Happy Birthday Mom!

Posted on Mom's 97th Birthday(April 28, 2010). In this photo she is 92 years old.

My Father & Mother circa 1949, originally uploaded by Canadapt.

April 10, 2010 was their 76th wedding anniversary.
The original photograph is a hand painted b&w photo ... Mom is a vibrant 97 year old more clever than ever and Dad passed in March,1990. Cheers to the unknown photographer!

Can't see the forest for the trees

If I was told that I would only be allowed to photograph one subject for my remaining days I think I would pick trees ... they are infinitely varied and profoundly beautiful!

"I am no longer a trophy hunter with a life-list of places to go. There is great beauty in my own backyard and I think learning to photograph the everyday and the ‘mundane’ will make you a better photographer than constantly trying to go to new and exotic locales. Depth comes from immersion and not from a shallow two week whirlwind tour. The best photographs I see are from people that immerse themselves into a location they love. I love Canada, I live in Canada and so I plan to photograph my country. Canada excites me as much as any foreign locale I have been to. Why not know your homeland?"

(Quote from Darwin Wiggett - Canadian Photographer)
