Today the fog is back again, but with it this time it brought rain. But before it got started I did manage to get out for a little bit to take some photos of graffiti in the city. The city council has been having a very hard time dealing with individuals creating graffiti as of late. Some of the messages evoke quite a bit of emotion, such as those that I have already photographed. Perhaps these graffiti artists make certain social issues 'too' visible to mainstream society and the city wants them swept back under the rug. I have to question whether or not they have not considered embracing such talent?

Pink
Well this is the last photo I did before THE FOG came rolling in through the narrows. Apparently our summer has up and left us for the time being. Lets hope it is nice this coming weekend for a few events on schedule.

Range Rover
Well yesterday I was volunteering downtown and I managed to step out for a few minutes to do some wandering with the camera. I was going to go to Harborside park but little did I know Canada AM morning show had the area under strict security. After a small chat with them I headed off again.
I spotted this beautiful Range Rover that was a tiny bit dirty but it was still very attractive.
If you would like to contribute to Andrews piggy bank to save for such a vehicle please send money to St. John's, P.O Box... just kidding.. The owner walked up behind me just as I did this shot and was quite pleased with what we were doing downtown and with the photos I did of her vehicle.

Off the Beaten Path
Not far off the beaten path is where this shot was taken. Close to St. John's, still an ear's reach to a nearby roadway I could hear cars. It was a very overcast day and it was nice to get out to do some water shots again.

NLASW Conference
For the past two days, I have been photographing the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Social Workers provincial conference. While it was quite fruitful for photos, it was very interesting to get dynamic angles to keep the viewer interested. The photos were dumped hourly, onto an awaiting laptop for a final slideshow for conference attendees. I hope everyone enjoyed the photos that I took for the conference and I hope I have the opportunity to photograph the event next year.
I would like to thank the NLASW and its membership for the opportunity to photograph their conference. It provided a great experience to not only photograph a new type of subject, but also create relationships with social workers in the field/provide new education on therepeutic techniques.
The NLASW can be reached at the NLASW homepage.

A bit away from Photos
Hey Everyone,
I apologize to those of you who wanted photos done in the last week at the last minute. I was in Saskatoon, SK, Canada attending a Congress of Humanities. I was representing my school of social work. Clearly Saskatoon is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. The tremendous amount of green space in the city makes its it a photographers dream.
While there I was certainly enlightened on the different cultures that are in our society, namely aboriginal culture. It was the first time I had actually attending a aboriginal dance ceremony, let alone being able to converse with these people to find out more.
All in all, it was certainly a grand time. I would like to thank the Memorial University, School of Social Work for funding my trip. As well, to all the people that I met and helped my further my education.
Check out my flickr site for more photos of Saskatoon at www.flickr.com/photos/andrewedwards.

Peaking
Just a quick one. While I was volunteering downtown and helping out with the Community Youth Network, Street Reach Program, I had the opportunity to go for a little walk in the fog and light drizzle.
It was far from warm and it was too close to do dark for my liking. It was interesting the see the amount of people who were interested in that ship coming into the harbour.

Gerbers
Today I had the opporunity and the spare time to photograph some Gerber Daisies that I gave to my parntner. She loved them and surprisingly enough they have lasted almost two weeks now.
Anyway the point is the dramatic colors that came out of the photos, while using a very basic setup, were spectacular. The blues and violets are astounding I think.
There are more in the gallery on my site. www.andrewedwdardsphotography.ca

Stephanie
May 5, 2007. Meet Stephanie. A very photogenic female on the verge of her university career. No this is not a dating service, but I have to say she is probably the most photogenic person you will ever meet.
On her prom day/night she wanted ease and simplicity. Which is exactly what I offer to my clients. The setup, shoot and teardown was done in an hour and a half with the help of my lovely assistant.
Just a note: do not ever let me around a table full of decorative lives as they may end up on the floor by accident.. heh .

Naveen
Naveen! Look at the Camera! And this is what I got. Naveen was first a subject of mine a little over a year ago. At 4-5 days old, Naveen had his first professional photos taken of him while he was a tad bit over 6 pounds and cute as a button.
Today when I saw him I was completely amazed at how much he has grown up. And talk about smart! This little guy is a shoe in to be a doctor. He has his own anatomy down already!
I am super glad that I got to photograph Naveen again but it is a bit saddening that he will be moving to Toronto, Canada in a few weeks. Hopefully I will get to do some more photos of him in the future.
Cute huh?

Signal Hill Light Streaks
Today was pretty exciting. While driving this morning the weather person on the radio said we were suppose to have +15 celcuis temperatures today. So, I started to plan out some shots that I could bare being outside for.
This shot was one of them. The nice weather created a very pleasing sunset that St. John's, Newfoundland residents were flocking to see. Signal Hill provides a popular outlook over the city and the western setting sunlight.

Guitar and Amp
Today I had the opportunity to photograph an Epiphone Les Paul and a Crate GT212. It was fun to do I must say and working out the lighting to get this shot was fun. It is funny how much trouble curved surfaces can be when your on the clock.
All in all it was a good time. If you want a shot like this or of anything else contact me at info@andrewedwardsphotography.ca

LIL-Brudder
I just noticed this photo that my brother took while we were out shooting last August. It was a pretty nice day for seascape shots I must say. I was frantically trying to stay still in the 40+ km/hr winds while capture a bit of movement in the surf.
The photo was taken close to Cape Spear, Newfoundland. It was walking distance from the road. If you are ever out that way be careful of the cliffs. The edge may appear solid, but they can be eroded out under you where you cannot see.

Old Hospital
I have been wondering where this old hospital was for quite some time now and I never had the time until now. There was a worker there from the city who said I was probably alright going in, but without a re-breather/respirator and permission I did not want to be tempting my health of my freedom for that matter.
It is quite an interesting old building. It resembles something out of an old horror film. Just by looking in through the lower open doorway you can see the old brick walls that resemble the inside of an old fashioned fireplace.
It is too bad there are not more of these places in my vicinity to photograph. If you know of any shoot me an email at info@andrewedwardsphotography.ca
