Hillary...

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a beautiful young lady, who is quite new to the modeling scene...

Hillary Leblanc is a very beautiful and a very nice young lady and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to any photographer, MUA, or stylist that is looking for some new talent.

It was a very dificult choice, but I selected a few of my favorite images from our session to show on my Website. Here they are...

Brittany Ann...

I had the opportunity to shoot another new(ish) young model in the greater Moncton area today.

Brittany is a music lover and thought it might be interesting to inlude her headphones in a few of the photos...

I was fortunate enough to work with her again today.

I chose a few of my favorites from the day's shooting tp share.

Now even further out of my grasp...

Those of you who know me are likely aware that I aspire to be a professional photographer. And, although I am well on my way to accomplishing that goal, I am still working towards it and trying to improving as I go.

I've been working wtth cameras for many years now and have pretty much always been an artist.

Today, I noticed that the camera that is at the top  of my wishlist was upgraded and the latest model is a significant improvement over what I currently have. Unfortunately, the $4000 (for the body alone) puts it even further out of my reach.

I will make due with what I have of course.... But damn, I wish I wasn't poor!  lol

Maybe one day, it will be within mt grasp....



A few years back, I published a "wish list" including some of the photographu gear I would like to have.

Today, the camera body on that list was upgraded. But, otherwise The list remains the same. Here is a link to my original "wish list".

While you are here, please visit my photo Web site.

Addiction...

Throughout my life, I've faced a few ups and downs.

One of the low points was my battle with Cancer in 1983 and the side effects of which I am still trying to cope with.

Over the years, art has always been part of my life. Whether it was painting, drawing, playing music, or capturing photos... I guess you could say I am addicted to art.

Another of my lifelong addictions, involves caffeine. In particular, Coka Cola. I used to drink 2-4 litres of the stuff every day. And, I have always been partial to junk food and sweets. So, I wasn't really surprises a few years ago when I was diagnosed with Diabetes.

Although I have cut back my caffeine intake  considerably; I still drink a few cans of Coke Zero (sugar free) per day. Another addiction that I can't defeat...

The point? Well, I had yet another young model cancel on me with very short notice.

I like to support models who are new to the industry.... But, I must say, last minute cancelations and no shows make me wonder....

Anyway, I took a shot of one of my addictions today...   The model didn't move much.... But still...

I am still trying to kick this habit.... But hey, I have never acquired a taste for coffee.
