In May of 2004 as part of a 16mm hand-processing workshop I shot of roll of film with Cat LeBlanc in Fredericton. Some of it was shot frame-by-frame and some of it was shot in slow motion.
In August 2003 I took a digital still camera to 6 different locations in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. I took a picture, moved slightly, then took another picture as I circled the different places. I repeated the process 967 times and then combined the images together and animated them.This was done for the Digital Dialogues exhibition that was curated by Gair Dunlop.

A glimpse along the Dickson Falls trail in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick. While hiking towards Dickson Falls I paused to look around and shoot a little video with my still camera. It's a very beautiful trail and I didn't know that just a little further up the trail were the real and more impressive waterfall.
Below the main falls along the Dickson Falls trail in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick. It was a beautiful day for a walk through a tree-lined trail to a stream that leads to a waterfall. John was walking ahead and you can see him walking up the stairs at the end the clip.
A lovely stream as seen from a bridge along the Coppermine trail close to Point Wolfe in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick. John and I went hiking and I wanted to give more of the sense of how it looked. It's a great place to hike and is very peaceful.
At the Discovery Centre in Halifax John created an animation that we viewed in the zoetrope there.
