 The Bannock Burn Bed and Breakfast


 Last week I did some promotional pictures for Bannock Burn B&B . Its located close to the Godrich / Bayfield  region of Ontario . Its run by Sabine Muehlethaler , a lovely and accommodating host .  She also makes a mean breakfast !    The B&B is quiet , relaxing and secluded on a rural road in the middle of farm country . Couldn't get anymore relaxing .  The stone house was built in 1878 . An impressive piece of architecture , with hand cut stone from a local river  .  The rooms are grand , but with a clean modern touch , making me feel right at home .
 Im looking forward to paying a visit again at some point .

Once upon a time , long time ago , in Montreal Quebec Canada I had a zine that me and a friend would self publish . It was called " have you seen this dog " and as a logo we used a half tone picture of a dung beetle . The zine was mainly used to promote a band I had at the time , plus a way to expose some talented writers , poets and artists . Anyway , that logo stayed with me at the start of my photographic career . Recently I decided to resurrect that image for a still life shot .

I have been working on some updated portfolio shots in between gigs . Wanted to add some food shots . Wanted to do some images that incorporate my love for shooting chrome , food and a dash of social messaging . 

O , by the way ... the steak was tasty after the shoot , cooked of course .

Vancouver Island

 A little bit of paradise on Vancouver Island . I try and get out to the Island at least once a year to escape the big smoke ( Toronto ) . A easy going pace , fresh mountain and sea air , no traffic , no line ups !
Normally end up shooting some stock for Corbis or Getty during my stay , but this time something a little different . A continuation of a job that I was working on for Astra Zeneca with John St. agency in Toronto .    A bit last minute , but thanks to Kelli Etheridge I was able to rent her fabulous studio just outside of Nanaimo BC . She was very accommodation and easy going . If you do need a studio rental on Vancouver Island drop her a line . Reasonable rates , nice equipment  and set in a beautiful wooded setting .
Thanks Kelli !!

Patricia

I have worked with the multi-talented Patricia for many years now .  She has to be one of my favorite Models , so easy to work with always energetic and ready for action ! Also being a singer , actor and visionary , she bring so much to her modeling .
O.... and we got to enjoy a cold beer in the sun at the end of the shoot . Sweet ! 

Hudson Bay Company

Ive been shooting for HBC now for well over 10 years . Never posted anything or do I have much ( or any ) in my portfolio from all of those fast passed productions . Love shooting this stuff !! Always work with a great team and ends up being very rewarding work .  Kinda a shame , when it ends up at the bottom of a budgie cage ...
Any way here is a couple shots from the latest flyer .

Savannah Georgia and Saint Augustine fl

I need to get back down to this area of the States to shoot some video . I visit this area frequently . Good weather , nice restaurants , history , architecture , beach , surf and not allot of people . My idea of a great place to go and unwind .
