Waiting III
The three figures at the end of the dock are the focal point of this image. I took it on a misty and grey day in late August 2016 while walking past the cottages at the Winnipeg Beach. The three people in the image are waiting for something, or maybe just looking into the distance contemplating their day - there is no answer, just a question.

Waiting I
I took this photo while walking along Lake Winnipeg in late August 2016. The morning was uncharacteristically drab, misty, and grey for a summer day, yet it was filled with calm and peace. When I saw this dock, I really wanted to capture this feeling of quiet waiting, of looking into the distance to find something or somebody.

Waiting II
Rainy, drab and grey morning on the shore of Lake Winnipeg near Winnipeg Beach. Three friends are standing at the end of the dock looking into the distance. I think this image tells the story of quiet waiting and contemplation.

Power Lines in Blizzard II
This photo is one of the series of images taken during a blizzard that hit Manitoba in December of 2016. The temperature plummeted below -30C, the hauling winds were merciless on me and my gear - my fingers were numb trying to focus a lens that was almost completely frozen and I could barely able to see through the viewfinder because of the tears running from my eyes and caused by the lashing tiny icy needles whipped up by the wind. But in the end I had this image - it was worth it!

Power Lines in Blizzard I
Manitoba is known for its frigid winters and expansive prairies. I really wanted to somehow incorporate that into a single image. This photo was taken during a blizzard in December of 2016. The temperature was below -30C with hauling winds that were merciless on me and my gear - my fingers were numb trying to focus a lens that was almost completely frozen and I could barely able to see through the viewfinder because of the tears running from my eyes and caused by the lashing tiny icy needles whipped up by the wind. But in the end I had this image - it was worth it!

Three Barns
Safe Harbor I
At the end of March 2017, I was driving with a friend through the Zeeland province of the Netherlands. It is a very sparsely populated province in the country and the roads were quiet and deserted on that spring morning. This photo was taken while exploring the Grevelingenmeer, basically a massive inlet created by the massive Delta Works to protect the southwestern part of the Netherlands from flooding. These rocks trailing off into the distance exemplify the persistence of Dutch men and women over many centuries living next to the vast ocean and finding peace and safety there.

Cottages I
I found this row of identical cottages just a couple of kilometers from the village of Wissenkerke in southwestern part of the Netherlands. I stayed in the village with my friend and we spent our days exploring the areas around. We were there in early spring, during the offseason, and most places were very quiet and almost deserted - no tourists, no bustle and hustle of the warm summer says. The absence of people make these cottages into sentinels of the small sand dunes and the sea on the other side. I think these cottages represented more of what was then what will be.

Safe Harbor II
A lonely light post at the end of the wave breaker in the southwestern province of the Netherlands. The place is sparsely populated and, sometimes, feels almost deserted, especially in the offseason of early spring. I think this light post, unused during the day, is an example of how the whole area around it is waiting for action, is quiet in anticipation of the tourists that will descend on the beaches and small towns of the Zeeland province interrupting the calm till the fall when everything again will doze off in milky slumber.

Convergence I
The late afternoon sun added strong diagonal shadows that "connected" the piles under the pier and created an ethereal ladder for the eye to move into the center of the image. Do you find yourself trying to make out the details of the distant point where individual pier elements converge? That is what inspired me to take this shot.
