This is a photo I took on July 1st 2017 Canada Day on Rideau St. right in front of Rideau Center. I liked the performer on Rideau in the photo with the papers he laid out as an interesting composition element in this lively photo of Canada Day 2107. I walked my Canada Day 150 journey from Cobourg St. area at around 5:00p.m. down Rideau throughout downtown and then Majors Hill park for the Fireworks viewing which started at 11:00p.m

This is a photo I took on day four at the Grand finale stage of Long-Ma spewing out fire before the huge crowd making for a fantastic scene to photograph and enjoy! The final excursion of La Machine's Ottawa 2017 signature four day event where Long-Ma and Kumo were battling it out in the streets of Ottawa. People were really captivated by the show and when Long-Ma showcased his fire light it was amazing to see! I have been taking photos for over a decade in Ottawa and this was a very memorable event to capture with camera!

This Ottawa 2017 signature event, put on by La Machine, was a four day fest that thrilled Ottawa and was a blast seeing both Long Ma and Kumo roam through the city.

I took this during the finale of the fireworks competition this summer. It was windy, cold and raining. Not the best conditions for fireworks or photography. You don't see a lot of black and white fireworks photos because everyone enjoys the mix of colours and exposures. Colour is easy, but black and white is a unique way of looking at things. We don't naturally see in black and white, so it is an abstraction of reality but infinitely more revealing. Here,I think it pulls the viewer in to consider popular landmarks and locations in a completely different way and adding a whole new sense of excitement to them.
