Winter Windmills
I love the way the crisp, white blades of the wind turbines contrast with the deep blue winter sky.

Winter Sun Video
The good light suddenly started to fade as the sun ducked behind cloud cover. “I guess that’s it,” I said to myself as I walked back to my pickup. I started to drive home when, out of habit, I glanced up at the sky to see if there was a chance that the sun would reemerge soon. When I saw the perfect circle of the sun filtered through the winter clouds, I quickly pulled over and started shooting.
New Gallery: Prairie Wheat
Cloud Ring
Black and white allows the eye to appreciate the subtle tones, textures, and shapes of the subject. In this case, the dark, wispy clouds surrounding the ring of spot-lit clouds in the centre of the photograph.
Skylines
If I’m drawn by the abstract shapes and colours of a sunset, they becomes my focus. Striped Sunset represents such a choice. I was fascinated b the parallel lines, subtle textures, and beautiful variation in colour. I used a short telephoto to isolate this abstract image of the sunset sky.
Cloud-Y
As it happened, there was a whole layer of light and colour that I hadn’t seen in the underexposed slide. Moving the sliders revealed the shape and colour of the light that had been hiding behind the cloud formation.
Winter Field and Sky
Today the overcast sky left the landscape looking flat and drab. So, I looked up and saw the subtle texture and colours in the sky itself.
Two Winter Trees
As I was warming my hands in the truck, I noticed the two trees and the dramatic sky behind them. The low winter sun casts strong shadows, which only added to the scene. Shooting directly into the sun is not something I do often. In this case I did it because it helped to complete the story.
Lonely Tree Gallery
When it is not cloudy, the January sky is a clean, rich blue. I tried to combine those elements into the Lonely Tree Series. Moving close to the tree allowed the trees strength and the pattern of its outstretched branches to contrast with the sky. For me, it is a way to show the kind of strength a living thing needs to survive in the cold, vast, Canadian prairies. I think that the tree was allowed to stand out of respect for that very strength.
