This past December, while in Cuba, we decided rather spur of the moment to visit Santiago de las Vegas, a small town about 30 minutes from Havana. This coincided with the Pilgrimage to Rincon – the feast day of San Lazaro. Interestingly, the pilgrimage is…

While visiting Havana, I had a nice chat with one of the trainers at this small gym. It was a chance encounter as the day was nearly done and the legs were about to give in for the day! He was kind enough to invite…

I had only a short amount of time to snap a few candid images while my wife and I picked up some items. I find supermarkets are great places to practice candid ‘street’ shooting (especially in a city with very cold winter temperatures!). This time,…

With the recent news that the United States has started to renew relations with Cuba came as a thunderous sigh of relief for many, and a bag of mixed emotions for others. The immediate concerns and benefits are clear – on both sides. The introduction of…

A few images from the past several days. A mix of architecture and people. Scenes from the city I call home and a few of the folks who live here. Enjoy the rest of the week ahead!

Even in a situation like this, it’s good to take the camera out of the bag as you might catch something or someone interesting. Mindy (below) was travelling to Thunder Bay, Ontario and was hoping to catch a few rides along the way; she basically…

Three different scenes from three locations around Beijing. The subway, the vendor and the street. I simply love capturing moments like these.

I like seeing people going about their daily lives. Scenes that some might walk by and not think anything about, I like to stop and capture. These big cities are filled with endless opportunities for capturing people just being people. Have a great weekend everyone!

In a city as big as Beijing in a country with a population as massive as China, it can be really fun and interesting watching people. Here in Winnipeg, with our comparatively small population, variety of life can be difficult to capture at times –…

I’m back from another adventure; this time in China! Was an excellent vacation with many new memories made. A few photos from Beijing and Xi’an below. I have a great deal to catch up with as it was not possible to do so while travelling. Over…

A few street portraits and candid moments from this evening. It was a beautiful day and evening – with summer like temperatures and the streets were abuzz with plenty of energy and good spirits! I’ve been a bit scattered these days with a busy schedule and…

Did a quick after work photo walk today, trying to get at least a few minutes on the street before the weather turned bad. Noticed these two chatting on the sidewalk and made my way over, and quickly took the first photo. I liked how…

It was a great day for some street photography / portraiture. I mixed it up a bit with some candid and permission asked photos – something that tends to keep things interesting for me. Also, thanks to everyone who commented and / or visited the…

It has been a rather busy week! Although I didn’t have a lot of time to take photos – between a hectic schedule and the weather still being a bit miserable at times – I still managed to capture a few images I thought were interesting…

Finally! The weather seems to be changing for the better. With that, the streets have come alive! Today’s photo walk was a great with several interesting candid moments and a few street portraits and conversations. Warmth and sunshine really does bring out the positive energy –…

A few candid and permission-asked portraits from the past few days. From the top: 1.Semi-candid photo of Michelle. She saw me coming but didn’t say no as I took the photo. I like that she’s looking away, and not at the camera at all. 2.…

There was a lot to photograph in this small section. I found it rather relaxing watching these birds moving from section to section. Have a great Thursday!

Candid photo of Gary and the reflections just looked interesting to me :) Looks like another cold weekend here, unfortunately. So much for being the first day of spring when it was -30C today! Not sure how much energy I’ll have to get outside and…
