Simplicity

First off I want to say Thank you to the owners of Catwalk Salon for letting me on their roof. If they didn't say yes, tell me to climb at my own risk I would not be able to get the shots I needed to get this image completed.

This image was still a tough one to compose as I was still about 30 feet below and about 40 feet at a different angle from the original shot. It's too bad the Sherlock Building is long gone as this was the spot I needed to be, however, the Catwalk Salon was just as good and got me high enough to use my PS skills. The image still needed to be tweaked and skewed to get it at the right angle.

I like this image cause it speaks volumes for how the urban landscape has changed. The iconic Canada Post Officer Building is about the only building still standing. The old church has been replaced by the Telus building and the buildings along 7th Street have encompassed the whole block. It was nice to see a building in the old photo using the space where the Atrium Building has stood for all these years. Its a shame this old building was torn down to be replaced by 4 levels of concrete which has not given back to Lethbridge's economy.

More images to come.

Lethbridge Corn Maze

A special thank you to the great family who runs the Lethbridge Corn Maze north of Park Lake Alberta. This is really a unique place. Living in Lethbridge for years I never really took note until a photography shoot required something different. The family who runs this farm were the most friendly people I have ever met. I can not say thank you enough for letting me come onto their property and take the photos I needed. If you have a free moment its a great spot to take the family and get away from the noisy city life.

Here is a little info on the Lethbridge Corn Maze:

In 2000 Theo & Esther Slingerland started the 1st Cornmaze in Alberta on the RobinPick Berry Farm north of Lethbridge. Every year Theo designs a new Cornmaze and carves it into the Cornfield. Over the years the Slingerlands added a kids maze, petting zoo, picnic shelters, hayrides, a cow train, pumpkins, a pumpkin slingshot, a bale maze and a playground.

Fall is upon us.

Is it me or does it seem the summer just flew by with out anyone noticing. Now the cool crisp air greets us when we awake up in the morning and we are wearing sweaters and long sleeves. Don't get me wrong I love fall and winter but nothing is better than seeing everything change in color. It's like when you were a kid and had a color wheel with all the shades of colors. Fall is a great time to look at all the shades of yellows and reds. My last two photography shoots were full of color and light. Its amazing how the sun in the morning and evening time emphasizes these colors. Hopefully we will be able to get a few more weeks to enjoy color wheel of fall.
