I’m up to my neck in photo editing and catching up on the various other things that accumulated while I was away, as well as starting to plan the next steps for my business (excitement!), but instead of talking about that I wanted to share a little video from the weekend. On Sunday I finally made it to the Small Craft Aquatic Centre to go kayaking… the first time all season! And it turns out, it was the last day they were open for the season, so I felt extremely lucky – I’d never been kayaking before moving to Fredericton and it quickly emerged as one of my favourite activities,  so I’m so glad that the year didn’t pass without a trip out on the water.

Among the things I brought back from my trip were a new G12 camera and waterproof case for my off-land adventures, so I was excited to play with that, and I had fun taking plenty of photos of the trip. The camera also shoots video, and I haven’t had a camera that shoots video since 2009, how novel! All this is to say, here’s a little moving picture.

new york city | fredericton photographer | new york, ny

September 1st, 2011

Concrete jungles where dreams are made. I want to be a part of it. The first stop on vacation. 12 hours making the most of our MetroCard and our feet, covering nearly 30 km plus a “harbour tour” on the Staten Island Ferry. Since this was my first time in New York (other than once [...]

 

Concrete jungles where dreams are made. I want to be a part of it. The first stop on vacation. 12 hours making the most of our MetroCard and our feet, covering nearly 30 km plus a “harbour tour” on the Staten Island Ferry. Since this was my first time in New York (other than once in 2005 when I took a Greyhound bus through the city in the middle of the night), we mostly kept to the obvious things, and did lots of sightseeing. (The only stop not pictured is the B&H Photo Video where I spent about an hour and the majority of my allotted budget. Photographers, if you’re visiting NYC and want to stay financially solvent, I suggest skipping it. It’s too awesome.)

Here are some of my favourite images from the day, including my trip on the ferry, various subway trips, Wall Street and Charging Bull, Trinity Churchyard, Ground Zero, The Met, 5th Avenue, Central Park, Strawberry Fields, the Dakota, New York Public Library, Grand Central Terminal, the Empire State Building, and, of course, Times Square. We had a Traditional-with-pepperoni at John’s Pizzeria for dinner, and after getting caught in an epic storm, capped the day with a drink and jazz show at the Village Vanguard.

I slept well that night. Enjoy.

weekend getaway | fredericton photographer | côte-sainte-anne, nb

August 12th, 2011

This past weekend AG and I escaped up to Côte-Sainte-Anne for a restful weekend for a lot of eating, a lot of reading, and not much else. Burrowing my body deep into the sand and my face deep into a book left little time for photography, but here are a few snaps.

roadtrip | new brunswick photographer | moncton, saint john, fundy, nb

July 28th, 2011

This past weekend we went for a roadtrip through southern New Brunswick, picking up friend M at the airport at 8 pm on Friday night and jamming in as many sights as we could fit before dropping her back off at 6 pm on Sunday. Moncton, Shediac, the Fundy Trail Parkway, Saint John, an unplanned [...]

 

This past weekend we went for a roadtrip through southern New Brunswick, picking up friend M at the airport at 8 pm on Friday night and jamming in as many sights as we could fit before dropping her back off at 6 pm on Sunday. Moncton, Shediac, the Fundy Trail Parkway, Saint John, an unplanned detour through St. Stephen and Highway 3 (not pictured), to the Hopewell Rocks. And then for us, back to Fredericton. We’re all drived out, but it was an awesome trip. Here are some pics. (Another post with portraits of M is still to come…)

This weekend I was also playing with a tilt-shift lens I’ve rented, so you might notice some unusual perspectives!

weekend away | fredericton photographer | moncton, nb

July 11th, 2011

I’m at the point in the year where I’m constantly on the go, whether meeting or shooting clients, editing images, answering emails, or trying to remember what my family and friends look like… to say nothing of Mount Laundry. Between that I’m trying to remember to stop and breathe. It’s easy for me to get [...]

 

I’m at the point in the year where I’m constantly on the go, whether meeting or shooting clients, editing images, answering emails, or trying to remember what my family and friends look like… to say nothing of Mount Laundry. Between that I’m trying to remember to stop and breathe. It’s easy for me to get stressed at this time of year, just from the feeling of no matter what I’m doing, I could be doing something more. (Did I answer that email fast enough? Was my smile effortlessly effervescent for the duration of that 10 hour wedding? What new contacts can I make? Am I interacting enough with Facebook and Twitter?) It’s harder for me to remember that I’m only one person, and one person can only do so much. I need to take moments to breathe. To remember that making time for me works out better for everyone in the end.

After Friday’s beautiful wedding, we hit the road to Moncton for the rest of the weekend. I ate a lot, and spent a few silent hours on the beach with a man and a book. Under the cut is what we saw on the way home…
