UPCOMING WILD HORSE TRIP IN THE WORKS

Since the weather has been relatively positive with above average high's here in Alberta, I am planning on going on a Wild Horse trip sometime this month. But having learned my lesson from last winter with a few very close calls, I will need to bring someone along with me. If you are interested in going to photograph the Alberta wild horses in the snow, let me know! :)

I managed to get this beauty a couple days ago as I was passing through Bragg Creek, Alberta. He was in my relatively close slights for a whole 15 seconds or so before he took off haha.

SNEAK PEAK TO MY UPCOMING WALL ART SIZES

Just a sneak peak, the sizes have been determined for my IPS (wall art service). I will be offering IPS in these 5 sizes in both frame (custom and conventional) and canvas.

12"x18"
20"x30"
24"x36"
30"x45"
40"x60"

I wanted to keep it simple but at the same time offer enough variety to cater to any client's needs. 12"x18", 20"x30" and 24"x36" are great sizes for just about any room including bedrooms, while 30"x45" and 40"x60" are sizes that you often see in museums, art halls, galleries, dining halls, large living room setups with potential high ceilings, etc. They are huge, especially that 40"x60"! All of these sizes would for sure look fantastic in pretty much any horse barn.

Next I will be going over framing styles (not frames), framing styles.

VERY ACCURATE QUOTE I CAME ACROSS

This is one of the best quotes that I have seen in a long long time so I thought I would pass it on. Agree 100%, so true. Quality comes at a price, it's as simple as that. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO LISA BAUER!

I have just drawn for the winner!!!

Congratulations to Lisa Bauer for winning my surprise gift contest that began on November 17. You have won a private photography or videography lesson (2 hours) with me. I will contact you to arrange a time and day.

PHOTO SUBMISSION MADE TO STANDARDBRED CANADA

I have submitted one of my photos for Standardbred Canada's Media Excellence Awards, which will be presented at the 2018 30th Annual O'Brien Awards Ceremony.

Which photo of mine did I submit? Well this photo was published in the media along the east coast of Canada back in May of this year.

It's funny how things work out at times, I took this photo during the same visit as the photo that got chosen for the 2019 Standardbred Calendar.

Wish me luck! :)

SHOW ME YOUR SANTA HAT /CHRISTMAS PICTURES!

Show me your Santa hat /Christmas pictures. :)
Want one for that frame or to send to family? Christmas pictures available now, have them ready for this Christmas as I am booking now for Equine Portraiture sessions on certain days throughout the month of December.

I know that 2018 has been a very tough year for many Albertan's and especially with the severe hay shortages, weak economy, I understand that getting pictures done right now just isn't in the budget for many. But I would like to make the most out of the situation and still make many people happy come Christmas time with their horses.

MORE INFO ON MY UPCOMING IPS SERVICE

Just diving a bit more in detail about my IPS service launching in Q1 of 2019. I don't see this as prints, I see it as wall art and I will be offering it in two formats: (1) Canvas (2) Customized framing.

The customized framing is what I am most excited about because this is where horse lovers and owners can be really creative and tailor their frames exactly to their heart's content whether it reflects their horse(s) and their personalities, or an individual such as themselves.

When doing IPS I will be showcasing 4 pieces (to start) all in different sizes. These will be going with me just about everywhere so portability is very important. As for which 4 images I will be using, that is the fun part. Don't worry, all of these pictures will be showcased in some way or another, but only 4 will be showcased as wall art.

I am going to let you all decide which of these pictures will become my very first pieces of wall art. So I have selected 22 of my absolute favorite images to date and would like for you all to vote on the 4 that you would like to see blown up and have me showcase them as wall art.

You all know the drill - vote by either liking, loving or commenting the photo numbers in your post.

Let's just say that photo #1 is pretty much in the books, I love this photo so much that I am most likely going to blow this photo up regardless even if it's a fifth piece.

Thanks in advance for participating. I will run this poll until Thursday December 6.
