For the past 21 years photographer Robert Hitchman has been publishing the Photograph America Newsletter. They are extremely well written with lots of great location and photographic advice. I can tell you that as part of the planning and research that Valerie and I did for many of our trips, we have always checked to see if Robert had visited that area and see what he had to say about it. Each newsletter is dedicated to one location/area, to date there are 116 issues. Robert has offered my students and readers of this blog a 15% a discount. (coupon code wshop15) It is good for a 15% discount on one order of Photograph America Newsletter collections and/or individual newsletters placed through his website
In 1991 the Royal Family; Prince Charles and Princess Diana with Princes William and Harry visited Ottawa. For the occasion the Canadian government had contacted me and asked me to print the above photograph of the Douglas Fir Trees in Cathedral Grove, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The picture was presented to Princess Diana, however I didn’t have the opportunity to meet any of the Royal Family at the time. But – perhaps there might be a wedding invitation in the mail!

It has been nearly 30 years since I gave my first presentation to the RA Photo Club in Ottawa. Since then I’ve accumulated quite a large collection of RA Photo coffee mugs which I have received from the club for my numerous presentations and also for judging at their competitions.
My topic for this presentation is Passion For Photography
I can’t begin to explain or tell you how huge my passion for photography is, but maybe I can show you! My passion isn’t about equipment and camera gear, it’s about seeing and expressing myself through photography. It’s about creating and making images. This presentation will cover my approach to capturing, editing and processing images. Topics that I could talk about forever.
My presentation for camera club is this coming Tuesday, November 9th at 7:30 and best of all it’s free! You don’t have to be a member to come to this meeting to see my presentation, love to see you there!

Ottawa Photography Classes
Are you stuck in a photographic rut? Maybe you are and you don’t even know it. If you are taking the same style and type of pictures over and over again and using the same techniques. Then, you are in a rut!
Want to improve your photography and take it to a whole new level? Then join me this autumn for a 5 day, 3 evening workshop in Ottawa during the peak of the fall colours. DETAILS This course is designed for anyone who wants to improve their photography. No matter how good or bad you think you are, this course is for you. Receive in the field instructionals, tutorials, hands on learning and feedback on your photos. Learn how to create visually stunning images, not just a record of what you see. Our primary FOCUS will be developing your photographic vision.

It never gets old, Eh? (Canadian Version)
Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia
One of my photos from Peggy’s Cove has been used on the cover of Fodor’s Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada guide book. Over the years I have spent so much time out East, teaching workshops and on photo tours that a lot of people thought that I was from the Maritimes. It’s kind of funny because I’ve actually spent more time in Southern Africa and no one has ever asked me if I was South African. Maybe it’s my lack of a South African accent that’s the give away!
