Veronica.
On those sweltering hot late Summer days the best relief is found frolicking in the cool passage of a picturesque waterfall. Veronica and I hit up Hamilton, Ontario in search of our own private oasis. Upstream from Tiffany Falls we found a fall void of the public fray and captured the mermaid moment before we…

Cali Travelogue Part Nine: Midoil
Driving north on the I-5 from L.A. to Monterey I stumbled into the epic territory of Midoil. Just as its name would suggest, Midoil is the town at the centre of a massive swath of thirsty birds dipping their heads into the earth over and over again to the soundtrack of a steady creaking groan that…

Nature of Things.
The L.A. government has put a budget in place to assist and encourage its citizens to get rid of their water hungry lawns and replace them with drought tolerant California native plant gardens. Beautifully designed landscaping is no longer just for the wealthy with the average rebate running around $6,000. This has given the landscaping…

Erika Abrahamian: Yogi Goddess
She really and truly is though. A yogi goddess, I mean. Erika had me over to shoot her practice. As she gracefully moved into pose after pose I couldn’t suppress my exclamations of wonder. “How are you doing that?!” “What are you doing now?!” etc. However, there is a lot more going on here than…

Viola Gardens.
I had the pleasure of shooting this stellar, permaculture, drought-tolerant, landscape design by Viola Gardens at a Malibu Beach residence today. Viola introduced me to the design philosophy that is permaculture and I’m hooked. The most poetic permaculture lesson I learned was to keep a focus on the edges of things, as it is often in…

NUDE: Subject vs. Object
Adam & Eve committed the original sin when they ate from the tree of knowledge. Their first action after acquiring knowledge was to fashion clothing to cover up with. Until knowledge we were naked. Why with knowledge did we cover up? The fact brings new truth to the old saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” Was it…

Meghan Lindsay.
In the midst of her busy performance schedule playing Amour in Opera Atelier’s production of Gluck’s “Orpheus & Eurydice” at The Elgin Theatre, revered soprano Meghan Lindsay and I managed to carve out some time for a portrait session. We captured Meghan’s strength, her provocative beauty, her capacity for dramaturge, and a particular “je ne sais…

Peggy Kriha Dye II.
I had the pleasure to shoot revered soprano and director of Opera Columbus, Peggy Kriha Dye, last month during her run at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto as Eurydice in Opera Atelier’s performance of Orpheus & Eurydice. This was our second time shooting together, the first being our shoot in the gardens of Versailles last…
