Laura and I are on the move this week!  We spent the last week with Laura's mom and stepdad at their cool house in Durham, Ontario — there is something completely different about Canada when you get away from the city centers.  Toronto is not representative of Ontario, or even Canada really — it's like [...]

It's a rainy Saturday in Toronto. Our move to Dallas is coming, albeit slowly; as we pack and gather and stuff and tape, I keep thinking of that crazy big sky in Texas and how I have seen nothing quite like it in my travels. I have to say I miss it.  I also miss [...]

jimonlight-durham-ontario

Laura and I went to Durham, Ontario to see her mom and stepdad a few days ago, and it was cold and snowy — just what I've come to expect of Canada! The light was so overcast and diffuse because of the weather that it created some great conditions for capturing detail.  Check out some [...]
