The 50+ reunion was a great deal of fun… to those of you who missed it, make sure you get to the next one… no matter your age

I made a lot of photographs and have them posted on my Pictage account. You can see them at http://www.pictage.com/671292
please feel free to share the link with others. I didn’t take these pics to make a ton of cash, so I suggest that if you want any of the images, use the digital download feature and then get your own prints made. The prices are in US$ because that’s where the lab is. Couldn’t find the same thing in Canada (but I’m still looking). The site is very expensive to maintain. The 4$ US per download is about a break even point for me…
ENJOY. See you at the next reunion!

Well folks, this blog and all the related stuff is finally starting to take shape, at least in my head, because I am now starting to understand this cyber gobble-de-gook a little better (some days a little less than others). It’s hard when your hair turns white! I really owe my web designer a big vote of thanks for taking my hand when the quicksand was just about to engulf me. If you are into getting a photo oriented blog on the go with WordPress, then go visit James at http://big-red-couch-web-design.com/ Tell him Garth sent you.

For those of you looking for my new samples and all that good stuff, please be patient. I have just signed up with a really great web and print company (Pictage). It took me a long time to find a company that does all they do, and do it so well. It is the brain child of Gary Fong, photographer and inventor of a whole bunch of stuff. They will be hosting my online galleries where you will be able to view and/or purchase images you are interested in, whether they be weddings, portraits, special events etc. You will select the images you want, add them to your cart, and then Pictage will print them and ship them off to you directly. They will come from the United States, but there is no import duty on photographs. Because they are listed in US dollars, I will be setting my web prices lower to compensate for that difference. I would dearly love to find a Canadian company that can do all they do, but so far no luck. The closest is from Silvano Imaging in Toronto, but even theirs is an American subcontractor. Oh well, at least it’s not “made in china”. I have nothing against the Chinese folks, but I sure do have a gripe against all the junk they are contracted to build and then we throw into our land fill sites in two months.

Although you are at garthwunsch.com, this is just the gathering place for several web domains of mine. www.avenuetwelvephotography.ca lives here ( www.a12p.ca for short). It is the home of my wedding and portrait business.
www.landscapes-north.com is my Fine Art site and it will eventually move in here too. For now, if you would like to browse my Fine Art images, please click on over to www.pbase.com/garth_wunsch

This weekend is the reunion for Lively High School… I think they call it something different now… longer name that I always screw up… but it’s still Lively High School Looking forward to that. Should have some pics to post next week.

Wowie… my new Stock Image Gallery is now up and running at

http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/garthwunsch

The archive content is not huge yet, but it will grow quickly as I add from my personal archives. This new service will allow folks to get economical access to images for personal use and also provide an outlet for my Fine Art pieces as well as a new source of stock images for clients needing top notch conceptual and subject specific images for commercial applications. The site is e-commerce enabled via PayPal, but you don’t need a PayPal account to access the checkout. PayPal accepts  major credit cards, and because the transaction is via PayPal, you are able to have one less area of exposure for your private credit card data.

I am also maintaining a rather large image gallery that is not e-commerce enabled, but if you wish to purchase a piece you see there, by all means, do contact me and we can make convenient arrangements. This gallery can be found at:

Well, that’s my news for today.
