The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
That would have been me during a recent trip to beautiful Montreal. With my camera firmly resting on a tripod (Really Right Stuff – you guys rule), aimed up at the monolithic structure that is the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal. And yours truly bent down trying to frame the damn thing. Even with a 24mm lens it barely fit.

Clearing off e-mail and came across this which I sent to myself for post-processing while in Saint John. We were just heading in to a fine local establishment late in the afternoon and I stopped in front of this great looking old building. Low, hard light brought out the texture of the brick and the shadows added to the graphic presentation.
Fortunately my iPhone is always handy.

Enjoying beautiful Kelowna, BC for a company meeting. Equally beautiful weather yesterday as I wandered around the downtown lakefront area. The clouds heading towards us over the mountains threatened to put an end to that right quick.

Back from Saint John after a long week. Trips like this – multiple flights, couple hour timezone difference, business conference – tend to suck the life out of you. Not much breathing room, which is why taking the opportunity to wander and shoot is such a nice break from the action. Particularly when the weather finally breaks the sun delivers such much needed energy. I’m a prairie boy – don’t do well with incessant cloud and rain.
