This year’s first real snowfall, meaning one that will stick around for a while, arrived October 2, 2011, so we decided to show you what an Arctic fall really looks like. This was filmed behind Inuksuk High School in Iqaluit.

Exploring Sylvia Grinnell Park near Iqaluit
(Note: now worth watching in 720p HD.) It was a beautiful day to go out for a wander in Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park Labour Day. It’s funny to think it’s within walking distance from our house, but it’s easier to drive. Once you are at the park, you go over a hill and the city… Continue Reading

Oxford: Relaxing in the Wadham College garden
Anjhela and I had a visitor today, Gloria’s brother Rick Martin. He was en route to South Africa and decided to come here during a 12 hour stopover at Heathrow airport. We took him around and had a great time. We went to The Mission Mexican grill and had burritos for lunch, and I had… Continue Reading

Awesome news from photographer Scott Bourne, who has selected me as one of his 24 Emerging Photographer of the Year contest finalists. Here’s what Scott says on his website: It’s easy to look at newspaper photography as mundane and routine. But Casey shows that newspaper photojournalism doesn’t have to be boring. Casey’s images are whimsical… Continue Reading
