Went for a truly Canadian outing with the family … spending a Saturday afternoon at a local Sugar Bush and sampling some maple syrup and candy.

It was very pleasing to the senses ….

A few weeks back, on a morning drive to Haliburton to attend an advanced Photoshop workshop at Sir Sandford’s School of Arts, I came across this interesting display.

Always have your camera with you … you never know what you may come across.

“We will all, verily, abide by the Will of God.”

Last fall I had the pleasure of assisting and 2nd shooting for my first Baha’i ceremony. Their photographer was my buddy, James Lee, and their ceremony was in Stratford, Ontario. The Baha’i ceremony was very simple and extremely elegant. It was an outdoor ceremony with a small group in attendance. There was no officiant conducting the ceremony and that is because the Baha’i faith does not have clergy, the local administrative body handles the details of ensuring that all civil and religious marriage requirements are met. The two stand in front of their family and friends and immediately everyone pauses for several minutes of silent prayer. Then a couple of brief readings were performed and lastly Melody and Far only had to say one sentence each; “We will all, verily, abide by the will of God.” Once they each said that statement, they were married.

Being an assistant and second shooter, my time for shooting was selective. Here are a mix of images I captured during the times I was shooting.
