Mitch for Mayor's Field Trip with Friends

November 27, 2017 in Photography

Some friends played a show this past weekend and I thought it might be a good opportunity to experiment and work on my flash photography. After a few test shots I decided against taking the flash route and decided to work with what was available instead. (The venue decided to keep the house lights on for all three sets, so it worked out.)

Corrupted Fundamentals

I was tempted to swear off flash photography entirely, but I have a feeling The Strobist wouldn't approve and probably would have told me that my problem is a) on-camera flash and b) not dialing in manual flash settings.

The A.R.A.

I don't set out to work with flashes for the majority of my work, so it's certain that my lack of experience translates to the quality of the results I achieve. Something to strive toward.

we trudged through snow
we braved the sudden cold
we took shelter in a frozen valley
we turned hours into seconds
we created another world

Winnipeg - A Limited Engagement

November 04, 2017 in Personal

A week-long, relatively limited visit to Winnipeg in mid-October. Though we didn’t get out much we were able to visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The exhibits—particularly the residential schools installation—garnered a surprisingly strong emotional reaction.

Our only other excursion of note was to Pineridge Hollow, 20 minutes north of the city. An obvious venue for weddings, with rustic decor and a handful of friendly farm animals.
