Here is a bit of a funny story. My eldest son Owen has been asking for months to get a crew cut because some of his friends recently got them. I told him he could get one at the beginning of summer vacation but he insisted he wanted one sooner so we broke down and took him. So our barber Emilio asks him if he is sure and Owen says “yup” and Emilio goes to town on him with the clippers. When we get home Owen is really upset after spending some time in front of the bathroom mirror and we ask him what is wrong. He says that he doesn’t like his hair because he doesn’t think he looks like himself anymore. Thank god it’s only hair and he would still be asking if we didn’t take him.

I shoot a lot of news work and as some of you know there is “Arnold mania” in Toronto right now. I shot Arnold at the LCBO as he was tasting and talking about California wines for 5 min. I don’t think there is anything special about these photos but the absolute craziness over celebrities baffles me. I was talking to my assistant Lisa and today and told her I think the Canadian government needs to hire American celebrities to represent the various CDN political offices. We can tell these celebrities what to say and people seem to like to listen to them and the press show up in droves to get their messages out. Maybe we could get Adam Sandler as our Mister of education and dress him like Billy Madason and Pam Anderson could be our Minister of health and show the great work she has had done by CDN doctors. Hmmmm. Any thoughts on this one?

Here are a few photos I really liked from Christine and Lyndon’s wedding last Saturday. Stay tuned for many new updates to my site this week.

I wanted to share an image I shot this past Saturday at Cynthia and Adam’s wedding. The weather was awesome and the sunset and movement is what I love about this image.
