Video: Saskatoon Street Xmas Lights.

A few weeks ago, Tracey, her brother Marshall and I took the kids to see the fabled Saskatoon Street house here in London.  It was all of our first times visiting the house, and it didn’t disappoint.

Here is a quick video that I shot.

Music is “I love NYE” by Badly Drawn Boy

I also did a quick long exposure shot that didn’t quite turn out.

Our time is running out… (NaPhoBoMo Entry)

Our time is running out…

Choosing my project for the National Photo Book Month. I originally chose to do the theme of long exposure photography.  Being that I could only take photos in certain lighting conditions, the idea became very difficult to finish, and I ran out of time.

This morning, November 30th, I was out of time, and could not finish the project.  Disappointed in myself for procrastinating, I gave up.  I was kicking myself for not choosing a theme that was easier to execute.  Then it came to me.  I am a big procrastinator, and time always seems to be against me, so I thought, what if I did the entire project in one day, documenting the time in between shots.  Using time as my theme now, I picked up an alarm clock and went out shooting.  The time that is displayed on the clock, it the actual time of the photo.

All Photos were taken on Monday, November 30th, 2009

I haven’t been to this event since I was Brodie’s age. I have to admit, driving up to the park I though that this was going to be pretty weak, but in the end, we had a great time. I remember being Brodie’s age and being pulled on a sled through the park thinking that the lights were the greatest thing ever.

Tracey and the kids had a great time. As much as I hate the stuff,snow would have been a nice touch.
