Over The Hills – Part 2 – An aerial winter look at the Banff area
This is a follow up to a collection of summery Banff National Park aerials I posted a few months back. Here’s a glimpse into the wintry heights of the Canadian Rockies. Prints are available for anyone interested – just get in touch! Read more…
Introducing Insta-flection
Portable reflections for your landscape photography.
Us high latitude landscape photographers have all been there…
Having made the most of ice-free, reflective lakes throughout the summer, come November we struggle to find the open water that will mirror those surreal skies and rugged skylines. Instead, we must face the fact that water has turned to matte ice and that reflections are now several months away…
Thankfully, now there’s Insta-flection! Why wait until the spring to shoot reflected scenes when you can do so year-round!? Read more…

This is the latest post of a weekly series meant to highlight some of the fellow photographers who inspire me to get out and make photographs.

This is the second post of this weekly series that will highlight some of the fellow photographers who inspire me. First, a little reminder of what you can expect to find on here…
Each week my intention is to share the work of 3 photographers, including one in my area. I want to highlight the fact that a lot of great photographs are produced in and around the Bow Valley these days. Some of the folks that will end up in this series are already well-known to general public, while others might be flying “under the radar”. Although the fields of adventure and landscape photography are of particular interest to me, I will undoubtedly also mention photographers who explore other branches of our art. You can also expect to find people from a variety of demographics, backgrounds and eras on here. The bottom line is that each of those people gets me excited about photography in one way or another.
Inspiration… Sometimes it takes a little imagination…
“Old Man Jimmy”, Crowfoot Mountain, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
Here we go for this second selection:
1-Brandon T. Brown (Wild Canada Photo)
My local pick this week goes to my friend Brandon Brown, a highly-skilled, passionate, dedicated wildlife photographer. Brandon consistently comes up with fresh takes on the local wildlife. Make sure you check out his work at Wild Canada Photo.
2-Frank Hurley
This Australian photographer’s body of work encompasses both world wars, but the images I find truly mesmerizing are those Hurley took during Shackleton Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The final images he made of their ship, the Endurance, are haunting. It’s mind-boggling to me how he managed to bring back any images from such an ordeal. Here is an interesting site about that journey.
3-Francis Gagnon
A fellow Quebecois… who stayed in Quebec and is really making it happen there. Francis captures the essence of La Belle Province beautifully in his landscape work and has some fantastic images from outside Quebec as well. Check out his work here.
If you share my enthusiasm for these guys too, I’d love to hear from you. Or feel free to send in your suggestions of “inspiring photographers”. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading.
