Welcome to Wandering Horizon Photography

Website, Wedding Photos, and New Slideshows

It's a new year, and after spending all of my time in the past few months working on my book, I realize it's time to update this website. And fast.

First on the list of things to do is post some new photos in the slideshow collections. New shots will be posted regularly in the coming weeks. I've also just gotten back from taking pictures for my friends Chris and Tanya. Even though the weather was not always cooperative, it was a wonderful wedding and a chance to work a different skill set. Some of those new wedding pictures will show up soon in the wedding slideshow.

The best part of going through my old catalogue and editing down all the new shots is reliving the experiences and remembering the places where I've been. In my new collections there are some old gems, a few pictures rescued from the recycle bin, and some brand new shots taken very recently.  A highlight in the updated photo slideshows will be some of the pictures from my most recent trip to Nepal. A staggeringly beautiful country best known as the southern approach to Mount Everest, the region is developing quickly, and is suffering from many of the common ailments associated with rapid growth. Pollution, political instability, and access to clean water and enough food being primary concerns. Warm and welcoming, the Nepalese people are determined to overcome these challenges, and for a photographer, two separate trips of two months is still not nearly enough time to appreciate or understand everything that is going on. I will be going back.

Where Do I Start?

Building a website. Writing my first book. It's a busy time.

Lost and Found and a New Printer

I've been diligently plugging away at my computer, and am now on the second draft of my book. With momentum on my side I hope to complete the manuscript by April. Lost and Found, Travels in the Canadian Rockies would hopefully have a Christmas release, after editing and final changes are complete. In the meantime, I'm researching a new large format printer because living in Canmore does have it's disadvantages. Namely, making prints larger than 13x19. I've been experimenting with larger prints and alternative print mediums with a company in Calgary, with good results, but it will be nice to be able to get the work done without leaving Canmore.

The Canadian Ski Marathon, the West Coast Trail and Nepal

Even the best laid plans can go astray. This past summer and fall have been busy, and I've been getting some great assignments from our local newspaper, the Rocky Mountain Outlook. As a result travel has not been part of the equation, for now. With the Canadian Ski Marathon (Feb. 12-13) fast approaching and snow conditions tending toward unstable a planned backcountry trip to Mount Assiniboine was impossible, but is still on my mind for the spring. In the late spring or sometime in the summer it would be fun to shoot something other than mountains, and the West Coast Trail is one of Canada's premier hiking destinations. It would be my second trip to the trail.
