A Splendid Suitcase

I needed to test out some new equipment that was given to me tonight, (thanks Steve Elphick!!) and I had to take a photo with this awesome suitcase I borrowed from my aunt. Cheers!

A Nighthawk's flight east

To make our 29th year a more memorable one, we decided to go on a trip out East to the Cabot Trail & back... on our little Nighthawk motorcycle we bought in July. I was "allowed" to bring my cameras, which is a big deal, when you're trying to keep your baggage load to under a certain minimal weight & you're planning on camping as well. But yes, my camera had a place on honour in the tank bag, and hence I am able to give you a small taste of our fantastic journey.

- The bike doesn't look so small here, eh?

- Take from one of the lookouts on the Cabot Trail. The views are spectacular!

- Inside a church in Quebec, but it gave me more of a feel of the Maritimes

- In Lunnenberg, the home of the Bluenose

- The Hopewell Rocks, Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

- on Cape Breton Island

- in New Brunswick

- the site of the "Battle of the Windmill" (yes the lighthouse is a converted windmill), a few km east of Prescott, Ontario

Sweetness

I got some sweet photos of my second cousin yesterday!

Blurry vision

In the last while, I have spent many hours gazing at alcohol... :) As many of you know, I do lots of freelance work- assisting and retouching- for Toronto photographer Michael Mahovlich. Of the many kinds of jobs we do, I quite enjoy working on bottle shots for the LCBO. Although I don't take the photos, I get to do quite a lot for their prep & post production. This summer, I finally saw some shots published where I can say for sure- these are our shots! You can see the LCBO's full "Totally Tikki" brochure with recipes from their website here.
We did all of the cut-out bottle shots (not the food/cocktail shots, although they're fantastic as well). Here are some screenshots from LCBO's brochure:
