This is my first summer in three years that I am at home. During this time, I am usually on a bus or in a parking lot somewhere on the Vans Warped Tour. Although I am not on the tour this year, I have the opportunity to create images of friends, family, and I have the ability to take on some personal projects. 

On Sunday, I made the trip up to Maitland River with some friends to go fishing, something I haven’t done in years. I used to really enjoy fishing up north in the Sudbury area with my family, but I don’t get up there near enough anymore due to work or other reasons.

The five of us hit the road around 5am after grabbing some McDonald’s breakfast. Although I had only caught one fish, it was still really great to be out on the river in the early morning. I brought my Fujifilm X100s along for the trip as well as the TCL-X100 that converts the fixed 35mm lens to a 50mm, which helps get a bit more reach. The following are some photos from that morning.
