The Beauty of Cell Phone Cameras and Free Apps!

One thing that really brought my attention back to photography was the quality of the camera in my smart phone and the free apps like Instagram and Pixlr Express that you can use to make your pics... a little more special.

From color enhancements to borders and filters, and selective blurring to create depth, you can turn a pretty standard photo into a personal treaure.

All the following photos were taken on my camera phone and processed in a free app.

Monster Jam

Monster Jam 2014, Rexall Place, Edmonton

I got to take my son to his first Monster Truck show yesterday...  We had such a blast!  

I must say, one of the most enjoyable perks of being a dad is sharing the first experience of something new with your child.  Whether it's taking him to catch his first (craw)fish, or to his first football game, camping trip, dinosaur museum or monster truck show, I love the excitement and wonder that he experiences!
