YC – 2010 Tenth Avenue North Keeps it Real

I find that in my travels, many people – including myself at times – put on a mask that disguises what they are feeling.  Often we act socially acceptable instead of how we feel like acting, and while this is a good thing if it prevents violence, it is still a mask.  Honestly, I find [...]

Canon To Do Good In-Camera HDR

It looks like Canon is filing a patent to do some “good” in camera HDR in the near future and they have redone the way HDR is done in order to do this on-the-fly. Typically, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is done by post-processing a few different exposures onto a single image. Canon [...]

Doritos, Viral Videos and Billy Reid

We had a chance to sit down with Billy Reid regarding video creation, how to make them viral and who is staying ahead of the curve.  Aparently, Doritos is a company that gets it.  At the very least, it appears that someone at Doritos has teens that watch Youtube.  Doritos has [...]

First Family Skate

Today was a good day to be a Canadian dad.  I took some time this afternoon to go buy my wife some skates and then we headed down to our “big” pasture so that we could go skating.  This was the first time I’d take my boys (5 years & 7 years) to go skating.  [...]

Winter Inspiration

While winter brings its own beauty, I often find myself uninspired to take out my camera when it gets cold outside.  I was looking through a few of winter pictures that I’d taken last year and hope to get inspired to try out my 300S this winter.  Here in Alberta we are currently sitting under [...]

Ultimate Camera Accessory

I’m a junkie…  It’s an addiction that I can’t put away and unfortunately costs a whole lot.  I’m talking about photography and although you can’t always chase after the latest and the greatest gear, sometimes there comes along a nifty piece of hardware or software that is worth the money.  I recently purchased the onOne [...]

Customer Service Isn’t Dead – Just Hard To Find

Over the past few weeks and even months, I’ve spent a fair bit of time at a couple of stores.  It’s not that I need a bunch of stuff, it’s just that the customer service and knowledgable people at these places are absolutely fantastic.  The first place that I started to hang out as I [...]
