People were amazing and so supportive. Off to Winnipeg it was, touched down and felt the warmth of the photography community immediately. With a core group of photographers taking Davide Greene and myself out for dinner and drinks both nights all I can say is thank you so much! You have no idea what a great time we have had. Hundreds of emails, facebook messages and phone calls in support of the tour. We landed in Calgary a few hours ago and I finally got to talk to my family! By far the best part of my week! Now it's off to bed as we have a big day ahead of us. I'll leave you with some powerful words to think about.<br /><br />"Opinions mean nothing if the truth isn't a popularity contest."<br /><br />The images below are all from our Winnipeg trip. Davide getting money from a late arrival, two participants which were great at modeling for us, a happy couple who introduced themselves to me (had a great chat with them) as well as our view from the hotel....thanks Winnipeg! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ica_OuHg9a6bpD631LsxITfOx_SC_ujwen_CAfxT5LLA-zM5aquNwqZzYOvlI-CTX2SzraDsGGBDpiLZR63UV2jHUODH24sE12e1jUJ8MJczMcNikplvCPJ97vK4pX93rIZIFnqtJCA2/s1600-h/-8-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ica_OuHg9a6bpD631LsxITfOx_SC_ujwen_CAfxT5LLA-zM5aquNwqZzYOvlI-CTX2SzraDsGGBDpiLZR63UV2jHUODH24sE12e1jUJ8MJczMcNikplvCPJ97vK4pX93rIZIFnqtJCA2/s320/-8-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250183031476899730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsFcSwSeqP7ZqHYLAqe4tUTDEw9zr9dM8dE6vHEMbcmmfO74dLG16UGYTC5N4rfKkgogWzP4hzad5NvNvGm9ZtodGS1llco24aC2FXKDBZ41iTaWsm2Ae_BbvUPAvbB1k07XhzJFU6VTjS/s1600-h/-11-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsFcSwSeqP7ZqHYLAqe4tUTDEw9zr9dM8dE6vHEMbcmmfO74dLG16UGYTC5N4rfKkgogWzP4hzad5NvNvGm9ZtodGS1llco24aC2FXKDBZ41iTaWsm2Ae_BbvUPAvbB1k07XhzJFU6VTjS/s320/-11-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250183035982582786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNhzoOjljTWOrbUkm4lcYBxkm2eZloIA4gM8-6gdaFux-1UKpwxpN9XceFOnyJgjBiibYQQ_A3VQlo9feVqu_Fe1znXq1HcLDcGJQT990dKOxpuugDUaQ9h29sfbCHntT-QliHxszK1WdS/s1600-h/-17-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNhzoOjljTWOrbUkm4lcYBxkm2eZloIA4gM8-6gdaFux-1UKpwxpN9XceFOnyJgjBiibYQQ_A3VQlo9feVqu_Fe1znXq1HcLDcGJQT990dKOxpuugDUaQ9h29sfbCHntT-QliHxszK1WdS/s320/-17-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250183037348082546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbaf9Hj9ylrvdF4tnxUjIgA1czsn4Ddjkg6jFjZLGz9wZdoqFNqBdMBHe2WDkjvqsNSxWFGHJ3Be6CVQEimTUM7p4qFczonH3kvFmzDX0f5eFV7DQSGIaz95miG8yUQ4XWdhLmoI5qE4p/s1600-h/-24-4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbaf9Hj9ylrvdF4tnxUjIgA1czsn4Ddjkg6jFjZLGz9wZdoqFNqBdMBHe2WDkjvqsNSxWFGHJ3Be6CVQEimTUM7p4qFczonH3kvFmzDX0f5eFV7DQSGIaz95miG8yUQ4XWdhLmoI5qE4p/s320/-24-4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250183036478065554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBo7340tLhEsXU76I8CETGFO5Lg6xND9HXsZ5Ws44181B2FNfXnupEhuPJZye0PfE32aiFDl_5OZpvrDy0n4EdqEq3VvlK9N_xh7tlqNMX3P00s3LZKrZwBwExdzmnquTZ_WuXZ0Vy3zA/s1600-h/-40-5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBo7340tLhEsXU76I8CETGFO5Lg6xND9HXsZ5Ws44181B2FNfXnupEhuPJZye0PfE32aiFDl_5OZpvrDy0n4EdqEq3VvlK9N_xh7tlqNMX3P00s3LZKrZwBwExdzmnquTZ_WuXZ0Vy3zA/s320/-40-5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250183039791109346" /></a>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-61214934871366029252008-09-16T01:06:00.003-04:002008-09-18T01:26:49.737-04:00Craft Your Success MontrealWell we finally got here. Our flight from Halifax got cancelled an then they only had room for David Jay and I on the flight in the evening. So Davide Greene was left behind for the night as DJ and I took a flight from Halifax to Ottawa, Ottawa to Toronto and then finally Toronto to Montreal. West Jet lost our two big speakers as well. Oh and then as we get to the hotel we found out they gave up our room....thanks Quality Inn Downtown! It only about 1:30 am and we haven't slept in what feels like days :) Hey that's now in the past and the seminar day is here! I took out everyone to do a live photoshoot and they were great! The group was super friendly and very welcoming. Special thanks to Vick of http://www.prizmaproductions.com/ for all the great photos of the interior of the W Hotel and of me :) Thanks Vick!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrcbqP780EGNp0DAx4B004R8nr_5pfuXHZNF7328NnIHNoxTQKBSwZImQcL-K8fexBsySszHBRyT_MTvYFMo7d_6q08V_GdeiOzYFyKHa-QCHAKK_gR_8MSfa5jo6jLPXMp1OoYQ6vfsy/s1600-h/-26-30.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Thanks Dane. I truly believe this video. I'm always telling people, if you don't fail, your not living and you can't grow as a person. The most successful people in this world are people who have failed the most. The only thing I'd change is the word "fail", it sounds so negative. I don't believe in failure just "results". Not all of them are positive as first but if thought about all results end up becoming positive as they in turn shape who we are and what we will become. Food for thought so please check out this video.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y6hz_s2XIAU&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y6hz_s2XIAU&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-20755882504106318172008-05-04T23:02:00.003-04:002008-05-04T23:23:48.335-04:00The Four F'sThe other day I mentioned that I wanted to share with you some things I've learn't over the years that have made me who I am as a family man and business man. I read this great book called the Greatness Guide. In it the author Robin Sharma talks about the four f's. I can relate to this in every way. These are four of the steps that I truly believe will help "guide someone to greatness". The first f is for Fear....fear is what I really believe stops everyone from gaining greatness in life. Control it and the skies the limit. The next is Failure...everyone fails in some sort of way. I personally don't believe in failure, just results. Now the results may not be the ones I'm looking for but with every result is a lesson. With every lesson comes a learning experience. Don't fear failure, learn from it and thank it for teaching you. The third f is Forgetting...this is a big one. How many of us have gone to a workshop or had a real deep conversation with someone and once it's over your ready to chance the world. Only to see in a few days or weeks that we are back to our old ways and feel rejected before we get started. Take realistic steps each day to ensure your on the track you want to be on. Then remind yourself everyday what you want and keep it fresh in your mind. The final f is for Faith...as Bon Jovi once said "keep the faith". Faith and the belief in yourself will take you much future then you could ever expect. I look back over the years and I've been blessed to have a lot of great very supportive people in my life. But not that long ago I said I wanted to open a business. Well let's just say I had a few people tell me I wasn't playing with a full deck of cards. Now a few years later my business has sky rocketed and I'm meeting all kinds of amazing people. All this to say that once you believe in yourself, over come fear of failure and don't forget what's important to you, your one step closure to person wealth and success. All the best.

I'm going to share with you my experience after speaking at a local seminar. For everyone that knows me, this won't be a surprise but for those that are new to my blog or have never met me you are going to find out something new about me and I really hope you can learn something to use in your personal life. I'm I huge fan and follower of leadership coaches like Anthony Robbins and Robin Sharma. Recently I was asked to speak at a seminar in front of the Professional Photographers of Canada Eastern Location group. During the 3+ hours they generously allotted for me I took the time to share with this great group of photographers my personal beliefs on why I feel I've been so blessed in personal and business life. The seminar organizer asked that I speak on how I've been able to organize a very successful business well maintaining a wonderful personal life full of freedom and happiness. I took this task into two parts. First, how and why I've been able to gain personal wealth and secondly how to gain freedom in your business. I really think that both go hand in hand. Unfortunately I think that most people don't take time for themselves to gain what leaderships coaches call person wealth. When I started my company I did what I think a lot of use tend not to do. I made sure I covered what I believe to be the basic fundamentals traits to instant success. I'd like to share them with you now. So over the next few days I'm going to post some of what I've learnt over the years and what I truly believe has lead me to not only become a better father and family man but also as a successful business man.Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-18306352341165559212008-03-04T14:05:00.003-05:002008-03-04T14:10:53.435-05:00Friends of the Ottawa Hospice Charity EventMe again, I'm so excited!

Then got upset when I turned the camera on her mom and dad and not her.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMas2da1oaBiwg0fkw37d2dVdouVFgsSOCZqhXiIlAB4yV4KrlxRgOchYBls3W1zL9mFInDweTImBBu712qQMs5g1Or82t9ViRnH5JcGqwtOgJ1t55VqJmzJwyv-cpxPG6_3151Vt-cOs/s1600-h/01-23.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMas2da1oaBiwg0fkw37d2dVdouVFgsSOCZqhXiIlAB4yV4KrlxRgOchYBls3W1zL9mFInDweTImBBu712qQMs5g1Or82t9ViRnH5JcGqwtOgJ1t55VqJmzJwyv-cpxPG6_3151Vt-cOs/s320/01-23.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163928682424180434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8U593aWkAQPD8RBfnkqUX3-1OstlFlWv_5F2zmjRiCgVn8k-CYlzTGloRcB8pbNZB88_swbJK791LFwIaUulrRl8Pr4BHP6yMmkbX9zV0L9pU7JiUkCX2uqdSKG4p5D-5J4-3qA8aFok/s1600-h/01-8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8U593aWkAQPD8RBfnkqUX3-1OstlFlWv_5F2zmjRiCgVn8k-CYlzTGloRcB8pbNZB88_swbJK791LFwIaUulrRl8Pr4BHP6yMmkbX9zV0L9pU7JiUkCX2uqdSKG4p5D-5J4-3qA8aFok/s320/01-8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163925555687988914" /></a>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-64275282635843011242008-02-05T14:05:00.000-05:002008-02-05T14:13:33.771-05:00True Inspiration...the Lee Thomas StoryToday I came across this video of a Detroit reported Lee Thomas a African American man who was diagnosed with vitiligo, a condition that robs the skin of its pigment.

Yesterday I finally got my long awaited spinal surgery. I must say my doctor , Dr. E. Wai is a amazing person. Not only can I feel my left leg and toes again but I have very minor pain as of now.

What a blast, for the past month she's been telling us it's a secret what songs she's going to be singing. Well, it's not easy being a four year old with a secret so every time she got excited (about twice a day) she began singing her songs. Very cute if you ask me! So yesterday she had her big day, the moment of truth. It was great, you could tell she was nervous but once the show started all the kids did great. The occasional missed word, louder voices then the rest and of course all together stop singing to wave to mom, dad and little brother Myles but it sounded perfect to me! Great job babe!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1jWi_Dm-gMtEJF_kt2iYq9AB_x3EHZMwLTT04RnauqWyC1jKuCzpyXwQEkRrNcDb63O7nZV7K6cTzQPL-IVFLDYnXJUJLHWe7aqdmAior67qWR-7DiP6J2h7ign5QKkJDwfgWij6XTGnM/s1600-h/DSC_6028-2-13.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1jWi_Dm-gMtEJF_kt2iYq9AB_x3EHZMwLTT04RnauqWyC1jKuCzpyXwQEkRrNcDb63O7nZV7K6cTzQPL-IVFLDYnXJUJLHWe7aqdmAior67qWR-7DiP6J2h7ign5QKkJDwfgWij6XTGnM/s320/DSC_6028-2-13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144274901665285874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1DoJ6TCRw-WZmp4QjwcW6rmkD3AumAg4nKEPqmyk625UUyEkGhA0vy2D3KskX8sCi4AzxPsutF8_kpwgkLyGMqECH4JTnNr0DLH4K-2JyRspE45h64CCkpwSXbYqwx3uC6LKXR6jGlDo3/s1600-h/DSC_6035-2-20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1DoJ6TCRw-WZmp4QjwcW6rmkD3AumAg4nKEPqmyk625UUyEkGhA0vy2D3KskX8sCi4AzxPsutF8_kpwgkLyGMqECH4JTnNr0DLH4K-2JyRspE45h64CCkpwSXbYqwx3uC6LKXR6jGlDo3/s320/DSC_6035-2-20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144273329707255522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pae8e6-reW0uR1JeXpBrYO4obJnW1nWwHdpJt2gDIjyVhapArw2eCFiqstAQ_lNA6PH7GFIT9I88aw0YoTomSXSk2f63jNaT8PvtIgNu_aUvjXgwjVzw0sXo-ttySow5VLsw0p0NuWvM/s1600-h/DSC_6032-2-17.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pae8e6-reW0uR1JeXpBrYO4obJnW1nWwHdpJt2gDIjyVhapArw2eCFiqstAQ_lNA6PH7GFIT9I88aw0YoTomSXSk2f63jNaT8PvtIgNu_aUvjXgwjVzw0sXo-ttySow5VLsw0p0NuWvM/s320/DSC_6032-2-17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144272182950987474" border="0" /></a>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-34685325592399322972007-12-07T17:34:00.000-05:002007-12-07T17:47:31.369-05:00Yet another great couple to work with.I'm so blessed, this past September I shot a wedding for the Jennifer and Dean Hart. Well recently the best man from that wedding contacted me from Toronto and asked if I would shot his. This is the biggest compliment you can get in photography. Awards come and go but referrals last forever! I'm so honoured when a couple who have been to a wedding I shoot hire me for their own. Well this is no different, at Jennifer and Deans wedding I met this great couple. I recently met up with them to shot their engagement photos. I think It was about -30, I thought my hand was going to freeze to the camera! I'm so glad that this couple agree with my dislike of snow...we only shot a few outside before going in.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVAFsSWagA6EH4M2X1g5PAxUXVOmVVBN5pNbk6jbg6N6w32Zos4pttgYsGjSLNkDuQZ5ixfy0GrEsidw7mRYkIS2pk8WTA4kArKGeU7FBpZ3nxlGFz3zIHiGorWFtoNhLdVVBD12ML2SSi/s1600-h/DSC_5440+copy+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVAFsSWagA6EH4M2X1g5PAxUXVOmVVBN5pNbk6jbg6N6w32Zos4pttgYsGjSLNkDuQZ5ixfy0GrEsidw7mRYkIS2pk8WTA4kArKGeU7FBpZ3nxlGFz3zIHiGorWFtoNhLdVVBD12ML2SSi/s320/DSC_5440+copy+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141365949765475138" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5sqAGbvyxP3wHxClTHXnHVb4ldp1gw0GyxExPlrWPDWgyOv8l4-emchGAkK_cNUk0J_CZVxzgiCuzcu40QShRwYaR0_GLXsB1rIxl70ZKf2iNmWpr0fhk_1SAC_o_r2pdiHxRCaw_WfXx/s1600-h/DSC_5446+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5sqAGbvyxP3wHxClTHXnHVb4ldp1gw0GyxExPlrWPDWgyOv8l4-emchGAkK_cNUk0J_CZVxzgiCuzcu40QShRwYaR0_GLXsB1rIxl70ZKf2iNmWpr0fhk_1SAC_o_r2pdiHxRCaw_WfXx/s320/DSC_5446+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141366035664821074" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyH-pQCOLfsCxJU5W5CQK9Zr3dJfgKNP1n-XdgEMkB_0c2Sj5BGc5Q8BvsHdAqFjXis7q2Um-ES2VQbUu3BwOExYjKWz-td22m2CZPfH3gDlCgcrGuVVHdGGYuN-UNhMxGNBldFuvByNW/s1600-h/DSC_5448+%28Medium%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyH-pQCOLfsCxJU5W5CQK9Zr3dJfgKNP1n-XdgEMkB_0c2Sj5BGc5Q8BvsHdAqFjXis7q2Um-ES2VQbUu3BwOExYjKWz-td22m2CZPfH3gDlCgcrGuVVHdGGYuN-UNhMxGNBldFuvByNW/s320/DSC_5448+%28Medium%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141366052844690274" border="0" /></a>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-90121197637458466722007-12-07T16:46:00.000-05:002007-12-07T17:08:30.778-05:00Dinner and a photoLast week friends of ours invited my family and I over for dinner.

It was pretty surreal to see a friend that I've known since childhood one month away from being a mommy for the first time. It was only two years ago that I was a groomsman in her wedding and now she's about to be a mom. Life goes by so fast but rarely do we take the time to sit back and reflect on what we've done. Today that's exactly what I did. I reflected on all the great people I've be blessed to have been touched by. Two fantastic kids that are growing up to fast, a wife that has been in Florida on business for the past week but continues to call to tell me she loves me. A father that is doing much better since his near death this past March, a mother that continues to be a pillar in our family. I've got great in-laws that are so supportive and friends that are more like bothers and sisters. All this to say that I hope little Sophie is as blessed as I've been.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiibHTY4LYwNuoj5mw1CAPBXS8qch9M5V5A8hfZ3TrHBhWD9mjY5FELegWs_0fyu9yn1taPDzMBY6eFj6ZHcELgwe-aFdqmQLRsZM6jgTeDX8An1bxdF-JbabkkQSteDlLR48_44JsQ0WRc/s1600-h/DSC_5339.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiibHTY4LYwNuoj5mw1CAPBXS8qch9M5V5A8hfZ3TrHBhWD9mjY5FELegWs_0fyu9yn1taPDzMBY6eFj6ZHcELgwe-aFdqmQLRsZM6jgTeDX8An1bxdF-JbabkkQSteDlLR48_44JsQ0WRc/s200/DSC_5339.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131767833776527378" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjPCSB9T8QFLxAOCvuZ2f_RBl8zx_UMFzpnlF5347WF1DOZsG5MDclxPmABJs4sUxITSbkwgUno9BTEZ9uPY3fYuJC6jwvinv32UPhjbGHuPSNtXCv3bA5p3a4fK9RaHFhyphenhyphenDwtYOIt33F/s1600-h/DSC_5348.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjPCSB9T8QFLxAOCvuZ2f_RBl8zx_UMFzpnlF5347WF1DOZsG5MDclxPmABJs4sUxITSbkwgUno9BTEZ9uPY3fYuJC6jwvinv32UPhjbGHuPSNtXCv3bA5p3a4fK9RaHFhyphenhyphenDwtYOIt33F/s200/DSC_5348.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131767709222475778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlVaVTUPB_61PoTpI-Sa_R1nrrcDZAKsuDA4QJtNw2J93rxNNCmeU58GJY8Owmdvdx8gxUgRTjKlvLEfAtHlUTZyxx_LkA6isgkap7SPYQuqZgkJeGK9iKfXShdAmfTM9Xb9nffoGUmUP/s1600-h/DSC_5350.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlVaVTUPB_61PoTpI-Sa_R1nrrcDZAKsuDA4QJtNw2J93rxNNCmeU58GJY8Owmdvdx8gxUgRTjKlvLEfAtHlUTZyxx_LkA6isgkap7SPYQuqZgkJeGK9iKfXShdAmfTM9Xb9nffoGUmUP/s200/DSC_5350.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131771201030887458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1GVF191Pc7YPgvPnyhDjN-emTAInJ6x4qzJEIy0DxIC2y7W8jcneh2ybZ-J_xV-gd7Gv9gK2t9kMvi3LEsadaQ2Qug_MyJWSjhh7Oa6nRIMiblFGqdyrJAgPoHaftcSbBmicaKHnVe4C/s1600-h/DSC_5331-2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1GVF191Pc7YPgvPnyhDjN-emTAInJ6x4qzJEIy0DxIC2y7W8jcneh2ybZ-J_xV-gd7Gv9gK2t9kMvi3LEsadaQ2Qug_MyJWSjhh7Oa6nRIMiblFGqdyrJAgPoHaftcSbBmicaKHnVe4C/s200/DSC_5331-2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131777914064771122" border="0" /></a>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508113987588870487.post-27731177044916679752007-10-16T16:00:00.000-04:002007-10-29T11:02:56.336-04:00Calabogie Peaks WeddingWell last night I was thrilled to be able to shoot the wedding of two high school friends, Casey and Kelly. About a year again they approached me with the idea of me shooting their wedding. Wedding photography can be a stressful day at the best of times. Add to that two people that you grew up with and know about 80% of the people in attendance. I think for the first time I got really nervous. It was kind of like when I shoot my first wedding. The funny thing was these are two of the most kind and relaxed people going. Well the wedding was beautiful and it was great to see so many old friends. It felt like a school reunion wedding...if that makes any sense?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.michaelandersonphotography.ca/slumkoski">click to view video</a>Michael Anderson Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185463234535849168noreply@blogger.com
