Tae Photography

This is a quick little photo I took of Ziggy the dog while I was working over at Flying Camel one morning recently.  Leanne Newman, who is the owner of Flying Camel Advertising & Marketing, has a special place in her heart for pets that need a temporary foster home.  Ziggy is her current foster pet and is apparently loving the attention! What a beautiful & friendly animal and the pattern on her coat is so unique!  I just loved meeting her .

Here’s a little photo I took of an old Brownie camera that I acquired at an antique flea market.  I love collecting old and interesting cameras and although my special interest is in sub-miniature cameras I couldn’t resist buying this one for eight bucks.  Eight bucks!  What a steal.  Hope you like!

Greg McMillan from the Green Hub approached me recently and asked if I would be willing to create some sort of a photo-illustration that would be printed in Your Brant Connection here in Brantford.  So, inspired by some really cool propaganda style posters I had recently seen, I decided to try something different.  I think Greg was a little surprised with what I had come up with because it was completely different from anything I had ever done before.  Nevertheless, I am quite pleased with the result.  Did you see it in the newspaper?   I’d love to hear what you think of it!

Here’s a shot I took up at Joy Bible Camp in Bancroft, Ontario at the crack of dawn this morning. Literally!  I was up at 5:30 and taking photos before my brain had even had a chance to turn on.  And if you knew me you would know I’m not a morning person at all!  So this is quite a feat for me. Sunrise shots are always a surprise.  You never know what you’re going to get until you get out there.  It all depends on the weather and if there’s clouds or not.  This morning there was a bit too many clouds for a really great sunrise shot, but there was at least a nice pink glow that is sometimes rare.  When I came outside and saw the colours I got very excited and snapped off a bunch of different shots around the camp waterfront.  I also really liked how the water reflections added to the interest of the photo too.  I think this may be a winner for the camp brochure or website.  Let me know what you think of it!

This kitchen, that I photographed, was a unique blend of rustic county and sleek modern style.  I particularly liked the look and warmth of the old beams that were used in the ceiling and the textured marble that covered the wall about the stove and provided for a little backsplash above the sink.  Also, check out how deep the window and doorway are.  The walls of this old stone house are very deep and pushed it’s interior designer Andrea Balfour (of Anderson Balfour Kitchen Designs in Mississauga, ON) to come up with creative ways to work in this architectural feature.  The culmination of this kitchen’s details provides an impressive design.
