I Finally took the plunge and purchased an iPhone! Not so much that I really needed a cell phone, (never had one before) but I suspect that, like my other really good tools, (iMac, Nikon D700 etc.) in a year from now you won’t be able to pry it from my hands. That being said, the cell phone has already been useful for conveying my excuses (reasons) as to why I’m coming home late… again. I got caught in a huge thunderstorm the other day, lucky me. Great clouds… and a rainbow to boot. The rainbow was forming over one of Vale INCO’s operations buildings, the old Iron Ore Recover Plant, and seeing the local labor strife is adding to the already difficult economic times of Sudbury (like everywhere else), I thought the rainbow was a nice symbol of promise for better days ahead… hey, worked for Noah!

These images were made with my Canon G9… It’s small and good. I try not to leave home without it. Great for such occasions when I’m not toting the full camera bag of Nikons.

a la prochaine, Garth

PS just want give my webmaster a big thank you for the redesign work he is just completing. Note to photographers… I know I’m a good photographer and I know a fair bit of Photoshop, so I thought I could also be a web designer… couldn’t do it… wasted a lot of money and time getting frustrated with Dreamweaver etc. Hired James… sticking to photography… same goes for accounting! James specializes in WordPress layouts for photographers.You can find him at http://big-red-couch-web-design.com/

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
