Snow storms in Toronto are about the most attractive time of the winter. It's a great time for longer lenses with hoods that keep them dry. This won a ribbon at one of my club's clinics, w ...

The Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas, with New York New York in the background. This won a ribbon in the 2007/8 Print Clinic in my club, surprising many people, myself included.
