I really enjoy winter and snow photography and so this time of year is one of my favourite times to shoot. I think snow and ice offer many opportunities to get creative. Although the extreme Toronto cold means I usually can’t stay out that long before my fingers freeze…

Toronto Ice Storm 2013
Toronto’s Ice Storm 2013 did more than damage trees… the weight of the ice also broke power and telephone lines and left thousands of people without electricity on one of the coldest nights of the year. We were fortunate to have power throughout, as crews work 24 hours to restore power. The ice storm made for some beautiful photography as long as I was very careful in getting my shots. It was treacherously slippery underfoot and the last thing I wanted was to slip and fall. I was very happy to get these shots.
