past weekend, we grabbed our cameras and hit the Centreville Pond with Emma to shoot some of the remnants of winter.  Check out our Spring Fever set on Flickr!
