Mike Domanski

My best friend since I was a kid has always been Mike. Our mutual love of endless days of sports is really what brought us together and over the years the bond has only strengthened. Mike's encouragement was really what pushed me to do a lot of the things I am most proud of. Most people know Mike as the best athlete they've ever met which is true but he has also challenged me intellectually just as much over the years as he has on the ice, field or court. He is brilliant in ways he'll never realize. His kindness and selflessness are really what has made him such a great friend but his unique wit and humour are what set him apart from anyone I've ever met.

Mike has always wanted to be a model and as the best man in my wedding on the weekend I was able to snap a handful of pictures of him. Hope you like them Mike!

Emerald Lake

We spent the past couple days at Emerald Lake. Whenever I go somewhere beautiful I get excited about the challenge of how to shoot the location but its always really quickly that I realize how difficult landscape photography really is. Technically you are responsible for everything that is in the frame and you have to be so conscious of what you include and what you exclude. People who do it professionally get up early, hike into remote locations, and wait for perfect lighting in order to get their shot. I cant imagine the patience and persistence this type of photography must take. I certainly would never be able to do it but I have a lot of admiration for those who do.
