Summer Is In The Air
Five signs that Summer has found Calgary:
1. Flowers bloom and the grass turns from turd brown to a vibrant green.
2. Winter beaters get parked and The Judge is loose on city streets.
3. Mechanics would rather work out in the sun then in the shop so they can work on their tan.
4. The Shells Angels are taking siestas after having too many beers or white wine spritzers or whatever.
5. The used bicycle market becomes over saturated and extremely competitive.

Night Walk feat. The Peace Bridge
Living in downtown has certainly come with its ups and downs. One thing that I do enjoy though is my direct proximity to excellent architecture and subjects for street photography. One thing that I hated about living in the suburbs is that I was never inspired to pick up my camera and snap some photos of my surroundings. Living downtown has re-opened my eyes and I'm constantly on the lookout for subjects to take photos of! Night photo walks are my favourite. The streets are quiet and the city lights up with new perspectives.
Talking about new perspectives, the new Peace Bridge in our city is a definite challenge to photograph. It has been shot to death and finding a new perspective is not easy. I finally decided to give the Peace Bridge a shot one night and packed my 35mm f/1.4L and a tripod in an attempt to see the bridge from a different angle. I laid on my back and my belly. I tried to focus on more obscure sections and even climbed underneath the red beast. The results were good but I'm certain that with some study and recon, I can do a little more.
The proof is in the pudding.. let me know what you think!
And now a little bit of black and white to chill your retinas out after all of that red!
