Spent most of yesterday shooting with things that go bang instead of click. Even managed to bag some birds. Tonight it’ll be time for some more in the light of the setting sun.]]>

Just moments before the sun peeks over the horizon, a cold winter day (-35°C) can be so very chilling. A view in the opposite direction in my Flickr stream as a part of my 365 project.]]>

I finally got the shots from a gig about a month ago selected and edited… This was probably one of my favorites. I also wrote a blog post about the gig and more pictures are available in our photo gallery, as usual.]]>

Another shot from yesterday’s walk with the dogs. I love how a small gust of wind sprinkled some snow off the birch branches. During these short winter days, practically any small moment of sunlight we get hits the sweet spot of the golden hour.]]>

It’s about time for us to take down the Christmas decorations from our tree so that we can continue our remodeling project, but I had to get at least one snap of the amaryllis with the lights in the background. Hope you all enjoyed the holidays and can start the new year relaxed and reinvigorated!]]>
