The late hours at Baileys!

I am a goofball!
Mimi got some neat images of the social event at Baileys and "lost the images" in the casims of my Inbox until today.

I apologize for the lateness of these images but here they are!
Looks like an awesome evening

Model in the house... The Event ::

The Model in the house shoot last week end was phenomenal!
It was definitely one of the more challenging situations that I personally have been put in and it was awesome! Thank you Fred Elcheshen for all your work to pull this event off and make it amazing!
Here are a few of the images I captured after my turn behind the "blind" camera!
It's an amazing opportunity and I would strongly encourage all of you to come out when we do this again!

Mike Grandmason releases new book!

Greetings!

Mike's latest collection of images, "MUSKOKA", was recently published and features the incredible beauty of Ontario's cottage country region.

"MUSKOKA", is a wonderful gift for family, friends, business and corporations.
"MUSKOKA" retails for $ 45.00 (Cdn) and is available at your favorite book store and on line for quantities of 1-9 books.
ISBN-13: 978-1-55470-260-2




Stretching from the vast wilderness of Algonquin Park in the east to the windswept shores of the Georgian Bay Islands in the west, the famed District of Muskoka includes the treasured towns of Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville and the townships of Georgian Bay, Lake of Bays and Muskoka Lakes.

The handsome new coffee table book Muskoka captures the rugged beauty, pristine lakes, and charming settlements of this favoured cottage destination over four seasons. Translated from the Algonquin native language, ‘Muskoka’ means ‘land of the red earth’— unforgettable sunsets, stunning autumn tree foliage, and the region’s signature crop of cranberries—all relate back to the red earth theme and become the canvas for this keepsake photographic collection of one of Canada’s most cherished regions.
