Fair Fare

I've been on the road for the past week or so; this is my first posting in a while. This pic was taken at the Westerner Days fairgrounds in Red Deer. A fair just isn't a fair unless you have a corn dog as my daughter and nephew can attest to.

Blues Man

Tom Lavin of the Powder Blues band cuts into a guitar solo during the band's performance at the Downtown Duncan Festival last week. I saw Powder Blues back in '86 at a bar in Creston, BC and got a pic of Tom in almost the exact same pose and facial expression. I wish I could find that pic.

Before the Splat

This guy looks like he's about to smack face-first into the pavement, but he was just doing some break dancing moves (do they still call it break dancing?) in a parade.

Obsessed

My kid thinks I'm obsessed - just because I take pictures of my shadow when riding my bike. Kids - what do they know?

Cute Kid

I couldn't resist getting a shot of this little guy at an outdoor concert in downtown Duncan. I didn't know who he was, but it ends up he's the son of my neighbor's co-worker.

Remnants of a shower

The morning sun has yet to get to these droplets left over from the previous night's showers.

Insomnia

What do you do when you can't sleep. I go looking for things to shoot. This is downtown Duncan at 3 a.m. It will never be mistaken for New York.

Distraction

Despite the beautiful sunset that was unfolding in front of me, I found myself fascinated by this spider web.

Patience

The above shots were taken about 25 minutes apart from the exact same location, just with the tripod head moved slightly for the second shot. I was about to give up on getting any color in the sky and leave, but a call on my cell phone delayed my departure by a few minutes. After the call, I looked back and quickly set up the tripod again.
