The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
This shot was from last summer when I was visiting Nova Scotia. We took a stroll through Halifax’s beautiful public gardens and I went a little crazy with the camera. The gardens are really a perfect place to take photos, with all the lush vibrant colours to capture. With summer already upon us, I suppose I was feeling a…

Despite past trips to various parts of America and the Caribbean, I was happy to finally visit a country with some cultural difference. Don’t get me wrong; Montana is a beautiful tax-free haven for campers and fans of Wrangler jeans, and only in the Bahamas would you expect to yield to “Island Time,” which means…
