Yesterday I was wandering around downtown Calgary looking at architecture, which is something I haven't done in a few years. Some of the buildings that I went into I haven't visited in over 10 years. It was interesting to see how much was the same and what had changed after all of this time. Here are a few of the 150 images that I came home with. None of these are intentional camera movement or multiple exposure images. Shocking, I know.

The image on the left is my favorite from a colour and abstract point of view and the image on the right is a favorite because the stars aligned and it just happened and I was lucky enough to capture it.

I have mentioned the Hintology magazine before. They have started a Voxpop series interviewing nine different abstract photographers in each on line issue. I had the honor of being asked to be part of Voxpop #5: "On Metaphors". Please have a read if you are interested in being introduced to other abstract photographers or why I do what I do.

Alberta Culture Days are celebrated in September with multiple events around the province. If you live in the Calgary, the Alberta Society of Artists is holding their Artist's Choice Show from Sept. 7 - Oct. 28th. The opening will be on Sept. 22 from 4-7pm. Also they used my image for the poster this year. Hopefully I will see you at the opening.

On Sept. 21 the Earls restaurant chain will open a new location in Calgary at South Centre. This new location will include art from about 50 artists living in the city. I have to say that I very impressed that a restaurant would buy that much original art to fill this new space and very honoured that they included me. They chose this image of downtown Calgary.

For the month of October I will be trying something new. As a member of Abstract's Art Collective we will be having our first online exhibition in collaboration with ARTWRK. During this month, curated works from 14 members will be on display. Starting Oct. 1 you will be able to see the work that is for sale at ARTWRK.
