Jasper in the Out of Doors
I really do try to restrain myself from putting up too many images of my son. When I used Facebook albums I really went overboard. At least with a blog I restrict myself to 1 or 2 images and endeavour to ensure that they have some special quality beyond being simply documentary images of Jasper.
They Shoot Buffalo, Don’t They?

More from the Backwater
I feel that adding more Backwater images to this blog might be overkill, but I really loved this production and hope to see it again or see similar productions that combine theatre, dance, music, and visual media into something truly powerful and original.

Good Women Being Great

When my son decides to allow it, I have been working through the edit of all the great images I had the fortune of capturing at this years festival. While working this morning, I discovered this rather compelling portrait from their Expanse set.
