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.

NPAC lightning


June 8 2011-Lightning lights up the sky above Fort Henry, a UNESCO world heritage site, during the second thunderstorm to go through the area that day.

It is nice to try and get your work in as many locations as possible. As an internship student with The Kingston Whig-Standard and a storm enthusiast it provided a unique front page photo that not many would have taken. Eventually I was able to get it on to the Weather Network and now it is up on NPAC's website as the spotlight photo.
Lightning is an amazing thing to photograph. It took me the longest time to realize why I love photographing lightning, I have come to the conclusion, much like photographing all other weather phenomenon, it is one of the only things on the planet we have no control over.
