There are some of my favorite photographs. They are in no particular order, and the only common thread amongst them is that I like them.
This was taken at the Hudson's Hope Rodeo in Northeastern BC. in 2007. I used my D200 and 80-200 lens out at the 200 mm setting.

This was done for a liquor store to be used in one of their newspaper ads.
These are just some of the images from August 23 at Fort Normandeau Days at Fort Normandeau located just west of Red Deer on the C&E Trail.

More photos and captions will be added later.

It almost looks peaceful. You would never know that the evening before people were scanning the skys to the west for any sign of a threatened tornado, or that the thunderstorm that did come through left enough hail blanketing the ground that it could have been mistaken for a winter snow storm rather than a summer thunder storm.
Damage from the hail ranged from little, to entire fields laid flat. Just like somebody had just come through with a giant lawnmower. 
Rodeo season is underway, and we are really excited because we are going to be working with Mountview Dodge in Olds to create a high quality gloss commemorative publication featuring rodeos from around Central Alberta.
I’m working on creating a recipe calendar as a fund raising project for a food bank. Here are the photo’s that I have so far. Let me know what you think about them.
This one is one of my all-time favorite food photographs, it’s a simple Lemon Curd tart garnished with a sliced fresh strawberry.
The next image here is another Lemon Curd Tart this time garnished with 
a quartered strawberry and a couple slices of Mango and topped with some fresh basil.
Again, staying with the Lemon Curd Tart we have now topped it with some locally picked wild Saskatoon Berries.
For the next image I’ve chosen to go with wild game, and we have a Bison Steak with jalapeño Butter, baked potato and grilled peppers.
Next is a Roasted Grouse, wrapped in bacon, and accompanied with fresh Morel Mushrooms.
Staying with wild game, we now have a home smoked goose breast on a bed of fresh spring greens.
Switching now to beef, we have a beef stew with a bit of a twist, instead of using beef stock for the cooking liquid we replaced it with a couple of bottles of Hard Apple Cider.
You would think that this luscious looking piece of Lasagna would be carrying on with the idea of beef, but you would be wrong because this lasagna is all vegetarian covered in a rich diary free béchamel sauce.
Staying with the idea of vegetarian we head over to South East Asia for the next dish, its called Vegetable Fried Mae Goreng, or as it is also know Singaporean Noodles.
This dish comes from Spicy Green Restaurant in Prince George, BC, and if you ever find your self in Prince George, you will want to make it a must stop for their South Indian menu.
And this Butter Chicken dish is also from the Spicy Green Restaurant, and quite frankly it is so good, that it’s worth making the trip to Prince George just to eat it. It comes with a big side of rice, Naan Bread, and Papadam.
Well now it’s back to Canada and a standard ham, mushroom, and cheese omelet accompanied by a side salad.
And the final dish in the calendar is another breakfast dish, French Toast made with real day old French Bread soaked in egg custard and then topped with sliced bananas and strawberry’s.
