Teeeeennnnage Dream.

I took this while watching the Arkells in concert at the Ottawa Cisco Bluesfest a few years back.They are a fantastic, fun band to see live. During the concert they did a mash up of one of their songs and "Teenage Dream" which actually ended up sounding pretty decent. The whole crowd loved it.

Latin Rain

This is a fountain in the middle of St.Peter's Square. When I went there were thousands of people there. It was very overwhelming but amazing at the same time. Not being religious it wasn't a spiritual experience but it was a fantastic one that I was very glad to have. 

To War

This is a picture of a statue that is part of the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. It is a monument build in the honor of Vittorio Emanuele. He was the first kind of unified Italy. The entire monument took 14 years to complete.

Here They Fought.

The inside of the brilliant Colosseum. It was stunning and fairly overwhelming to be there.I can't even imagine what it must of been like when the stands were filled.  I can't wait to go back.

Colosseum

Here stands the Colosseum in Rome. A brilliant site to see. If you ever travel to Rome you must come here. Try and beat the crowds though!

Haunted

I carved my tattoo (The Eye of Horus) in my pumpkin, Kyle did some cat ghost/dinosaur carvings that were pretty awesome and Sam did a really cool spider and it's web. We took these in a bathroom where we could get it the darkest.

Rongo

My friend Mike singing at open mic night at The Loft Gastropub.That guy has got some skills.

Kalí óreksi

An amazing Greek salad made at The Loft Gastropub.

Crystal Ball

My friend Heather and I decided to wander around the Legislature and take some pictures. I was able to get some cool shots but it was later in the year and we weren't used to the cold yet so that cut out evening short.

Kisses

Got this awesome shot when I was at the Kiss concert during Bluesfest in Ottawa a few years ago. It was an amazing crowd 50,000 strong and the concert was fantastic.

Electric

I was at The Loft Gastropub for their open mic night. I took this picture while one of the performers was singing and playing guitar. Personally I love the colours in this photograph.

Argiletum

A picture I took in the Roman Forum. The area was packed with people and I am still so thankful I go to go to this wonderful place.

Hercules

My father at the Herc Pull on the 17 Wing Base. Seeing 18 men and women drag this massive plane is quite an impressive site to see.

Nightlights

Though this picture is a little blurry I do still like it. Don and I went out to take some late night pictures. This is of the Human Rights Museum and the Provencher Bridge. Next time I need to bring my tripod. I didn't take into account the shivering factor when I decided to take pics at night, in winter, in Winnipeg

Photograph for a Photograph

My friends Don (in the picture), Sam. and myself went to Fort Whyte to take some pictures. The day was filled with pictures, cold hands, annoying little burs, and some really good times.

A beautiful Christmas decoration that is hanging from a light fixture.


Crystallized Christmas

This is a photo that I took on Christmas day. It was on a window at my dad's house. When I'd initially gone over I didn't have my camera but luckily we went back to my house to drop off the gifts I'd received and I was able to grab my camera and take this photo.
