I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. John Burroughs
Ann was one of the models helping us out at the photography workshop, here she sits patiently making notes while we are busy around her studying the light, and the back ground. Pretending that we, the photographers, are not buzzing around her trying to make sure everything is just right. I am with John Burroughs, the days are too short to do all that I want to do, see all I want to see, and read all that is interesting!
Ray-anna, walk in Princess Island Park

Sunday was a great spring day for a walk in Princess Island Park. We had an umbrella on hand just in case it decided to rain, and while it was a little windy, there was no rain. We decided to take the umbrella out of the bag to do a few photos anyway, it added that hit of color we needed. It won’t be long before the grass is green, and the flowers are blooming.
This photo taken in early spring is almost monochromatic except for the bright red umbrella. I think a good use of color to draw attention to the subject.

“Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another. Author Unknown
It’s Monday, and it has been a very busy, very fun, weekend. So much so that I am tired and I wish I could pull the covers over my head and stay tucked into my warm bed. But that is not to be, it is Monday, so like most people, it is off to work I go. Leaving behind the flamenco dancing, the late nights and the great people we met. It is time to dancing through the day with heart; to enjoy and be grateful for all the wonderful things in my life. I hope you Monday is a good one!

Flamenco in Calgary, Fiona Malena

Last night Bill and I went to the Auburn Saloon, featured this weekend Flamenco Music and Dancing. Fiona Malena is the premier dancer and face of Flamenco dancing in Calgary. Bill and I were fortunate to sit with family of one of the performers, which gave us a brief inside look into the community. The performances were wonderful to watch, music lovely to listen to and the warmth and energy in the room amazing. We had such a good time we are tempted to go again to-night.
I had read several reviews of the Auburn Saloon, the venue did not disappoint, it seemed the perfect venue for the show, as it allowed us a close up view of the performance, and a feeling of being part of the action rather than in a theater watching the performance.
Hiroaki Kobayashi, Calgary based photographer

I first met Hiroaki Kobayashi at the Stampede, Western Photo Gallery the summer of 2011, since that time our paths have crossed many times! On Tuesday we were at the Airdrie Studio 35, to participate in a model shoot out! A young model needing some practise modeling, and several photographers take turns working with her in 15 minutes bursts. Between shoots we had a few minutes to chat, and I noticed Hiro standing in front of thet light and grabbed a shot. Of course he moved just as I pressed the shutter, so I made him stand a few more minutes while I got the image I wanted.
Thanks Hiro for your patience! Hiro’s photography can be seen his website Wide Bright Pass Photography I am looking forward to seeing the images he took of the model. I should have some of mine ready tomorrow.
Molly at Nose Creek Park

Yesterday I was helping out with the Calgary Road Runners Cross Country Run in Nose Creek Park. We could not have asked for a better day, and from what I understand it is likely to be the best day in sometime to come. Snow and -20 C temperatures have hit Calgary, and most of Western Canada today.
I was there as one of the course Marshalls, making sure that people found the right pathway, and didn’t get lost, I had a beautiful spot over looking the river and a couple of bridges. Lucky for me there was no wind or this would have been a nasty place to stand. While I was there I had the opportunity to meet, and take a few photos of Molly, a “bird dog” who is carefully and kindly looked after. She is a friendly 2 year old, high energy dog who didn’t like to sit still for long. I was able to grab three while she sat.

I have known Penny for quite some time now, at least casually, through the Running Room, and while I haven’t been running much these days, we have staying in touch. A couple of months ago now Emily arrived onto the family scene. She is a gorgeous little baby, and has been the subject of some portratis posted some time ago. On Saturaday I had the pleasure of doing family pictures for the whole family!
It was a wonderful way to start the weekend, getting to meet and take photos of Penny’s family. I will be posting more family pictures, and portraits of the boys during the week!
