Toronto Zoo - May/07 An alert Leopard
May 2007
I'm really grateful for this shot. This was the first time I went to see the Leopards do something other than sleep! 		  Toronto Zoo - May/07 White Orchids
May 2007
A shot of some of the orchids by the small pond in the butterfly area of the Toronto Zoo.
Toronto Zoo - Mar/07 The great attack bird
March 2007
One of my favourite subjects at the Zoo. I think it's a pretty good shot considering it's through the cage bars. 		  Toronto Zoo - Mar/07 Laid back Lions
March 2007
Ah, to be able to lay back and catch a quick nap in the spring sunshine.
Algonquin Park - Oct/06 A view of Algonquin Park
October 2006
It was an exceptionally beautiful fall day so the family went for a day trip up to the park to see the changing leaves. 		  Oakville - Sept/06 Rainy day in Oakville
September 2006
It was a very windy and rainy day but I still waited until I got a decent shot of the water breaking on the peir.
Old City Hall, Toronto - Aug/06 Toronto's Old City Hall
August 2006
Was out a day of wandering and took this one on a quick whim and against the flow of traffic. 		  Medevil Knights at CNe - Aug/06 Red vs, Green Knight
August 2006
Was out at the CNE with the family and caught a show by the Medievil Knights crew. Not a bad shot considering it was through a fence I thought.
Lions @ Toronto Zoo - Aug/06 King of what he surveys
August 2006
I've always loved lions and really liked how this shot turned out considering I took it quickly though the glass barrier. 		  Polar bear taking a swim - Apr/06 Going for a swim
April 2006
This guy was having a ball swimming in big circles and checking out who was in the window everytime he went by.
3 stooges Lizards - Apr/06 Hey, wiseguys
April 2006
Everytime I see this photo I keep hearing the Three Stooges introduce themselves with their Hello, Hello, Helloooo! 		  Mother and son at lunch - Mar/06 Lunch time with Gorillas
March 2006
A decent long shot of the Zoo's new guy on the lookout at lunchtime.
4 Lions in the Sun - Mar/06 Lions in the Sun
March 2006
In all the times I've been to the Zoo this was the first time I've ever seen the group of them together like this. I was quite happy that day. 		  Putting on a show - Mar/06 Putting on a show
March 2006
This guy was making quite a show of wandering around and roaring every few seconds. I was guessing he wanted to visit the ladies next door :)

Since I was a little kid I've had an interest in photography. Unfortunantly I never really took the initiative to do much with this interest until a few years ago when my son was born and my job had me essentially being the labs unofficially- official photographter. This rekindled interest now has me brining the camera with me whenever we go on family outings in case I can line up a shot with some artistic merit.

Unless otherwise noted the earlier shots were done with a Canon G2 and the later ones with a Digital Rebel.
