Broadway-Lafayette St. station

Ah, the New York City Subway. I admire your efficiency. Snapped this one about two years ago on my last visit to the Big Apple.

Adventures with Tintin

Another throwback from my vacation in Amsterdam last year, a neat (and unintentional) juxtaposition captured on my first afternoon in town.

Tuileries

Another shot taken in Paris whilst playing around with the special effects on my portable camera. This was supposed to give the photo an old-timey feel.

Memorial

Made a quick stop at the new Poppy Plaza in Calgary not long ago … I should definitely make plans to come back and shoot here after dark soon.

Raindrops keep falling on my head

Well, more like the car’s windshield … but you get the idea.
This is from one of our frequent rainfalls earlier this summer.
