Stats

I decided to take a look at some of my stats on my website today, and for interest sake, see what countries are viewing it - I was shocked: If it's hard to see here it reads like this: Canada 13376, US 1586, Netherlands 94, Spain 93, South Korea 62, Great Britain 68, Russia 3, Germany 3, Japan 1, Molaysia 71, France 71, and New Zealand 71. That's pretty cool!

While my daughter is busy submitting her entries to TVO kids to try and win a family pass to see The Sound Of Music in Toronto, I figured I would enter a contest put on by one of my well respected photographers. I didn't figure there was enough time to print the pictures properly, and then have them shipped down to Indianapolis in time for the closing date. So I came up with the idea to use Mpix, a well referred site by big names in the photography industry. I uploaded my pictures, chose the plain white border, included my back printing, and I no longer need to stress over time constraints, my shipped order will arrive in lots of time! Now...If I win...first of all I would be thrilled to be able to say I won a contest with Michael Andrew, and secondly, the prize would be WELL used! Excited? Absolutely!!!

Thomas & Laurie

Their Big Day Arrived! And it was a 90% chance of rain - guess what? It rained - but we were still able to sneak in some outdoor shots when there was a brief break in the rain, after the pictures were finished - it dumped! Our little Amy and Bradley were part of the wedding party as ring barer and flower girl - I was so proud of them - they did excellent - and I'm not exaggerating! Clare O'Riely, my second shooter for today did an excellent job getting in for the shots and really making connection with the wedding party - thanks Clare - you were Great!

Mr. Muscles!

Believe it or not this was probably the most active, strong little man I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. Literally days old...and he can roll over! I had a wonderful time with this little family today, and found out that an announcement I had made for someone was posted on the wall at New Vic and they tracked me down through my "capturedinnocence.ca" markings on the bottom - hmmmm - now I'm curious who's baby that is!

Thedford Funion Days!

My Flying Little Man! No Fear!!
The last one was taken in the hall were the Thedford Firemen where getting prepared to serve their town a yummy meal. My partner photographer and adorable little girl - Amy helped me prepare this shot, simply taken in the hall with a single bounce flash.

Yes - I took a lot of pictures today, and yes some people believe I have a second body - canon no doubt! But I enjoy trying new things...or simply just playing around. I did a couple of trials on some creative shots I'm working on...but these ones were just for fun!

Arkona's Men In Yellow On The Job!

So today was a pretty hot day, and the wind really picked up at times. Unfortunately put these two together and field fire can be disasterous. Fortunatley our Men In Yellow were right on the job! Here's a couple of shots showing the aftermath.
