We have a new addition to the family, Leo the Gecko Lizard is my son Noah’s newest pet, isn’t he cute? (We think it’s a ‘he’.)

We were taking some photos of Leo in the family room, locking Alice out via the French doors, she started pawing at the glass, wanting to get in.

I hope everyone had a nice break over the holiday season! Here are just a few images I took of Alice under the Christmas tree:

A catch-up blog posting today.

A few weeks ago I was at the iPhone 4S launch at the Eaton Centre Apple Store, a few images:

My daughter celebrating her recent birthday:

My sister’s cat, Finnegan, came to visit for Thanksgiving dinner and Rebecca’s birthday celebration. Alice was not amused, but she tolerated the visit (they look very similar, and yet different, Alice has the fluffier face).

The last Halloween parade at my son’s primary school! And look at this cute puppy! She’s a cross between Bernese Mountain dog and a miniature poodle, called a Bernedoodle. And the last one is Maddy the poodle dressed up for the day:

Here are some images I captured Halloween night:

A few images from the last two weeks.

Adorable dog in my local park:

Trip downtown to the Eaton Centre and back:

Alice has a new cat toy:

This past Sunday was cool and wet, perfect day for baking. These Molasses Cookies were delicious:

I saw a great cat photograph on Google+ which motivated me to get out with my camera on Saturday, looking for cats out and about in the neighbourhood.

I met Denise, and just love her one orange paw, isn’t she adorable?:

This is James, he lives in the same house as Denise:

I also met a puppy (+ few more cat photos):

On Sunday Noah and I headed out to do some errands, at Whole Foods, in Yorkville, and then over to Yonge Street:

Kept it light, and just took my old Canon 5D and the Canon 50 f1.4 lens:

Captured a few shots of Alice on the back deck when we returned home:

Alice turns two today! (Not that she’s in anyway aware of that fact!

So a few quick shots to commemorate her big day. (Click here to see photos from her first birthday last year.) (All of the following were taken with the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

Alice, windblown in the front hallway (opened the front door to let in the light):

Getting into mischief on the bookcase:

At the front window, and another shot from the front hallway:

I upgraded my aging MacBook Pro, and received my new MacBook Air last week. I LOVE it! It’s light and fast, a huge improvement over my 3+ years old MacBook Pro. (The following were captured with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

As I did for my iPhone 4 (see it here), I decided to create a custom Gelaskin for my MacBook Air:

I LOVE how it turned out! Gelaskins is a great company, and they are located right here in Toronto! Visit their website for more information.

Alice came along to supervise the end of the MacBook Air shoot, so I captured a few images of her as well:

Catch-up blog posting of some recent iPhoneography.

Some Toronto street photography:

A few random shots:

My still-life subject of the month

The best camera is the one you have with you, if you would like to learn how to photograph and process images on your Apple iPhone, check out my iPhoneography Workshop.

Catch-up blog posting of some of my recent iPhoneography shots. All of the following were taken and processed on the iPhone 4.

Finnegan is growing up, and is no longer a little kitten, but a young cat. So it was time for a photo update! (You can also see him here.) He looks very similar to his half-sister Alice (seen here at about the same age), but also quite different. He certainly has a boy personality!

We started in the bedroom:

Lots of fun on the bed:

We were trying to get Finn to settle down, for some sleepy shots, so we tried a little snack in the kitchen:

You can’t really tell from these images, but it didn’t work! Finnegan was running around like a loon! No snoozy shots today:
