NC State Calendar

In my last blog entry, I mentioned that two of my shots would be in the NC State CVM Behavior Club Calendar. The contest had about 300 submissions, and 20 shots were included. The images for the calendar are now available online, and some of them are extremely good shots (none of those being mine).

I don't like to toot my own horn, but...

TOOT TOOT!!!

I just got word that two of my pictures were chosen for the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine animal calendar (don't tell my dog Riley that his portrait was the one submission that didn't make the cut). Granted, rumors are that they did not have as many submissions this year as in years past, but even so, I'm flattered and encouraged that somebody who knows something about photography liked my shots.

Both shots have already been posted here before, but I'll go ahead and repost them.

Bow River

My opportunities for photography remain few and far between, so here's another one from the archives. This was one the first pictures I took in Banff. We were on the Bow River Parkway, and the picture offers a view of the road's namesake. The only reason this shot is a keeper is the train track. Artisitically, I think that tracks make nice leading lines, but sentimentally, I also like it because we were certainly very aware of the rail traffic in the park. Another interesting feature of the shot is the Bow River itself. The river has the opaque greenish hue of glacial melt.
