Steemit, it's been a crazy month for me because there's big news on the home front. My wife is 38 weeks pregnant with kid #2 and we're both super exited and nervous at the same time. I'm busy at work,

Back in the day, I used to participate in events with a local model school. They were called BYOB which stood for Bring Your Own Book. Essentially, it was a way for graduating hair stylists, makeup artists

I was once invited over to the house of a cookbook author to take photos of her food for an article in a local magazine. The house was located in the middle of farms and vineyards about 45 min out of

Sometimes it really pays to out yourself out there. I once got a job as a regular contributor to a local news blog and it allowed me to get access to pretty neat events - all for free. This event was called

A quick stop on the side of the road during sunrise yielded this neat little photo. Hope you like it! Image Metadata ParameterSetting CameraCanon 40D LensCanon EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 IS Zoom24mm Aperturef/2.8

The Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo is truly a photographer's delight. If it seems like a ton of seafood travels through this place, it's true. Over 2000 tons of seafood are handled here on a daily basis!

Another image from a trip I took in New Zealand. You really get to experience every different kind of landscape and weather while there. This portion of the trip was cool as we darted in and out of the

Driving along the south island of New Zealand, we drove past this unusual patch of frost and just had to turn the vehicle around. Some would call the frost horse-shaped... I'll let the picture speak for

Although I can't take the credit for the original idea of this shot, this exact photo was shot by me and my classmates during a photography class. It took a little bit of experimentation and adjustment

Here's another epic shot from that one time that pretty much shaped my photographic career (link here: I always like to revisit this shot to see where it all started and it reminds me of how far I've come.

Sorry Steemit. It's been a long week at work and I've been doing 11 hour days in meetings and with my best friend Microsoft Excel. Thus, I haven't been posting as much as I have wanted to. Even then, I'm

Meiji Jingu located in Tokyo, Japan, is truly a wonder to walk through on any given day. The large gates, temples and places of worship are distributed all over this greenspace and makes for a good afternoon

The terminal station to the Skytrain Millenium Line in Vancouver, Canada. I took this photo as part of a photography assignment for a photo class and it still stands as one of my favourite cityscape images

It pays sometimes to be an morning person. For this 7 am shot, I had to get up at like 5 am to make it out here. I was on assignment for a local magazine to get photographs about a story about a person's

So my wife and I do cake smash photos with toddlers and amazingly, this was taken in the middle of our living room (what you don't see is the TV behind the backdrop and the kitchen to the right). My wife

Back in the day when HDR (High Dynamic Range) was the rage, I experimented with combining bracketed exposures. If you don't know what that means, it's essentially the process of taking an underexposed,

If you've been on Steemit for at least a week, you've probably noticed something that something is a little off. I mean, this is supposed to be a platform where great, original content is created, found,

A number of years ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to go on a business trip to Edinburgh to support a local technology company in some engineering work. This was a fantastic time to roam around the
