It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, and what better adventure than “Bug Stalking.” I’m thinking about getting that recognized as a national sport. Pure genius, if I do say so myself.

James Taylor sings, “With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go … ” – and for so long I’ve tried to capture those words in a photo.

I think I’m getting close.

To a lot of Ajax residents, by the lake is home. It’s a place where you can lose track of time; a place for family; a place for friends; most certainly a place for picnics, and early morning jogs.

But despite the sparkling waters from afar, I wouldn’t suggest taking a dip in Lake Ontario – at least not in the Ajax waters.

Shooting this collection of Lisa Marshall was particularly important to me – not only has she been a life-long friend, but she is an all around beautiful person inside and out. Miss Marshall impacts the lives of everyone she encounters, always for the better. Her glowing personality and her drive to succeed is inspirational.

The photographs were shot along Duffins Creek, the same path I used to take while walking to grade school. Despite the ever-changing town of Ajax, somehow this location has remained the same: peaceful and meaningful, at least to me.

I’ve always been fascinated with the concept “writing with light.” I learned the technique a few years ago, and it’s since been an addiction, of sorts.

To achieve this, I set my f-stop at about 5.6 and my shutter speed at 15 seconds.
