However the weather conditions presented an opportunity to stay indoors and catch up on the Camera RAW self-study I was supposed to do in late November/early December.

If you were here yesterday, you would have seen the photos from the 2008 Lean Sensei Christmas Cruise but since it was such a long post, I decided instead to put a link to the photos on Facebook and include a few words here.

This evening I was the “official” photographer on one of Vancouver’s Carol Ships which hosted the annual Lean Sensei Christmas Party. My brother-in-law, David is the original Lean Sensei and this is the second cruise where he has asked me to take photos for his company. What a difference a few months makes as these [...]

I was sitting having my breakfast this morning and as usual, I was on the computer and listening to the news on the television. Something made me lift my head and turn towards the window where I saw this beautiful sunrise. I grabbed my G9 and fired off several shots before the light changed and [...]

BEFORE AFTER This is my Action Learning Group which we affectionately call “The Joy of Sox”. Over the past year we met in Ottawa on a regular basis to help each other find solutions to some of the challenges at work. This photo was taken at our end-of-year lunch yesterday. Although I did not take [...]
