A common sight (and/or sound) here in Canada is the nightly snow removal team.
I used the opportunity to capture some interesting sights and lights!


We made Chocolate Cake Pops in prep for Valentine’s Day!
How romantic and delicious, cake on a stick
And for your viewing pleasure, the elusive double cake pop!

What a nice gift idea, even if you choose to treat yourself! Send me an email or contact me via the blog’s contact form if you’re interested.
I’m rather taken with the capabilities of my new smartphone, which can shoot sorta-ok quality video. Also, since it’s most always on hand, it makes shooting clips so easy.
Moreso, I’ve been smitten with Youtube these past oh, years, watching with an amused look on my face as its world evolved onwards and more content was added. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I should give back in a way, as over the years I’ve learned so much from all the assorted videos I’ve watched.
So I’ve decided to start doing little vlogs from time to time about all sorts of things. I guess they’ll be a bit of a Meagan show, following along with some of the cool things I do, crossing all sorts of genres along the way.
Here’s a recent video in which I evaluate some of my food photography shots for their final use in a new website.
I’m a big fan of CreativeLive’s business model – have a free livestream during the recording weekend and sell replays at variable rates. In my experience the result is a great quality piece of informative work that provides enough capital to continue its mission of enriching others through more accessible knowledge.
This month they are having a series of classes, and one in particular caught my eye: Setting Up a Home Studio with John Cornicello.
Just last night I was wanting to take part in some indoor food photography of a delicious homecooked meal, but lack of light prevented me from taking any shots. “I need a lightbox,” I muesd to no one in particular… Turns out I was speaking to the CreativeLive Gods, as they have blessed me with the knowledge I so very need!
I’ve taken to taking notes during watching the lectures. It reminds me of school in the best of ways: trying to capture the raw dissemination of knowledge with your net of pen and words. The thrill of the hunt, I guess.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn about making and using a home photography studio, consider visiting the CreativeLive free streaming page on January 10th between 12 and 530pm. Even just five minutes of listening in will give you a tidbit of knowledge to make you into a better photographer!
