I want to consume less and create more...

It made my day when I got an email from photographer Clay Enos that said simply: I dig your mantra.

I'm Travis Jon Allison. I'm a photographer from Southern Ontario, Canada and making art has always been my passion. Getting to be a photographer was one of my goals since I first borrowed my mom's Pentax Spotmatic camera and took it with me to camp for the weekend.

I thank you and my clients who have allowed me to share that passion and keep creating. It makes me very happy.

This blog is all part of my creating bug. I use it to keep a record of what's going on with me so that my clients can get to know me better and so my friends and family can keep up with what is going on in our world. One part photo album, one part journal and all me. Thanks for reading!

I hope you enjoy the blog. Please add me into your  feed reader.

Mom and I went to visit my 91 year old Grandmother in her nursing home today. She’s had Alzheimer’s Disease for quite a while now - who knows when these things start.

She was having a particularly good day today. I took her pictures to see on my computer - that always blows her mind a little… She’s still really drawn to children and babies so I always give her a quick show of my favourite kids from this year. Thank you to my clients whose kids gave my Grandma a little cheer today!

Mom brought Grandma a narcissus plant in a box that we could work on for a little while with her. She always loved to garden. We all find that it’s easiest to visit with Grandma with something to do - she seems to get less confused that way. Most often we play crokinole (huzzah to the folks in Tavistock, ON who invented the game!) and she can still consistently get the “ringer”s.

Merry Christmas Grandma!

She’s saying something “smart” to me here… she’s never lost her sense of humour.

Oakely

When I was shooting my running portfolio shots in London with Sass & Cory (see here) I snapped off a couple of quick shots of Oakley - their 2 year old Vizsla.

He and Maverick wrestled in the snow (mostly not in the way of the shoot) for a good hour. Maverick thinks any hour in the snow is a good hour!08-11_SassCoryGrandpa020.jpg 08-11_SassCoryGrandpa023.jpg

Apparently that’s his “sitting pretty” face. He makes others, I swear.
