Sunset over a Canal
Amsterdam is a beautiful, alluring city. I fell in love with the charming canals, the old architecture and the people. On my last night, I watched the sun setting over a canal and took this photograph.

Prague at night
Old Prague is beautiful. It’s great to walk around, site-see and enjoy the architecture. I really like the effect when you can tell something or someone is in motion. I took some shots of moving objects and people. The image on the left is of tourists wandering around old Prague. The image on the…

2014 Tulip Festival
The Tulip Festival in Noordoostpolder, Holland is breathtaking. You are surrounded by so much beauty that it’s surreal and feels like a fairytale. It’s incredible to see all of the different types of tulips. This was one of my favourite sites in Holland. If you’re visiting during Spring, I recommend stopping by.

Shapes & Shadows at a Playground
I noticed some eye-catching and unique shadows underneath a playground and was interested by the shapes that were created. I wanted to focus on the shapes and shadows and felt that the photos would work better in black & white.

Dogs in and around Toronto
I love capturing the beauty in things that most of us tune out. That’s why I enjoy taking photos of everyday objects. I think that for the most part, you can control shots of landscapes and objects. People and animals are a bit more of a wildcard. Just when you think you’ve set up a…

Black & White Photography: Graffiti and lock
I came across a building with graffiti which caught my eye. It felt abandoned, sad and a bit lonely. I decided to take a wide angled shot to feature the property and the desolate vibe. There was a dumpster close to the property. I found the shapes interesting and chose to take a close up…

Reflections in Puddles Series
I wanted to share more photos that I took of reflections in puddles. I love the surreal, mysterious and dreamy effect that it creates. I used Adobe Photoshop to adjust the levels and the brightness and contrast. I also rotated some of the images for a different perspective.
