Hello once again everyone! Yes, as you can see by the title I as well as most people who live in Saskatchewan are just a wee bit seasonally confused right now. Is this what one refers to as an Indian summer or just what feels like it after such a shitty poopy summer??? Regardless of what it is called we'll take it as it is much better than the alternative of snow on Labor Day!

 

If some of you are wondering what the heck is going on with our podcasts it's really quite simple... iTunes and our server were suddenly not loving each other very much. That being said we have just gotten the problem resolved and are once again up and running!! That's right everyone... just head over to iTunes and search for ThoseTwoPhotographers under podcasts and voila, there we are! Once you are in there you may as well just hit the subscribe button and then they will automatically download everytime a new one is published...oh yeah, and rate us... highly please

 

What have we been up to as of late? Well pretty much a little bit of everything. Rob is still shooting pictures for the Saskatchewan Soccer Association all over the place and he will soon be very busy with the University of Regina Athletics pictures as well. We also just wrapped up our Northern Golf Course photos shoots and are about to begin touring around the province once again teaching workshops for Saskatchewan Tourism. On top of that we still hold our photo workshops at Don's Photo at least one if not two evenings a week and are also teaching through the Cathedral Community Association here in Regina. There are also a bunch of smaller projects on the go...like my full time job (Just kidding everyone that works with me... really)

 

I'm sorry if I seem a wee bit distracted but the Vikings/Browns game is on in the background and I am waiting for the announcement that Brett Favre has dislocated his hip due to the fact that he has decided that it is once again a great idea to come out of retirement to get pummeled by linemen who are 6'7" weigh 350lbs. and are 25 yrs old! He doesn't need the money I'm sure and even if he does he can always go back to acting as the cameo appearance that he did in "Something About Mary" is still widely talked about... sure is last mention of sports and then we will move on to photography... how many of you watched the round of gold that Tiger Woods played yesterday at the BMW Championship?? He shot a 62... it's magic...enough said.

 

Alright...so those of you in the football know are probably wondering what the heck I was just talking about when discussing the Vikings game as that was a week ago...well, let's just say that is when the blog was originally going to be published had it not been for some computer eroor on my part right when it was all done and ready to be published. In other words the whole bloody thing was lost so instead of starting all over that day from scratch I just took a week long break and will begin again

 

Alrighty then... onward and upward. Here are some pics that Rob shot of something a little bit different. The images below are of the Good2Go Fly Ball Dog Races that were held a few weeks ago at the Tartan Curling Club.

The opportunity came up to go shooting with some friends one evening out on some wildlife land. It was great to get out and just relax for a bit

 

Here is one of the pics that I shot that evening of a friend who shall remain nameless but for now let's just call him Norm. Needless to say he may not have been a huge fan of getting his picture taken

Different friend in this shot but once again pretty positive that if he hadn't been walking away he would also have given me the same reaction that Norm had.

 

We were walking along and came across one of the Geo Cache boxes that Sask Wildlife plants throughout the province. Inside the box was one of the Wildlife coloring books and who was in it but non other than my friend Jim...that's him under the arrow. You know you've made it when you have your own coloring book!!!

Walking back to the truck after a long hard evening of shooting...well, not long actually as it was only about an hour and not too hard also as we only walked about the equivalent of two city blocks

Rob also had the opportunity to go out with our friend who shall remain namesless so we'll call him Norm to shoot some crop dusters at sunrise. Apparently they didn't actually get out to shoot them while spraying but they did get some great shots prior to takeoff.

Next are a few picture that were taken when I was out at Elk Ridge shooting some photos of the golf course. If you have never taken the time to take a trip up North I highly recommend it as the scenery is absolutely beautiful and it's nice to get to see more than one or two trees at a time not to mention the wildlife!

From there my car headed out West to a little town called Markerville, AB which is just past Red Deer to take a breather and do some floating and jetboating. My goal is to become a professional floater These images were all shot with my little point and shoot Optio W80 so there is no EXIF data to post underneath as these are just for fun.

Yep... as you can see from the picture above becoming a professional floater takes a lot of time and practice

 

Preparing one of the boats for a day on the river.

 

Hmmmm???? That's all that's going to be said about that as it is pretty self-explanatory.

 

We caught some Walleye along the way and decided to stop for a shore lunch... please check out the superb fire as it was built by yours truly

Taking it easy before we head back. What you can kind of see here but not too clearly is that Gary's face is swollen up like a balloon as he got bit by a wasp on the way up the river and is highly allergic! Poor guy ended up spending some time in the hospital after we got back

Well.. that's it for now everyone. Please take note that we are now going to alternate our blog and podcasts every two weeks so look for another podcast coming soon!

Take care and enjoy this weather as from what they say it isn't going to last very much longer

Devona & Rob
