One of my favourite weekend pastimes is to take regional road trips, mostly in eastern Ontario and in New York’s North Country. In most cases, my only companion is my camera and my only souvenirs are the photos I take along the way. For well over ten years, photography has been a hobby of mine and with winter now looming large, I’m pleased to look back on autumn and share some of the moments I captured over the past several months.
Mighty fine spot, this. A table by the precipice, in Almonte, Ontario. If you read my new book, I Have Demons, you will notice that Almonte features prominently in one of the stories!So, are you a morning person?

A handful of artists in upstate New York were asked to explore what disturbs them in contemporary society. In this case, the artist is most disturbed by what we put in our mouth and in our head.Close to home. The golden forests of Richelieu Park, in Ottawa. No photo editing needed.
