On a misty and overcast June 2006 morning, I set out for a walk with my camera along the boardwalk that is a prominent and well-used feature of Toronto's eastern Beach community. Many geese inhabit this part of the Lake Ontario shoreline, and on this morning the commuter traffic turned out to be rather heavy.

This is one of those shots that you can't anticipate but must recognize quickly when it presents itself. I had noticed how the lighting that morning rendered the lake and the sky in almost the same tones, with the delineation of the horizon aided by a thin band of mist.

Full-time marketing & business development consultant, part-time photographer, lifetime lover of photography. I love to explore. Whether I'm exploring the world or in and around Toronto, I like to explore with my camera. Many things catch my eye, including nature, landscapes, cityscapes, abstracts and people, but my favourite discoveries are often moments. As I walk, I keep my camera ready, adjusting settings as I go for changing light conditions, or in anticipation of a moment unfolding ahead of me. These moments can be fleeting and I like to be ready when they are.
