Undirected Alberta Sunset
by Maciek Sokulski on Jun.18, 2009, under Photo
This evening the clouds were gathering very nicely, forecasting a spectacular sunset. I decided to go out for a quick trip around the country side. By the time the kids went to bed, and I finally left the house, there were no clouds what so ever. Still determined to get some shots I jumped in the car and I was off. I did not have a lot of time left so I tried to make the best of it. Here are the results. Enjoy!

I had a great opportunity to be semi assistant on a photo shoot with Randy Pond. He was shooting a great local bodybuilder, Scott. The shoot went great, and I did learn a few things about body building. The complexity and science that goes into this is mind boggling. I did manage to get a few shots myself. So here they are, enjoy!

Northern Pikes Concert
by Maciek Sokulski on Jun.12, 2009, under News, People, Photo
Just got back from an amazing show. The Northern Pikes came to Edmonton. This band has been around since circa 1984. One of my favorite bands. I have all their records! They have a special place in my heart, but I will not go on blubbering here. Needless to say it they still got the stuff, even after all these years. I was afraid that I won’t be able to take photos, as I’ve been told by the venue people that cameras are not allowed. Well I did sneak one in anyway. I took my trusty Leica D-LUX 3. After a bit I saw many people taking photos, even coming up to the stage to do that, and no one said anything. At that point I wished I took something better, but at least Leica records video as well so I was able to record some as well.
Like I said, it really was an amazing show, a blast to the past, and a lot of fond memories. Ah yes. Northern Pikes are still the best band in Canada!

Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions
by Maciek Sokulski on Jun.08, 2009, under Landscape, People, Photo
It was an awesome weekend. Specially Sunday. We got up early in the morning at 6am got the kids dressed, packed some snacks and off we go, destination Stettler Alberta. We decided to go on the Alberta Prairie Railway Excursion. It’s a great little getaway for families, and not only. It is an hour long train ride to the town of Big Valley, Alberta, with great scenery along the way, and the nostalgic feel of an old train ride. There is also an added bonus of experiencing a true train robbery. It is actually quite exciting and all the “proceeds” go to the children hospital. You can read more about the excursion on the above link. Now lets get on with the photos. I made these so they reflect the olden days. Enjoy.

Jenn Again Part 1
by Maciek Sokulski on Jun.03, 2009, under People, Photo
Last Saturday I had a great privilege to work with Jenn again. She brings so much life and excitement into these photo shoots, that the hours just slip away. The whole idea behind it was to shoot a child’s bike with training wheels and an adult in full motorcycle outfit on that bike. Well, that did not work as I planned, and managed to damage my new shoot through umbrella. So the bike shots were pretty much a bust, but luckily they evolved into something else. I think this was the longest photo shoot, and I really had a hard time picking out my favorites to share. So, without further ramblings, here is Jenn…. again. Enjoy!
