While I was in Calgary in December, I had the pleasure of trekking around with my camera. After googling “best places for photography in Calgary” I learned about the Rundle Ruins – the first hospital in the city. It’s located not too far from where the Calgary Flames play at the Saddledome but I had never come across it before. I spent a couple hours with my mom (who I also did a mini photoshoot with) taking in the ruins and the surrounding area.

A few days later I was hired by Pam and Sinisa to take their engagement photos in the mountains about an hour outside of the city. I had time to sneak in a few landscape shots amidst the shoot… Hope you enjoy!

At the beginning of December, I decided to visit family in Calgary but I kept it a secret from most people… It turns out that when I arrived to surprise my grandma, my mom (aka Cathy) was there to surprise me from BC! I definitely get the photography gene from her so it was nice that the two of us were able to spend some time together. And, since photographers never have many pictures of themselves, here are some of the woman behind the camera…

During my time in Calgary, I was able to spend some time with Sinisa and Pam. Fortunately for all of us, the weather was fantastic and we actually had to go into the mountains to find the snow since much of it had melted away in the city.

A huge congrats to both of these wonderful people!

A big thank you to everyone who made it out to my 3rd Annual Vernissage on Thursday. The event was a huge success and I’m already looking forward to the next one!

If you were unable to attend but are interested in viewing the remaining art, I’ve posted it here for purchase. I am also pleased to announce that within the next couple weeks, you will be able to purchase prints through the website!

Here are some of the photos from the evening – thanks to John Babcock for the photography!

Nearly two years ago now, I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon. I was visiting Phoenix, AZ at the time and did the drive out. Words cannot describe the feeling of standing along those cliff edges… Here are some of the photos I took.

I hope you can join me! Please let me know if you can make it: austin@capturedphoto.ca

I really didn’t have a lot of time to explore all the things Winnipeg has to offer (nor am I really aware of what those things are…), but I managed to explore the Forks area one afternoon. The Forks is full of so much history since this is where the Red River and Assiniboine River meet. The Museum of Human Rights is also in the area – the only national museum in Canada which is not located in Ottawa. It is quite an architectural masterpiece!

Welcome to my photo blog. Check back often to see what I’ve been up to lately – I won’t be writing much, but I can promise a lot of photos!
