Dear Reader, For Friday, I had set my mind on a drive-about out towards Little Bow Provincial Park. As I left the house I told April I would be 3 to 4 hours. 7 hours later I arrived home with over 2 dozen new locations … Continue readingOn Reconnaissance 02

Dear Reader, I have been busy on multiple photographic tracks. Until a longer post comes along, here is a photo from this past weekend that I particularly like. I found a new road. This image is better bigger. Cheers, Sean
Dear Reader, Well, isn’t it funny how some photos are planned and some are more about chance favouring the prepared mind. Friday evening there was a brief flash of interesting colour in the sky. By the time I had found a safe spot to stop … Continue readingDriving Home
Dear Reader, I revisited a location this morning, because I bungled the previous visit and the light was off. The light wasn’t right either when I first drove by. 1 hour later there was a window in the morning cloud that provided the contrast I … Continue readingBetter This Time
Dear Reader, We have had some great light the past couple of days. But, I have been either working or making mistakes. I do have one from last weekend which I will revisit when the light is a little better. You may have to refresh … Continue readingOn Reconnaissance
Dear Reader, May 2019 meet all your needs, half your wants, and be filled with many smiles. Saturday, I was on a dawn scouting expedition. Maybe the morning would be one of those legendary prairie sunrises. It wasn’t, but I do love our skies, even … Continue readingHappy New Year
Thursday night was let’s photograph murals in the Calgary Beltline as per the map from BUMP (Beltline Urban Murals Project) http://yycbump.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/2018-BUMP-Mural-Map.pdf.

This post comes in 3 parts~ The Photos~ … Continue readingMore Roadside Attractions
Dear Reader, (2018-12-22) Sometime in November, I think it was a post from Dan Jurak, I was reminded of the idea of practising photography. Practice is about learning the tools and techniques of the craft so that when the opportunity for expression arrives, there is … Continue readingA Mannequin, A Friend, and A Model
Dear Reader, I have yet to share this photo from early November. On the Sean scale this is a five. It is a photo I have returned to off and on over the past month or so. I am so very pleased with it. Whether … Continue readingA Rare 5
Dear Reader (2018-12-11), One of the lovely things about Lightroom is that as my skills improve, I have the opportunity to revisit images and make better adjustments. The result is that there are now 5 images in the RA collection. RA-014 is the most recent … Continue readingRA So Far
(2018-11-27) Dear Reader I have been out and about these past 3 weeks or so trying to get one last photo to complete a set of 10 photos in the “Thin Line” series. Winter arrived and has now temporarily departed. The winter photos have a … Continue readingLearning Or Not
(20181104) Dear Reader , I missed the dawn yesterday morning. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. My destination was a provincial park east of High River by about 45 minutes. The road was empty, dark, shrouded in mist, and unfamiliar. Once I had reminded … Continue readingDawn Missed
(20181028) Dear Reader , Here are the 5 that survived from yesterday’s drive out past Elbow Falls with Keith C. It is always a treat to take a drive into this gorgeous country. As per my photographic norms, the image I had in mind was … Continue readingFive Fours
Dear Reader, 2018-10-21 In answer to the question, so, what happened? I can’t really explain. The shutter continues to click and I haven’t felt much like sharing. Yesterday morning, while April slept, I returned to a familiar place with a single capture in mind. Guess … Continue readingAn Alberta Morning
