I have nothing to say today and I thought you might enjoy this tease. Cheers, Sean

Dear ReaderToday is the last of 6 days in “All Over the Map”. Two weekends ago, we’d gone to Banff to visit friends. Sunday, I discovered was running race day, and I continued with the exercise, click without looking through the viewfinder (or use live … Continue readingThe Start

Dear Reader,That would be basic black (and white) – we miss you Arthur. Today is the fifth day of “All Over The Map”. The proposed exercise was to to go out for 7 days in a row and take photos without looking in the viewfinder. … Continue readingBack to Black

Dear Reader,This is the fourth day of “All Over the Map” and the last of 3 days from a hidden gem south of the Hat. Though these images are not ugly ducklings, they are not like the others and not like each other either. Though … Continue readingNot Like The Others

Dear Reader,This is the third day of “All Over the Map” and the second of 3 days from a hidden gem south of the Hat. As we drove towards our destination the light looked hopeful and then doubtful. Under bright blue and dramatic grey lights, … Continue readingA Little Closer

Dear Reader,This is the second day of “All Over the Map” and the first of 3 days from a hidden gem south of the Hat (Medicine Hat). If you promise not to tell tour companies the location, I would be happy to share it with … Continue readingA Hidden Gem

Dear Reader, Well, since the last set of posts I have been all over the photographic map. Some of this has been driven by my online course with David duChemin, and some has been driven by dumb luck and curiosity. In the coming days, beginning … Continue readingAll Over The Photographic Map

Dear Reader, Day 4 of 4Less than a month ago I mentioned a digital view camera that could be mine for less than $US 50K. Last week Fuji announced a new medium format (102 mp) camera that could be mine with a set of lenses … Continue readingMore Crazy Talk

Dear Reader, Day 3 of 4The cart track with the signs that read “Impassible When Wet”, and “This Road is not Maintained in Winter”, gave way to a gravel road. A new set of crows complained loudly that I had stopped, and were obviously fearful … Continue readingWell This Could be Fun

Dear Reader, Day 2 of 4The crows really didn’t want me there. They did their job very well, very loudly, and I didn’t listen. They also made very compelling subjects. Some may find these images technically flawed, and you would not be wrong. On the … Continue readingOh They Were Pissed

Day 1 of 4Mmm, where was I Sunday morning after waking up at 3:47? After the water tower, I found a new road. Actually calling it a road is giving it more credit than it’s due, but it did have a signpost and therefore it … Continue readingGuess Where

Dear Reader, I am glad to be back at work. As per normal for this roving resource / sr. business analyst the field is new, the learning curve is steep, and my brain is mostly certainly engaged. Though my skill set is not vertical specific, … Continue readingLearnin and Workin

Dear Reader (2019-05-12), It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was a time of successes.  It was a time of pain. At long last, spring returned, and the new back deck was open again.  April and I went galivanting … Continue readingSo Much To Say

Dear Reader, Wednesday night I thought there might be potential for mist Thursday morning. When the alarm went off at 4:30 the fog was in my head. Where was I going and why? The fog lifted at 5 and shortly thereafter I was out the … Continue readingToo Late But …

Dear Reader (2019-05-05), I know it has been weighing on your mind – has the OTV series come to an end? Fear not, the raw material for another 2 or 3 images have been sitting on the hard-drive waiting for a grey day. Days where … Continue readingOn The Verge 02
