swans are back in our area, and boy do they make noise. The trumpet sound as well as the load flapping of their wings as they take off. Its beautiful to watch them.

Now thats deep mud. the cowboy was bucked off and we just about loose him under the mud. Soupy thick mud.

Fall weather and work

Lots of jobs still to do! I am not sure any farmer or rancher is ever ready for winter. It's been cool and a bit if rain( although not enough as we need it badly) stopping any harvest that is still to do. Yet we did have a great fall run this year with dry windy weather perfection for the guys in the field! Here is one I took the other day

Frost on the tree

Cowgirls

It's spring and with that come out all the barrel racers and jackpots! I have a few ladies in the area that I have taken photos of with their horses (loved like a member of the family) and I try to get to the local events to capture some moments and photos. Here are a few of my fav's

Explore

On flickr (a photo sharing website) Explore is 500 photos that are showcased each day. Are they the best? Are they hand picked? Are they voted on? I have no idea!
I do know that I have been honoured with several images making that list, and I am humbled each and every time.
It is great when I create an image, LOVE it, upload it and others love it too!!
It really gets me thinking on the subject: Follow your heart!
I believe that when we are in that vulnerable state, that allows our eyes to see REALLY see the beauty around us. We capture amazing images to share with the world. This truly is a window to our soul.
Does that image touch you? amazing you? piss you off? Did it make you FEEL SOMETHING?
Good, I did my job!
My BFF always tells me when she see's one of my really great images that it gives her the chills. A shiver goes right through her. I LOVE that! I tell her she's my personal meter of greatness.
Here is a link to EXPLORE on flickr. Check out the great inspiration. Its addicting so grab a cup of tea and relax.

These are images of mine that have made explore.
Thanks again for stopping by. Always inspiring to hear comments.

Print on sale at Amazon

I regularly google my name to see if people are using my photos. (When I sell a license to use an image I don't get told were it is used and have to find it myself). While googling today. I found an image of a newborn calf being sold as a canvas print on Amazon.com

Good or bad. not sure! Exciting to see my photo considered as art worthy of amazon, but I make ONLY a small percent of that sale.

Photo of the day 27.02.2013

Snow has been heavy and often this winter. It started in October, so I am sure you realize we are all extremely sick of winter. I have taken 1000+ images of snow this winter. Getting stuck in it, piles of it, playing in it, feeding cows in it, and now WALKING IN IT!

Thanks for checking out the photo of the day. Comments are always welcome!

A collection of places you can buy my images

People ask me all the time. "I love that photo, can I buy it?".
The answer is of course you can!
I sell my images all over the world. That is what keeps me buying more equipment, and helps me travel to great spots to create these images.
I love sharing my images with people that appreciate the passion that was used to create each and every one of the images.

I also sell online at Redbubble, Fine Art America, and also to magazines, newspapers. I also have agencies that represent my work and do the selling for me. These are called stock agencies!
I currently have images licensed to Getty Images, and Alamy images with numerous other agencies in the works. Flickr is where I share images with other artists.
I have traveled around the world with libraries of 10000+ images, and have dreams of many more places. All these images are available.
I live in a rural prairie area of beautiful Alberta, Canada. I have 1000's images of landscape of rural Alberta, ranching, farming, wildlife, old buildings, equipment and fences, and of course my cows are the stars of many many images.
Sports, and action photography is something I truly enjoy doing and have +++ libraries of this. some include Ball (baseball, softball, slowpitch), hockey, motorbike riding, fishing and lake images, snowmobiling, and many more.
Wildlife Photography is my absolute favourite type of photography. I love that I can not pose the subject. I have to learn to react quickly, see distractions in the background or foreground, and know what I can do to create a beautiful image with the time, subject and surroundings I have at any moment.

To be ready at all times when the opportunity arises! Nothing excites me more than capturing, or create that gorgeous image that will never exist in that same way ever again! Does that make sense. Take a look at this image. Yes deer will continue to jump over fences, and I can go back to this spot and possibly create a similar photo. BUT never again can this image with this deer on this day be recreated. I love the feeling!

I am planning on posting a photo a day to help represent my work. As well as keep you updated on news.
