International Women's Day in Chiapas, Mexico.
Today is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, so I wanted to share this image I took a few years ago during a Women’s Day demonstration in Chiapas, Mexico.
Knoll Toronto Showroom
I had the good fortune recently to be hired to produce some interior photographs of Knoll’s new Toronto showroom. It is a beautiful space filled with iconic furniture, including the Barcelona Chair and Couch by Mies van der Rohe, and it is also the first independent furniture showroom not located in a LEED building to receive a LEED Platinum rating in all of North America. This is one of only three projects in Canada to receive a LEED-CI Platinum rating. So it is really quite an accomplishment, and it was a pleasure to photograph it. The photo below is one of my favourite images from that shoot, and I used it recently in a promotional email. If you would like to receive future email promos like this, please drop me a line with your contact details.
Latest food photography promo
I just had some new postcards printed to promote my food photography and will be mailing them out and hand delivering them to current and potential clients over the next few weeks. If you would like to added to my mailing list so you receive future promos please contact me and tell me a bit about your company and the type of photography you might be needing.

Fresh bread in five minutes… sort of.
I have started baking bread recently and decided to capture the results in a few photos.
I love bread and have to have it with most of my meals, but I never thought I would have the time or patience to make fresh bread. That changed recently when I discovered the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking
The authors also have a new edition coming out this month called Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free
Sunday Breakfast – Homemade Waffles
Vintage waffle maker from the Goodwill.
I was browsing at the Goodwill the other day and found this wonderful looking vintage waffle maker. It was half-price day as well, so it only cost me a couple bucks, and it still works fine. I also found the vintage radio that you see in the photo, and a few nice vinyl records that day, so I was glad everything was half price. The cookie jar in the photo is not from the Goodwill and has been in my family since I was kid.
This morning I decided to try my hand at making waffles and was pretty happy with the results of my first attempt. They’re a little undercooked, but hey, it was my first time with a waffle iron from the Goodwill 
I used the recipe for Quick and Easy Waffles in the cook book How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman (highly recommended by the way), and the next time I will try his more advanced Overnight Waffles recipe.
