An area in the central/northern Ontario region; part of the Muskokas. The drive to this place is over a lot of rough terrain and takes around slightly more than hour from our house, but the drive is well worth it.. Leaving our house you start out on a highway, which is about 15 minutes driving time. You cut off the highway at “Cooper’s Falls” (once a thriving community, established in the 1800s, but today calling it a hamlet is generous) and follow the road into Cooper’s Falls. At the “end” of Cooper’s Falls (it ends at the Black River) and just to the left is an old cart-track that has been paved over. You follow that for about 15 minutes, where the paving ends and the old corduroy road begins. This is where it gets dicey. The corduroy is a road constructed with underlying logs and covered with rubble and dirt, and hard-packed. Lots of the old country roads were constructed this way. Part way along this dirt road the logs have begun to rot and there are many pits and potholes (craters wold be a more apt word) along the laneway. It isn’t really fair to call it a road at this point…it is basically dirt where the tires go and grass, stone and undergrowth in the center and to either side. Many areas have no pathway at all. The granite shield has lifted over the years and the soil has eroded, so in some spots you are driving over granite outcrops. Further on, there are huge wetlands and swamps to either side of this track and places where the swamp has washed over the trail. There ride along here is a half hour on a good day (where the water is not covering the road…tho half hour on this road feels like a century), and considerably longer on a bad one. Just before you reach this idyllic wilderness the road dips down a large hill and the swamp is almost always covering it. Depending on the water level, you can cross the road…or not. We’ve taken to carrying a large pole with us in the truck. When we hit this spot I we stop and I get out with pole to test the water depth. If it’s below the upper portion of the tires (we’ve got a 3/4 ton with heavy duty raised suspension) we cross, if it’s not, we turn back. We almost lost the truck in the swamp our first time out here. Once you brave this last hurdle, you are home free. Up the small hill on the other side and when you crest that, you see the bridge and parking area. This photo was taken from the bridge. The area is predominantly rock – granite, black basalt and other types. These are natural forests with some small wildlife present all the time, and occasionally bear, deer, moose, and the odd wolf. Though the area is known as Victoria Falls, there are no waterfalls, only a series of rapids at different points along the river. On the opposite side of the bridge is a large wetlands area. This is probably my favourite place in the world to spend a day.

Been in the south of Tassie for four days shooting stills for a client. Me the Creative Director with Andrew the Art Director and Garth the professional photographer. We had to climb down a 100 metre cliff face, normally out of bounds but opened to us by the kind lighthouse keeper. Was a seriously hairy climb! But it led us to an untouched, pristine and rarely shot location (which will remain our secret :). This is a photo I took whilst Garth and Andrew sat on a rocky outcrop waiting for the light to be perfect. – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Black & white photography – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Monotone photography

I can still remember my very first camera that my parents had given to me when I was about 8 years old. I took that camera everywhere and snapped shots of anything and everything, however it wasn’t until much later in life that I was really bitten by the photography bug. I was planning a big move to the Canadian Rockies and thought now is the perfect time to buy my new camera gear for shooting wildlife. I bought all the equipment I needed that would put me up close with all the wildlife that the mountains had to offer. So off I went chasing Bears, Bighorn sheep, Moose, Elk and Wolves… pretty much any critter I could capture with my lens. It was a fascinating and thrilling experience. Then fate brought to me a girl and she would change my life forever… Newfoundland is where I now call home, with my beautiful wife and baby son. This province is a photographer’s paradise. The scenes change from day to day and the opportunities for capturing them are endless. With my camera in tow I now begin my journey through Newfoundland, photographing and capturing her raw and rugged beauty to share with the world. I hope you enjoy the photographs presented here.

The rugged and treacherous coastlines give way only to the unforgiving North Atlantic Ocean. It is a coastline marked with lighthouses that act as ever watching sentinels to welcome weary travellers home. It is a land of beautiful & quaint coastal towns, villages and cities. Newfoundland is a land visited by frozen giants from the North that create a sense of awe when seen by human eyes as they float down what is known as “Iceberg alley”. It is a land visited by massive whales during the summer that attract multitudes to the shorelines. It is a land rich in history and folklore and it is a land inhabited by a people who will welcome you with open arms. It is a land you need to visit… Newfoundland… In Living Color, captures the raw and rugged beauty of a landscape still yet untouched and marred by man’s corrupt hand. It is a tribute to a true Eden and its people that dwell there. / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / SOME OF MY FAVS / click on the image to link to that image / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

We should be as water… which is lower than all things… yet stronger even than the rocks…. Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Lion Slide Falls is located outside of Redding, in Northern Calfornia… it’s also called Hatchet Creek Falls by locals….

Fire and water don’t usually mix, but in this case they seem to flow wonderfully together. Caney Fork River at the Rock Island State Park, Tennessee. (P.S. This is not a sunset photo. The color in the reflection is from the autumn leaves. It’s a little blurry because the water was moving).

To catch the sun rising over the mountain requires a 3AM wakeup call 2 hour drive and a short 1 mile hike to waters edge. In my book worth it! Dawn illuminates the cloud-capped peak of Mt. Rainier as it reflects in the the still waters of Bench Lake

I would climb to the top and look out once more across the vast expanse of the mountain itself—then further – across Butte Valley, the Butte Mountains, all the way to the Rubies to the west, and the Egan and Cherry Creek Ranges to the northeast. I would climb higher still – to see Steptoe Valley and the Schell Creek Mountains that disappear into the southeastern horizon. I would talk to the deer and the elk, and the wild horses that roam the foothills. (May I not live to see the day of no mustangs on this land!) I would drink from pristene springs, and sing along with the perpetual song of the creeks rushing to find the desert. If my last hours should happen to be in Fall, I would pick wild berries and pinon nuts. I would eat my fill beneath the quakies, without care for tomorrow’s consequences. Up there, I can see the whole wild world, much as it looked a century ago. Up there in the Wilderness, the cares of Humanity are far away. Let my last act be a shutter-click lightning-strike: a crack through which my spirit may slip from this world into the next. Let my last word be “Freedom!“ Experimental composite – Digital double-exposure.
