Kite Flyer

This picture was also taken while in Washington, DC. While walking through the Mall, Shauna and I encountered numerous kite enthusiasts running about and enjoying the higher then high nature of kite flying. It turned out that all these individuals were practicing for the annual kite flying challenge in Washington the upcoming weekend. There we lots of very usual kites in the air (and usual individuals flying them). Lucky for me I was able to capture a couple moments on my camera. Here's just a hint.

Marching Band

Shauna and I went to Washington, DC for a conference in March. While there we ran into a local highschool band setting up for a free show. I really enjoyed their vibrant coloured outfits and "ordered chaos" while they set up. It made for a picture taking frenzy! Here are just some of the pictures I snagged during the event. More DC pictures to come hopefully by this weekend.

Birthday Chicken

I did some product shots for Shauna and while doing so I snagged a photo of Shauna's birthday chicken, which is a felted chicken given to Shauna from her sister. It's super fun and a great conversation piece in our house. Now the world can enjoy too.

Welcome to the Jungle

While back in TO I got to capture my sister's cat in her natural habitat. Sleeping on a blanket, atop the hot tub in the plant-filled solarium. Thought I'd try and capture some jungle-esk photos to give Mish the panther like look.

Around the University

I was in desperate need of a break from data transposing and required a task that was both relaxing and fun, but still stimulating as well (you can only watch so many episodes of Top Gear to step away from school). Lucky for me I brought my camera to school and so I decided to take a venture around the pasture called the University of Saskatchewan. One of my favorite spots on campus is the cow pen. There is something about cows that's intimidating and wonderful at the same time. The cows were in a great mood, bustling around like children in a day care. I even happened on one that smiled for the camera. Although I didn't take too many pictures, it was a good change of pace and made me realize I should do this more often.
