  1. Man, this thread is full of win!! :)

    Great to see you rocking the RxC nottootight!!

    Dr_Heech, they're looking great! Methinks you are still sneaking them to work ;)

    Damn Paul - you're a celebrity! So….. Groupies?? ;)

    Roy6 - you've outdone yourself! Great pics! And what a contrast in atmosphere with ThisSunday's activities!

    ThisSunday, that shot of you wearing the smoking jacket (in the wayjdt thread) -amazing fit - should have gotten it!! Gotta get you both when I recharge!

    Well, my update today is G-rated, just so you know.. :P

    Catching up on the weekend stuff. We were staying at my uncle's place - he's got land in the Niagara region. So of course, we had to check out the falls.

    We ended up walking out onto the Rainbow Bridge, and the view was really something.

    It was a long way down - not for the acrophobic, for sure. I was actually pretty surprised that the railing was so low - great for photography & base jumping!

    Upon returning to the border crossing, the customs officials told us that they get a lot of "jumpers", to which my little girl commented "Yeah! Base jumping is so cool!"

    His reply was "I'm afraid these jumpers never come back." :eek:

    Man. They sure manage to keep it out of the news pretty well.

    Then into town to hit up every kid's favourite place!

    The chocolate covered strawberries were amazing

    BTW - she is wearing blue nail polish to celebrate getting her blue belt in karate!!

  2. Cash - awesome! My wife and I both used to do a fair bit of ultra running, mostly locally, and in the northeast US. Always dreamed about doing the Western States, but these days don't have the time to put in those training miles!

    Mike... Another glorious food post!

    Just a mini-update… Had a fun week - despite the thunderstormy weather. Everyone's in a summer holiday frame of mind, and a few of us from the office took a bunch of clients out. The RxC stayed dry on shore….

    While we did this….

    Afterwards, it was a short walk to another area of the beach to try some sports photography….

    I think I need a lot more practice at this :D Still a long, hot summer ahead ;)

  3. They also featured some excellent photo exhibits

    This one below, on AIDs in Africa, was taken by Tony Hauser. I've known him for years - he took our family portraits right after our little girl was born. Amazing photog, his work is all film/B&W.

    On our way home from a dinner a couple of days ago, we spotted this

    I played with this one for a while - a steal at $5k…

    How about some special editions

    Beautiful craftsmanship. But no purchases sadly!

    Now off to do father's day stuff! Have a great weekend!

  4. Nice pics snozepp! Roy - looks like a great exhibit! Robbie, good times! Back from Canada already???

    Xpost from RxC

    Happy Father's day to all you dads! Our morning started with the baby rabbit joining his parents in our back yard!

    It's been the usual busy, busy here. I am involved in an annual charity fund-raising fair. This year, in addition to the CFO job, I also took on the role of photographer for the event. Here are a few snaps…

    The silent auction room - all kinds of goodies. I donated the photo canvas just visible in the top left corner of the pic…

    The bake sale was mouth-watering

    All kinds of bouncy castles

    c527b04b.jpg

    And of course there had to be a "dunk" station - in this case, via water balloons!

    2443d7d3.jpg

    Also managed to get out to the "Profusion" show, put on by Vistek, one of Canada's large photography retailers. Their shows are usually geared more towards the pro market, and they always have fantastic instructional sessions, as well as the latest & greatest toys

    They has quite a bit of good lighting products: they missed some great sales opps by not having things set up for us to try, but I played around anyways ;)

  6. ADH, great way to kick off! Great pics, and your girl sounds like a keeper!

    Paul, nice to see you back at it! Glad I'm not subject to the temptations you run into everyday!

    Happy Father's day to all you dads! Our morning started with the baby rabbit joining his parents in our back yard!
