My Projects are 2 fold - Grand Babies & Wild Life . I'll back up to 7 years ago when the Wheels fell off Health Wise and changed my Life from an extreme Outdoorsman to a self pitying Indoorsman. I worried constantly about every pain that I felt; the the End was near. Then about 3 or 4 years ago I said thats not me thats never been me! I loaded up almost all my gear to take to our summer cottage to get back into a hobby that I loved. That night a punk broke into my Truck & stole everything. The Insurance Bought me the very latest replacement Gear to the Tune of $9200.00 . That takes care of my gear for the rest of my life and I am not waiting for the next costly releases ; but I still would like to find the Thief and take him out to a thankyou dinner (Anything he wants off the Kiddy Menue). ;)
At the same time we were blessed with Grand babies coming out the Wazzoo from 0 to 4 and I realized that I didn't have to go deep into the Boreal Forest to capture Wildlife anymore. Thunder Bay is loaded with Wildlife every where in the City Limits. Over 500 reportable accidents a year between Deer & Vehicles. Moose , Bears Cougars ,Wolves, Lynx, Raccoons, Fox , Beaver, Muskrat etc. roam the city's pavement & Green Space. I have even seen a Wolf trying to bring down a big Doe in the CNR railway yard. No picture but almost a head on while I was Gawking at the scene on my way to Swiss Chalet. Something I had never seen in all my travels in the Boreal. There are over 80 Bald Eagles permanently stationed at the City dump (even when its -40C). Makes a better picture when they are flying or when they are in the surrounding trees.;) Most of my shooting is restricted to my back deck or the Windows of my Truck but the opportunities are endless and the projects are growing. And I am starting to dabble in another Project "Abstracts":cool: I'll always have my Basics - Landscapes & Low Light:) I love these kind of threads and will always post examples of my pictorial essays and the Pixal Peepers & Technocrats be Damned .:rolleyes:
