    Shooting with Cove rider Brian Serneels

    Brian Serneels is another one the talented riders from Ontario who has migrated west. It’s the natural order here it seems.  If they’re good enough, they’re gone.  Makes it challenging for me as a photographer, but I also like the idea of working with these...

    iPad – Flashy, Yet No Flash.

    I am going to throw in my 2 cents on the iPad. Why not, everybody else seems to have an opinion on it. I will start by saying that, like most Apple products, the iPad looks shinny and fun. It seems easy to use and...
