Happy birthday, Pike!

We call these mail pods. There are a handful of these located in my last neighbourhood. This is my dear friend Pike in a pod. We talked about doing a pod shoot for months. It was legendary.

A celebration

Eid al-Adha, or عيد الأضحى , known as the festival of sacrifices. Celebrations took place last winter in Ottawa with families coming together from all parts of the nation's capital to celebrate with food, music, prayer and, of course, Little Ray's Reptiles.

Better late than never, right?

I've been terrible, I know. Absolutely terrible. So, here come a whole bunch of posts to hopefully give any of my readers (I think I have four or five now!) something to keep them busy for approximately two minutes. I promise to try harder. I promise not to wait two months.

Crazy on the dance floor


I almost forgot about this assignment. Awhile ago, I was contacted by the owner of the Killarney Hotel in Shawville about photos of his bar.
I'd never been there. I didn't know anything about it. So, clearly, when I pictured a quiet little place with the typical older crowd of Shawville drinking beers and playing pool, I was very mistaken.
When I arrived, the place was absolutely bumping. They were also EXTREMELY strict when it came to checking people's age, it was incredible.
I spoke to a group of young guys who were visiting from Wasaga Beach. That's right - a group of college-aged guys visiting Shawville from Wasaga. Seems a bit backwards, doesn't it?
Anyways, it was one crazy night. This ended up being the most fitting shot from the shoot. I was still in total shock, even as I left. The fact I was so severely mistaken about what I was shooting just blew my mind.
