LA NUEVO COSTA

This shot is of La Neuvo Costa in Burlington, right on Brant Street. I had a surprise birthday here one year and it's a really classy restaurant.

If you are a wine connoisseur then check this place out, they have a glass wine 'cellar' that is pretty sick.

ERROR: USER FRUSTRATION

My good friend in Ottawa is a genius with computers & requested a picture of someone who is frustrated with a computer, so he can use the image on fliers to hand out around his university. Sounded fun to me. Here's what we came up with ...


Here are some other photos that turned out but weren't used for the ad.




I'm slowly figuring out how to build a website and bring it together, so far this is my final edit, I have everything working. Keep checking back to the blog to see some new projects that I have coming up.

I've been taking the time to plan out some more ... interesting shoots.
