Photography is the documentation of life, once that shutter has clicked, the moment has passed and history is made. Some may be familiar with project 365, a simple concept, take a photograph everyday for 365 days. This blog is an extension of the project; the goal is to keep photographing every day, who knows how long? It is an excellent archive to look back on, see how things change. Change can be subtle, such as different coloured flowers being planted each year to a changing landscape with buildings being demolished and new ones built. This blog archives life’s diversity and my encounters.

Photographing Fire


 Photographing Marsh Fire


Always have a camera on hand, that is typically a motto that I like to adhere to but there are always those times when you don’t. Today was one of those days; driving back from downtown I saw a billowing cloud of smoke and no camera on hand. Arriving at the location, it was a marsh fire behind the Ambassador Hotel off Princess Street. Photographically this type of fire provides sufficient time due to the limited capability of being able to prevent such a fire from spreading. After driving home, I was able to get back out and photograph the blazing marsh. I’m not a fan of standing along the sidelines watching, that is why I had to find a way out onto the marsh. If you are going to photograph any fire, respect the fire fighter’s boundaries and don’t be a hindrance.
