A few years ago I found the cherry blossoms near UofT offered a nice juxtaposition of nature and man-made structures. It was a nice change to photograph the beauty of the flowers in a more urban environment. What was the most exciting is that I spotted and managed to capture the elusive @arjsun that day too! .

Announcement! . I’m thrilled to announce I’ve been asked to become a Nikon ambassador (Canada)! Ever since I picked up my first Nikon camera—F80—I’ve marvelled at how photography can capture any moment in time (even if I did have to wait a week for the film to develop). . I have always been inspired by the original Nikon Canada ambassadors and now the current ones too, so it goes without saying that I am truly humbled and honoured to be alongside them now as I start a new chapter. . I had always wanted to take photos that inspire my viewers just like how I was inspired by the ambassadors, so I’m truly thankful for Nikon Canada’s support in my work, and the opportunity to inspire everyone with my photos. . And as always, thank you to everyone here for continuing to come back to see my photos, and for all the comments, feedback, and messages! I read them all and always value your support in my work. .

Is there any wonder why you shouldn’t love winter photography? Take snow for example. It’s everywhere. And if you look at it in the right light and location, you’ll see a number of interesting patterns and textures emerge right in front of your eyes! . All of these shots were taken at a snowbank right beside a building! Who would have thought a picture of snow would look great hung on a wall?! Next time you’re out with a camera, go look for some snow and see if you can get something interesting like this. .

This time two years ago I took a walk along the lakeshore and took some pictures of rocks and trees. . It’s the details and scenery that we tend to just walk by that attracts my attention. Next time you’re out, try and find the less observed parts of the neighbourhood and see how best you can take their photos. .

Today I take you to a provincial park that I wish I could get to more easily. I took these several years ago at Arrowhead Provincial Park where we took to the hiking trails and ice skating trail. . It’s a great breath of fresh air out there. Have you been there before? .

Happy winter solstice! With overcast weather these days it hasn’t been great for sunrises, which is unfortunate since they will be getting earlier and earlier from now on. . So here’s one from a few weeks ago where the city and nature are evenly shown in the frame. . I hope everyone has a safe holiday season this year and please take care of yourself and those around you. . Be well. .

Taken earlier in the autumn season when I had a moment to walk around Humber Bay Park and enjoy the scenery around me.

The best seat in the house...is under the tree, where the sun is shining! . The sunlight was peaking through the trees and lighting up only part of this tree here, keeping the bench in the shadows. .

Autumn colours shine bright in the early morning sun. If you haven’t walked through any parks in Toronto yet, this weekend is your best time to do so before all the leaves fall to the ground.
