"It was the most perfectly warm and still summer night in months. ...creatures sparkled a hundred metres under the airship, great schools of them daubing galaxies against the profound black of the sea. Spirals, flukes and arms of luminescence wheeled and coiled as if in thrall to secret music." Alastair Reynolds.

Part 2 of this set in the quiet, foggy evening down at Fisherman's park. The story being that after waiting and waiting, the fated ship that was supposed to return, never made it back to safe harbours. Leaving them alone and just as lost and adrift as the ship they waited for.

“Khouri had never really given much thought to the slowness of light. There was nothing in the universe that moved faster . . . but, as she now saw, it was glacial compared to the speed that would be needed to keep their love alive.” Alastair Reynolds.

Part 1 of playing in the fog last week.

Foggy days are Superior.

Out on the lake, surrounded by fog and all you can see is water. Then a shadow on a horizon looms... then the fog thins and the sharp, rocky shores offer a feint hope of safe harbor. Then the mist blows through, that glimpse dissappears, and you're alone again in the white.

Sometimes, you just need a running start.

During my first fieldwork trip this season on Superior, we were checking the status of some bird colonies in our site and happened across this singular long-tailed duck. Luckily, I had my camera in hand already and was prepared for the take off and got some great photos of it's launch!

Ive had this shot in my mind for a few years now.
A while back, the conditions lined up and made it out to the spot, waited for the lighting to be just right and did some spins!

Love doing these creative shots! Definitely want to do more of this kind of thing. Thank you to Wren Mangelli Hannes Penttinen and Alister Heaney

Feeling like shaking off those winter dregs?

The "Fallout of Winter" Swing Dance event on April 25th, has your cure. The TBay Swing Dance Society is hosting in collaboration with Mark Potvin & Co. a social event to kick of the spring with a bang! 40s-50s rockabilly swing music and themed cocktails? Check. Fallout inspired cosplay contest? Check.
We will have a beginner swing dance lesson (0 experience necessary, but we recommend comfy shoes), a live band (Mark Potvin, Brad Rusnak and Mike Carson) playing a couple sets of swing classics we know and love, and a cosplay contest supported by our Friends at ThunderCon.
And I'm donating a free, half-hour mini shoot to the cosplay contest (for later use).
Event links for more info and tickets are in the comments.
