I love this shot. It’s one of my favourites from last weekend, for the subject matter. (Although the execution could use a lot of work: I should’ve used a faster shutter speed, but I had to shoot quickly before the hangar door shut and the kid was moving his little plane around. The downpour just [...]

I should’ve known the baby gates were no match for a persistent kitty. Not this one, anyway. You can practically see the calculations and computations going on in his head: “Hmmm… will it hold me if I jump from here?”

Bloody hell! It was Platinum Blonde’s “Crying Over You” (Alien Shores, 1985). [...]

Woo-hoo! I was booked months ago for two rides today, as part of my membership at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton Airport.
