I just got back from a week in Victoria, B.C. It’s the first time I’ve been out there with my 5D Mark III, so (in between downpours) I spent a lot of time shooting the town.

Graves in Scotland
Well, today’s the day! Scotland votes on the independence question. The fact that my final post in this Scotland series is on graveyards should not be taken as a subtle commentary on the Scottish referendum. I merely thought it fitting that the last in the series should relate to death.
Museums in Scotland
In Scotland, just about every church and castle counts as a museum. For this post, I highlight museums that aren’t churches or castles. Here are photos from four secular museums in Glasgow and all of them are free.
Forth & Clyde Canal
There’s no point posting photos of Edinburgh & Glasgow without also posting photos of the thing that joins them, namely the Forth and Clyde Canal. The Canal, completed in 1790 and restored 200 years later, cuts across the Scottish lowlands, joining the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde.
Photos from Glasgow
If Edinburgh is “high”, Glasgow is “low”. If Edinburgh is art, Glasgow is graffiti. If Edinburgh is culture and politics, Glasgow is industry and commerce. You probably see a pattern by now.
Photos from Edinburgh
This is the 3rd themed set of photos from Scotland, this time, of Edinburgh. Although Glasgow and Edinburgh aren’t far away from each other (from a Toronto perspective, it’s like driving on the 401 from Mississauga to Pickering), they nevertheless have quite distinctive personalities.
Photos of People Taking Photos
Paris is a great place to take photos of people taking photos. The place is teeming with tourists most of whom spend a lot of their time documenting their time.
Goderich, Ontario
Goderich is a small town on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, noted for its large harbour where ships take on salt from the local salt mine or grain stored in elevators by the harbour.
The Ghost Ranch Narrative
I spent last week on a photo workshop with Richard Choe at the Ghost Ranch near Abiquiu, NM, a 75 minute drive northwest of Santa Fe.
Box Canyon, Abiquiu, NM
Last week I took part in a photography workshop at the Ghost Ranch near Abiquiu, New Mexico. Led by our hardy pro, Richard Choe, three of us hiked along the riverbed to Box Canyon.
Jim in Taos, New Mexico
Last Friday, I found myself in the town of Taos in New Mexico which was setting up for a weekend fiesta. According to Wikipedia, Taos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in North America (more than a thousand years).
Dispatches from Scotland
Arrived 8:30 a.m. and the first thing I saw after coming through customs was a pair of police officers dressed in Kevlar and carrying automatic weapons.
