A bit of a catchup blog posting, photos of Leo the lizard enjoying the recent warm weather on the deck, Alice the cat enjoying the deck too, and a few shots of my son on his birthday.

Alice the Birthday Girl: Toronto Pet Photography
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:

Finnegan is Growing Up!: Toronto Pet Photography
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:

Alice the Cat on Bed Rest: Toronto Pet Photography
Alice had an unfortunate accident last week, her left front leg got caught in a closing door. Off to the vet we went, and would have had x-rays but their machine had crashed, so we decided to wait it out (the vet was pretty sure that she didn’t have a break in the larger leg bone). Fortunately they prescribed some medication to help Alice with the pain that also has the wonderful side-effect of making her sleepy! She sleeps quite a bit, normally, but this really helped in keeping her quieter then I think she would have been otherwise.
So, since I hadn’t posted a blog posting of Alice in a while, I thought this was a good time for an update!
Settling down on the bed for a snooze:
But it’s always a good idea to start with a in depth grooming session first:
Even when she was up and about she was pretty good at keeping herself quiet, except that she would jump up to high places, and then jump down, which was not good for her injured leg! If I managed to catch her, I would lift her down, but cats are sneaky and quiet!
Thankfully she does seem to be on the mend. I gave her her last dose of meds today, so tomorrow should really tell the tale, but from the little I’ve seen of her walking around today I think she has really improved and is on the mend!
I don’t tend to be very political on my photography blog, but the recent CRTC decision to allow Usage Based Billing (UBB) on internet bandwidth has me completely outraged for all Canadians. This decision is anti-competive, stifles innovation and creativity for future endevours in the internet marketplace. This will effect all Canadians, will impact our children’s education and job prospects in the future. We, as Canadians, must stand up and be counted, that we oppose this recent CRTC decision. Here’s what you can do to help:
Sign the Petition at openmedia.ca/meter (I’m sure it will hit 250K today!)
Visit www.antiubb.com/what-can-i-do/
Follow openmedia on FaceBook, come out to a local protest against UBB (one is happening this Friday in Toronto!)
Both the NDP and the Liberals have spoken up against this decision, but we can not let up on the campaign until the decision has been formally reversed! At the very least, please sign the petition and forward it to everyone you know in Canada.
Thank you!!!!

Catching Up
A big catch-up post today! Didn’t have a chance to post anything last week, busy fitting in work for the short week with the holiday this past Monday.
All of the following were taken with the iPhone 4, except where noted (all iphoto photography is processed with apps on the iPhone 4).
Rebecca with her outfit she created at The Sewing Studio camp she attended in August, and trying out makeup for a trip to FanExpo (she ended up going much lighter on the makeup, but we sure attracted stares from drivers on Avenue Road!). Left hand column images were taken with the iPhone 4, the rest were taken with the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 85mm f/1.2L lens. (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)
Out and about with the kids, at a restaurant, downtown, local ice cream shop, at my mother’s for dinner (where Rebecca brought a friend, Noah is enjoying playing with his iPod Touch):
Have to include some shots of Alice! All but two were taken with the iPhone 4, otherwise the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens:
Last batch is just a bunch of random shots from the iPhone 4:
Off to an EatSavvy shoot tomorrow, so watch for photos and links to the recipes soon!
