New model, Manon Dallaire...

Manon hails from the Bouctouch area in New Brunswick. She is very new to the modeling industry and honored me by allowing me to be one of the first photographers to take her photograph.

I was very impressed with how easily she took and understood direction.

Here are a few of my favorites from out shoot yesterday...

Local Model, Aundrea Melanson...

I enjoy doing a little bit of portrait photography. In fact it has become one of my main focuses as a photographer.

I've been reaching out to some relatively new models of late. I enjoy the challenge of trying to improve my photography skills as they are trying to improve their modeling skills.

And I think the results have been pretty good over all.

I did a small session with a local model that I met through Facebook. Her name is Aundrea Melanson. Our shoot actually took place on December 7th, 2013.

Here are a few of the photos I got from our meeting.

Internet Hiccup...

Due to some technical issues with my computer and the internet, I experienced some technical difficulty. I lost a few posts and I had neglected to back up my blog in the past month or two... So I am re-writting a couple posts...

Ahhh technology! I love to hate it, and haye to love it.

Nurses Rock...

I made some very good friends in high school... One of them: Vicky,  dropped by today and let me take a few photos of her.

She is studying to be a nurse. And nursing is one of the professions I respect the most. It takes a very special kind of person to be a nurse. And they helped save my life more than once... My Story...

With the memory problems I've been experiencing in the last few years; I though it would be nice to have something to remember Vicki... Just in case my memory fails.

Vicki is planning to leave the province when she graduates because our government is cutting back on nursing. So, good people who have lived here for their whole lives are forced to leave friends and family in New Brunswick to find worl.

High School Hockey, GO ROYALS...

As a child I was an avid hockety player. So much so that at 54 years of agem I still like to supoer the Riverview High School Royals hockey team at least once one in a while...

Unfortunately I don't have the proper lens to capture the images I'd like. But here are a few from tonight's game.

I've always liked playing and watching hockey. And still, I try to get to a game once in a while anyway.
