Almost lost my camera bag to the sea while shooting photos here a couple of weeks ago 😅

A man loads kelp onto a cart being towed by an ATV on a snow-covered beach in the small fishing community of Lawn, Newfoundland. The morning light helps illuminate the steam rising from the kelp.

Shot some super old expired Kodak ULTRA 400 (Wal-Mart branded) last summer with my Pentax MX. My friend @cgartworks.bsky.social scanned them for me.

I love the retro vibe!

A batch of candy apples sit ready for purchase in the window of a food trailer at a rural carnival. The image is shot on expired film and has a retro vibe.

I don’t usually take colourful sunrise / sunset photos but closing the year with an exception seems appropriate enough

Little St. Lawrence

A couple of years ago, a local metal detectorist found a 15th century Henry VI quarter noble gold coin on a beach just a stone's throw away from this scene.

That may not be a big deal in Europe, but it sure was here in Newfoundland

A sunny and calm January day in the tiny rural community of Little St. Lawrence, Newfoundland Canada. A fishing shed sticks out between the bushy foreground and the jagged oceanside hills of the background.

This corner cottage is on the narrow road to towards the village of Malpas, Truro. When I took this shot, I loved the texture of the old wall and the angle of the fencing, all overseen by the solitary tree. 😊

Someone's home

#Photography #Fujifilm #Newfoundland

And old two story home in rural Newfoundland sits looking eerily abandoned at dusk. There is, however, warmth coming from a light in a downstairs window. The more modern house across the street has a Christmas tree in the window.

In Nov I released my first photobook. It's a very niche book, but also a very personal one.

I've shot professionally for 20 yrs.Had work published in mags, thousands of happy clients, but nothing has felt as satisfying as the ppl that bought my book feeling exactly what I set out to have them feel.
