MJ Daigle...

I made some good friends when I decided to return to school as an adult, in 2007... One of them dropped in to visit today and allowed me to grab a few photos. I chose a few of my favorites to use here...

Although MJ looks great in color. I really liked how her images looked in black and white.

Gina Louise Leger...

Gina is a local model whom I have worked with in the past. I had a last minute opening in my shooting schedule this week, and Gina volunteered to fill the spot.

Unfortunately, As the shoot approached, I contracted some kind of bug and was less then well when she came over. None-the-less: I managed to get a few nice shots even though I wasn't feeling well and my eyes were bothering me.

Aundrea in black & white...

I was in a monochrome mood this afternoon so I decided to edit a few photos of Aundrea Melanson of whom I was fortunate enought to work with in December of 2013.

Aundrea was a pleasure to work with. She has beautiful red hair and I hesitated to hide it by making these photos black and white. But, in the end, I am quite pleased with the results.

Le Day Dream - Part 2...

A while ago; I made a "Wish List" of some photography related gear upgrades that I'd like to have. Althought I would still love to have those items... I have changed my list to be a bit more "realistic". Although still unlikely in my current life situation... It is more attainable then my original wish list.

I can't decide which of these three lenses would be my first upgrade. However, I would very much like to have any of them.

I chose to go with Tamron lenses because they are much more affordable that the Canon equivalents. Although, the Canon solution may have a better reputation as far as quality goes... The Canon's also tend to have a much higher price point.

Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD - $499.99 (as of today) from Ivan's in Moncton.

Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Macro - $479.99 (as of today) from Ivam's in Moncton.

Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f/2.8 - $849.99 (as of today) from Ivam's in Moncton.

However, I can not sacrifice with the camera body that I want. I can't justify anything less as a suitable upgrade to what I have now. Canon EOS 5D Mark III body only - $3299.99 (as of today) from Ivan's in Moncton.
