2012

2012 has been a pretty busy year for me. I’ve taken on some different projects which have pushed me in ways I can’t even begin to explain. A highlight of the year was the time spent in Saskatchewan at Beardy’s First Nation with Mr. DeBray’s YETE class (which I’m proud to say will continue through 2013). In the thick of my busiest time for portraits and weddings, I photographed a national campaign for an agency in Toronto which was a great way to discover how my portrait work can fit in a commercial setting. I have a wonderful group of clients, both new and repeats, and I thank them all for the continuing support and referrals. Family, friends, and all of you folks who comment on my blog posts and photos – thank you. When my days are spent cooped-up in my office editing, your voices are the ones that keep encouraging me! JPT…you’re the bee’s knees and the smiling face at the end of my day. Without you, I’m sure I’d be surviving on a well-rounded diet of sour candy and coffee. I’ll sign off with with a giant thanks, and some images of the people and moments I saw this year. The slideshow is set to the music of The Fretless and I felt it was appropriate to use one of their sets since the album was the soundtrack for most of my editing throughout 2012. If you don’t own their album yet, treat yourself and make a resolution to listen to it daily. Thank you and see you in 2013!

That’s right. I’m heading out again. This time of the year I just seem to be home long enough to do laundry and repack. I’m heading to Nova Scotia for portrait sessions and a wedding and will be back in the office on August 8th. Look out lobsters…here I come!Melmerby Beach WeddingsMelmerby Beach Weddings

I met with Ivonne Hernandez for coffee this morning and she gave me a copy of the new album by The Fretless. I hurried home excited to hear it and took a photo of the album to send to Jenna (I’ve recently converted her into a celtic music lover…well I’d like to take credit, but I think she fell in love with The Barra MacNeils easily on her own). She suggested a blog post with some of my CD album photography, so here are a few I had handy…Ben Powell, Ivonne Hernandez & Jeremy Walsh, Michael Grey, Seudan, and The Fretless. It’s always a treat when musicians send you a copy of the album so you can see (but mostly hear) the final product.
