Canadian adventures 2010...

September was Canada time for me and my lovely Vivienne, and for the first time I decided to take a serious camera with me and document as much as possible, while still having fun and relaxing.
It's taken this long to edit them and sort through it all, but finally the pictures are ready!

I never get over how beautiful it is over there. Everyone raves about British Colombia and Vancouver - for good reason after all the natural beauty there is astounding, but Ontario has it's own rural charm. It's so different from BC - the wide open spaces that just seem to carry on forever, the skies are huge and beautiful, the rolling valley's and dense forests, farm land, fields and fields of corn with red roofed farm buildings...

And Toronto itself is so much fun, it has such a good vibe and full of friendly people (although I have to say beer is expensive!), great places to eat out (my favourite being this place), and of course the CN tower - the world's tallest free standing structure - still amazes me everytime I see it. I love Canada and I love Toronto, and I love Tim Hortons. Oh how I miss it when I come back to the UK!
So, I have taken a selection of the shots I took from my trip and put them up here.  You'll see more on my flikr page, I have tried to spread it out so there is something new to see on each part of my social networking.

Enjoy, and, as this may be my last post before the 25th - Merry Christmas to you all, hope it is great for you!

Detroit Airport!  Diversion after bad weather meant to get to Toronto we went London - JFK - cab to La Guardia - Detroit - Toronto - 23 hour trip in total!  This is a tunnel between the two terminals at Detroit, not only does it change colour, but the whole tunnel is filled with 'forest sounds'.  Kinda crazy for a city that is collapsing around it's own ears...


 That's me.  And it's not a self portrait, but I like it!


 Meet Scruffy and Rags...







Vivienne!

My favourite shot of Viv...

Well, and this one of course!








LAKE Ontario... lake?!













The ROM, an absolutely incredible building!

This is an abandoned ship near Niagara Falls...

    ooops, actually you don't follow my blog....I was already following you, and I guess I rediscovered you! Well, rediscovery is almost as good as initial discovery!

About Me

My photo
I am a London based photographer specialising in music, portraits and commercial photography. I trained in Graphic Design for four years then went on to complete a degree in fashion photography at the London College of Fashion. My passion for photography was spurned from my dad who used to be an extremely talented amateur photographer, he will always be my inspiration for everything I do... I have had work published in a variety of mediums including iD, Time Out, Billboard magazine, The Times, The Guardian, MTV and the BBC, as well as producing campaigns for charities such as Age Concern and Cancer Research UK. I live and breathe the work I do, I'm happy to say I'm an addict to photography and hope never to sober up... you can always expect dedication to the work that I do, so if anyone out there is looking for a photographer to commission -pick me!
