169/365
Shot an engagement shoot today with my photographer friend Olivia.  We met the couple in Vegreville and did a shoot with massive clouds of skeeters attacking in waves.  Thankfully though the clouds cleared and we had a window of time to shoot without rain.  -Randy

78/365
It has been cold lately, but during the day the sun beats winter up a bit and melts some snow.  Soon, we'll be basking in hot sunshine and I'll be venturing outside more for photos!! :) -Randy

~ 30/365 Cold Winter Day ~

Today was a cold day, didn't feel like going outside and exploring, so only went out my front door and shot a quick HDR picture.  Sometimes 365's can be really tough to find a shot that is awesome, I am still pleased with it, even if it's REALLY similar to my previous day 10 pic. :D  Hoping 20 days later people won't remember it as much.

~ Playoffs started awesome ~

I am quite happy THRILLED that the Flyers won, coming back from being down 3-0 vs a talented Penguin team at home is impressive. I am also thrilled that a former Edmonton Oiler scored the game winner vs the Canucks. Good old Dustin Penner puts in a goal that helped the Kings take a 1-0 advantage against the #1 Team in the playoffs. Okay that is enough hockey news. Back to the real world. I am really busy with work, maybe slightly stressed even. But looking forward to the weekend. This has been a VERY short week with all of the things I need to get done. Friday is so close and still a TON to do, so I will keep this blog short and sweet and post a few pics from a quick shoot I did yesterday. Thanks to Joanna Hall and Gabrielle D. for coming out and shooting this model with me. It was windy but still so much fun to be shooting outside.

~ Elk Island Get Away Spring 2011 ~

I have been seeing the weather out and wanting to shoot some nature shots. So yesterday I came home from work, had a bit of a nap then drove out to Elk Island Park for some shooting. I used my 40D and 70D equally. I feel like a little kid again when I am shooting nature pictures. I love it. I really enjoy working with people, but I do love more then anything shooting the beauty of this earth. I feel so connected to God when I am outside, fresh air, beauty all around.

Here are a few of my captures:
