Summer Doldrums

This is what happens when you get really busy - the blog slides! These two photos are from a walk along Toby Creek in Invermere this morning ...

I'm currently working almost-full time at the top Canadian birdwatching tour operator in Windermere (Eagle-Eye Tours) ... this is my year round job that I count on to help us get the bills paid. Its a great place to work as my boss is super-relaxed about hours as long as the job gets done ... to say nothing of offering me an Arctic cruise fam trip when I'd only been at the company a few weeks! (I leave in about 10 days on this bucket-list trip).

I'm also working part time for Kyla Brown Photography, assisting both in the office and on shoots - mostly weddings (every Saturday this summer is booked!), engagement shoots, and family shoots. Kyla is incredibly generous not only with offering me the paid work, but in sharing her knowledge of photography - technical, business, post processing, no questions are off limits.

Due to this work load, I have or will be missing every event that I'd really like to shoot this summer ... triathlons, hang- and para-gliding, downhill and cross country mountain biking, marathons, etc ... but that's the price I'm willing to pay ... this year, anyway!

So that's my excuse for it being about a month since my last post! I have been adding odd photos to my portfolio, though, so keep an eye on the site as its growing slowly!
