Prairie Flower Pot

A beautiful old wreck west of Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba. If anyone knows of any other old cars like this feel free to send me directions!

Path to Enlightenment

This is a small inari shrine in Suizenji Jojuen Garden in Kumamoto. It's rated as one of the top gardens in Japan and is well worth a visit. When shot in infrared the red torii gates turn bright white.

Yellow

I hate the cold, so during the winter I stay inside a lot but I still want to take some photos. I used a macro lens and some extension tubes to get really close to the centre of this flower.

Balance

This was taken on a trip from Chile to Bolivia to see the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flats. I liked how these two flamingos were standing on the opposite leg of the other.

Follow the Path

This is Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto in the evening when the lights come on. This place has been "discovered" so I would recommend going really early or pretty late if you want to have a peaceful experience here (not to mention getting some photos).

The Eternal Buddha

There was an entire wall of these little statues in a monastery in Penang, Malaysia. I know the shot isn't technically abstract, but I thought the repeating pattern made it qualified, in a way.

Old Ford

This is an old Ford I found while driving back from Algonquin Park, Ontario. I shot this in infrared and used the brush tool in Lightroom to remove the colour everywhere but the truck.

Polar Bear 3

Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Even though they look cute and playful, you don't want to play with a polar bear.

Break and Enter

This looked like the tree had slowly broken through the window and left the window frame lying on the floor.

Plymouth Detail

A shot of the trunk area of an old Plymouth I found rusting away on an abandoned farm. I like the contrast of green and pink in this shot.

Infrared Plymouth

I tried to get some nice shots of the last rays of sunset hitting the car but I wasn't happy with the results that day. I switched to my infrared camera and wide angle lens for an interesting composition close to the camera. With the low light it was a long exposure. I had to try a couple shots as infrared light is a different length than regular light so focus can be a bit off if you don't compensate.

Relic

An old car just passing the time at the edge of a field in Saskatchewan.

Trouble Under the Hood

I found this old truck while exploring south western Manitoba near the U.S. border. A lightning storm was approaching and after photographing for a few more minutes I had to return to the car for safety reasons. I got stuck in a pretty rough storm, and I was nervous because a tornado had just gone through the area a couple days before.

Snowfall

This was taken outside of a museum in Montreal, Canada. I saw these snow covered tables from inside and went to take some photos after I was finished looking around the museum. This was a bit of a trial because it was getting dark, so I had to use a tripod, the snow was really deep (going into my boots), and it was about -30 Celsius. My hands got pretty frozen but it was such a unique scene that I feel it was worth it.

Rooted in Angkor

This shot took me a long time to capture; there were endless amounts of Asian tourists that not only needed a photo of themselves in front of the tree making the peace sign with their hands, but they all needed to be in the shot individually. This was my favourite temple at Angkor as they have partially restored it but they have left many of the large trees that are slowly reclaiming the temple for the jungle. I believe they used this temple for parts of the movie Tomb Raider.

Ta Prohm, Angkor

This was my favourite temple at Angkor as they have partially restored it but they have left many of the large trees that are slowly reclaiming the temple for the jungle. I believe they used this temple for parts of the movie Tomb Raider.

Jungle Reclamation

An "out of the way" temple at the Angkor complex near Siem Reap, Cambodia. I don't remember the name. These roots were amazing.

Parked

This is an old car I found while driving back home from Vermont. Shot in infrared but I kept the colour in the sky.

Izakaya

An izakaya is a small pub/restaurant found all over Japan. This one is a standing only location that I passed when walking back to my hotel after leaving Akihabara, Tokyo.

Himeji Heron

This is a grey heron perched on a rooftop of a house near Himeji Castle in Japan. I like this ruffled feather/raised leg shot more than the more regular position one that I have. Plus, the bird perched in a perfect spot to show off the unique roof tiles on Japanese houses.
