Hey everyone. Today I’ve been archiving images and I came across some photographs I created on a recent trip to Victoria, BC.
I love to go to Victoria. It is such a beautiful island and city. These images were created early in the morning — around 4:00 am, while waiting for the ferry to arrive. After checking in at the port, I had time to kill before the ferry boarded or before any breakfast place opened, so I walked around the city creating photographs. Here are some of them for you all to see.
I wish you could see these images big and up close. They look so good up close. This leaf was on the ground across the street from the grand ‘Empress’ hotel. I really love the colors and textures in this and the shine of the water from the rain. Wow!
And these two images were made while looking in shop windows…
In this window, you can see both what’s inside the building as well as the reflection of what’s behind me on the street — all juxtaposed together. Very cool!
I love abstract images ; the interest is in lines, color, textures and other dynamic elements. The more I’ve taught workshops to photographers and have had to analyze and define my own creative line of thinking in order to explain it to others, the more I’ve realized that when it comes to creating portraits of people, my unique style comes from my love of abstracts — being able to see the abstract shapes and lines in a face or body and then knowing just how to light and compose them into a great image.
With that in mind, I hope you enjoy these.
And until next time America!

bry! I can almost feel the early morning coastal air when I look at that leaf. You’re so right; each image shows your appreciation for the little details and vast knowledge of creating more than just aesthitic images. Even tho they are beautiful, there is much more going on than just pretty pictures. The last one is my favorite of the three, it’s fun to see different things each time I look at it. genious you are.
