Boston 2012
I’ve been to Boston a few times in the past, but this is the first time I came over as an adult. Normally, I would come visit family in Needham, but this time, it was for business, so why not try to make this an experience that I can actually remember! This time around, I…

- ISO: 400
- Shutter Speed: 1/13 s

An earlier blog I wrote about my New Years experience visiting such a bustling metropolis. Hong Kong is unlike most cities western people would have ever experienced. The last time I was here, it was around 1979 and I was only about 4 years of age. Since then, I had never gone back….until 2014. There’s…

- Shutter Speed: 1/50 s
- Focal Length: 4.1mm
- Camera: C6603
This time, my travels took me back to London for work. The problem was that all the hotels were booked, so I had to go a little further out of the area than I had wanted to. It’s really not that much further and when I think about it, the new hotel I found is…
Hamachi Steakhouse Halifax, Ns Review Sept 2013
In Sept 2013 I made the trip to Halifax (my Alma Mater), to see old friends. They took me out to this great place by the water called the Hamachi Steakhouse. I heard about it before, but had never gone. Since I moved to Europe, my trips have been rather sparse to the east coast. The interior was…
Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity House Renovation 2013
It’s June 2014 right now, so to give you the low down on how it all began….It started with a lot of moving around of internal house stuff. Taking old stuff our, throwing other things away and planning to replace pretty much all the cabling inside and adding new features….more up to date features like…

If you’re not into French Culture or the language, you’re missing out because deep within France’s wine country, you’ll come across an absolutely beautiful spectacle. Just outside of Belville (there’s a lot of Bellville’s in France), north of Lyon (35 min approx), you will come across a quaint romantic hideaway, that upon first glance, was something…

For those that know me, I celebrate New Years in a different country every year. it used to be city, but there are way too many in the world. If I do it by country, I’ll get a lot more ground covered. hey, you only live once; might as well experience as much as…
Brick Lane Restaurant Review – Sheraz
- Aperture: f/4.6
- ISO: 400
- Shutter Speed: 1/8 s
- Focal Length: 25mm
- Camera: DMC-G10
For those that aren’t aware, Brick Lane is a very old part of town dating back centuries, if not more. The region/area has been re-gentrified to a point where in the 80’s, you could give away property, but now, you can’t buy it. It’s REALLY expensive to live whether you are renting or buying. On…
First London Trip – May 2008
- ISO: 1600
- Shutter Speed: 1/400 s
- Camera: NIKON D700
It does sound weird, but up until a few years ago, I had never stepped foot in the UK. Well, that would be a little white lie, however, I don’t count airports! You would think that after living in Europe since late 2003, it would not take me another 5 years to get…
Toronto 2013 (Aug-Sept)

Sorry for the long time between posts. I have been traveling and should have updated my blog at that time, but if you now me, then you know I am a master procrastinator! Anyway, I usually travel back home to Toronto once or so a year. I’ve been living away from home for about 10…
