Hello and welcome.

What's New
October - I've recently added a Canon 7D camera to my arsenal. Testing is ongoing on but so far, so good. You can have a look in the Canon 7D Initial Images folder below for some sample shots. Canon also recently announced the new 1D Mark IV. No doubt it'll be a dream camera but at a suggested retail price of USD $4,999 (yikes), it will NOT be finding its way into my camera bag in the near future.

I have also established a GUESTBOOK. Please be sure to check it out and leave a comment or two.

August - I am back from a roadtrip to Banff, Jasper and parts around Williams Lake, BC. Although I didn't get shots of big game, other subjects made up for it. I also recently went back to my favorite (ok, only) osprey nest and added some additional shots of the fast growing chick. Have a look in the Recent Work folder.

I've also noticed that my Recent Work folder is a Featured Gallery in the Nature Photography section here on Smugmug. That's kinda cool. Thanks gang.

About My Gear
I exclusively use Canon digital bodies. My lenses are mainly Canon as well although I do have two Tamron lenses. Gear is just that - gear. From time to time I'm asked which manufacturer is better. The answer, of course, is whichever one helps you get the best shot. And that depends not so much on the camera but rather on the person behind it. Consider the work and the equipment of Ansel Adams or Galen Rowell or any of the other great photographers. Get out there and shoot.

About The Files I Have Posted Here
The photographs you find here are examples of what I consider some of my better work. I am still in the process of adding images - so do come back from time to time. If needed, you can reach me here: Bigsquashbuggy[at]yahoo[dot]com

About Photography
Ever wonder why photography seems to be so popular these days. The digital age has certainly inspired many. For me photography is a way to stop time. It's a way to capture a memory or perhaps even a feeling. Some photographs say a little, some say a lot. And perhaps the message doesn't matter some of the time. But when a photograph is done right, when it is done JUST right, it speaks volumes. And that means everything.
