KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This photo was taken in the little Port of Sormiou in Marseille.

It's a candid moment of summer. Children playing in the turquoise water under the blazing sun.

The photo was taken with an Olympus OM 10 on a Kodak Portra 400 at 200 Asa. 

Spent the weekend camping with family and our four legged friends. These two were all over each other until they were told is was time to depart. 

Today is the first day of 3rd grade.  Even though we are not with our friends and physically at school, we know we will have a great year.  

We were getting ready to leave Milan and saw a beautiful cafe with authentic Italian gelatos, I’ve never had it before so of course we stopped and went in! I’m not a huge ice cream fan but this was the MOST AMAZING cone I’ve eaten in a long time. Was the perfect way to end our mini vaca, and leave with something sweet. ?

L’été , la plage....les glaces et les beignets...

My nephews got in the roundabout and I decided to start spinning fastly  so I could get some motion blur. One of them started to break the speed and what I got was an amazing shot with him focused in the center of the action.

Enjoying the end of summer at the beach. 
The best thing to do is to run away from waves 

That moment when you discover your heart has an even greater capacity to love...

Hiking with my family in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan always makes for a good Kodak Moment! :) 

This was my daughter’s first time on her roller skates and I just so happen to be behind them with my sons in the stroller. It was perfect and I liked how the image looked in black and white. They are inseparable. She is a daddy’s girl forever.

Nature teaches more than we think. Grounding and surrounding yourself with all of which nature has to offer established and replenishes your whole body’s energy force. By connection to the bioelectricity of the earth you connect to a deeper self and begin to channel higher vibrancy. Next time you find yourself outdoors take the time to acknowledge all of which surrounds you. The wood cracking under your feet, the fresh air travelling in your lungs, the colours, the wind and the birds. Start being mindful and present and realize how much more you could expand your perception just by changing and accommodating new ways of thinking and experiencing the now in a different manner.

If I could choose favorite sunset experience - this one would be it ?.

It was in August After 18 hours when the colors are sweet.

My english spaniel was scared to swim and  my daughter was trying to reassure her.

A beautiful moment with my family near the nature.

I love it ?

Finding little gems like these makes my soul happy ?  Mother Nature always producing the goods! Love visiting this beautiful little spot @ Cedar Creek, Samford, QLD 

Avis de canicule, si on retournait au lac de Tignes ? 

a holiday in Sardinia, my motherland.  friends, family, love, a dip in the most beautiful sea in the world.

It was my daughter’s first time apple picking so she was very excited. Most of the apples were on top of the trees so i picked her up to grab some. We could not stop laughing and luckily my sister was there to capture the moment, it was a very fun day and we cannot wait to go back!

While my partner and I are both January babies, we sureeee love the summertime! Here’s a photo of us enjoying the last bit of summer and soaking up that beautiful sunshine ☀️.  We spent a magical day at the Sooke Potholes and had the most perfect weather! On another note, I think my splashes were pretty amazing too! Like the title says, not a competition but I think the picture says it all ????.

I took this when me and my daughter was hiking in the woods nearby our house outside Örebro, Sweden. She had a little can of soapbubbles in her pocket and began to blow some bubbles. I snapped it with my Pentax MX. The film I used was a Kodak portra 400.

Nothing says fall to me more than picking apples! So we headed to our local farm fresh market to pick some of our own! 

Ho quasi l'età di Gesù..ma datemi un altalena e impazzisco?

FALL IS NEAR ? and we are definitely starting to feel it.

This morning Micah sat on the porch waiting on his Ganny and Papa to pick him up for church! His excitement for Jesus and church truly warms my heart! Y’all see the ? mic in his hand looking like he’s going to deliver the sermon?

Our dog Henry took awhile to get to know our Grandson Jack. Jack was very gentle and patiently waiting for Henry’s approval!! It finally happened!!❤️

It always a good day to spend with friends.

Golden hour at 1,000 steps beach in Laguna Beach, California. Show on Portra 400 with the Pentax 6x7 and the 105mm f2.4. 

We went to pumpkin patch!

There’s nothing quite like the first rays of morning as they kiss changing leaves of fall. I struggled to get to this point - I wanted nothing more than to head home on Friday night after a long first week back to teaching. Tears were shed as I drove three hours to my campsite, parked my car, ate a PB&J, and wrapped myself in several blankets before drifting off to a chilly sleep.

I woke up at 4AM to snag a parking spot at the trail head and started hiking; I sat on the summit of Mt. Jo wrapped in blankets to fight off the 24 degree morning. It was all worth it for this stunning view of the MacIntyre Range to start my hiking day! 

During the first week of Covid-19 Quarantine, my good friend @EricSorenson and I couldn’t resist seeing what our city looked like with everything shut down. We set out on our bicycles and explored our new Ghost Town. We biked up and down major avenues as if we owned them. Avenues that would be impossible to bike down on a normal day. It was a unique and eerier feeling to see our city become so desolate.

I’m a happy happy boy!

Embracing all the fall activities this year!

It was a fun little day trip together to Bearizona in Williams, AZ to get out of the heat of Phoenix AZ.

   My friend Alex and I climbed to the Castle Rock summit at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks, Upstate NY. I captured the moment he viewed the beautiful Fall Foliage surrounding the valley. It was definitely worth the hike! 

Time flies while you’re busy turning moments into memories. You don’t notice how beautiful a moment was until all you have left is a photo of the memory. 

As we were getting ready to leave the picnic the sun's rays came out from the clouds in the distance and I wanted to capture a few more candids. This is how I got this shot. The colour scheme could not have been more perfect!

I’m from Banff Alberta, and I took my mom to Bankhead for the first time on my last day with her before I went back to school. There are coal carts there and I climbed inside one not realizing my mom took a photo.

The photo of me was taken somewhere in a field in Transylvania by my friend Irina, using my film camera, an Olympus AF10 and a Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

Fall is almost here and I can hardly wait. By far the best season and the photos never disappoint.

Someone is pumped for all things fall / halloween 

Visiting our first pumpkin patch of this Autumn when driving across the UK on our two week road trip.

But what I love most of all about fall is hanging with my pumpkin ??

I’m batty for you! ?? 

Bear is dressed as a bat for spooky season this year. 

Perfect pictures don’t exist but perfect moments do. I’ve never felt more complete and I’m starting to realize this warm feeling from these special moments we get to spend together are way more worth a perfect photo. And truthfully this is my perfect photo. There’s more to love than likes.

⠀

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love matching family pics ?

I think it might be better I stick to jack-o-lanterns. Bucky thinks so too! He sure enjoyed some of the pumpkin scraps while we carved it, too!

Today was “Dress up like a Doctor” day at their preschool.
I knew everyone would dress their children in the traditional doctor scrubs etc.
So I decided to dress them up as Veterinarian Doctors.

Aren’t they just the cutest?

Halloween last year, Boulder and Harley as ET and Elliott dress up. 

Dressing up for Halloween is our favorite & what better costume than a bunch of princesses?! 

Loving sisters celebrating spooky season. 

Clark and Buddy, brothers that love to dress up! 

It’s spooky season! Happy Halloween!

It’s hard not to ? ?? “Fall” ??? in love with you. 

A spooky season appropriate outfit :)

Autumn is here! So I had a road trip with my family around my city to enjoy those fall colors.
