You're invited to see my favorite entertainer, Janet "Miss Jackson if You're Nasty" Jackson, in her element -- live on stage! These photos are from Janet's "Rock Witchu" tour at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in late September 2008. Personal thanks to my buddy KD for the best seats at the venue and his friend Nadine for lending me her Canon PowerShot camera. I depleted the batteries' energy three-quarters of the way into Janet's amazing performance, but you'll get the gist of it here. While viewing, choose the slideshow option, play your favorite Janet song, and enjoy the show!

A few of my favorite shots over the last 20 years.

It was late November 2008, and I had yet to digitally capture Canada's third largest city on my Sony Alpha dSLR. Experience this visit and vision of Vancouver, a city that embellishes its urban expanse alongside its natural beauty, both packaged with a stylish, cosmopolitan vibe that makes it so attractive to residents and visitors alike. Vancouver has it all.

First trip to the City by the Bay: April 2008. Since I was a kid and saw pictures of the city, I had been longing to visit. Also, the unforgettable climax in the James Bond movie, "A View to a Kill", was always an incentive as well. San Francisco is, without a doubt, one of the most marvelous cities I have ever seen. I took a record 1,666 photos in the four and a half days I was there, but chose this selection to share. It was indeed one of the best photo tours I have been on to date! Enjoy.
