Just wanted to let everyone know about the Awaken Workshop being held in Toronto on March 20-21, 2010 at the Gladstone Hotel.

There’s a great lineup of speakers, some of the best photographers in Canada.  I’ll be there working behind the scenes, so make sure to say hi.

Here’s a blurb from the official site:


Come down to Toronto’s historic Gladstone Hotel and open your mind to some of Toronto’s most talented portrait and wedding photographers as they share their insights and thought processes with you in a candid and informal manner.

This is a weekend specifically designed to awaken your inner artist and allow you the freedom to become more heart-felt, honest and truthful with your photography.

Commercial Photography | Kitchener-Waterloo

I had the opportunity to do some portraits for a commercial client recently, something I don’t get to do enough of.

The first shot was actually done in a -20 Fahrenheit (not Celsius!!!!!) blast freezer… a little cold to say the least. I couldn’t even tell if my finger was on the shutter button by the end of it.
