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.

We had a super September Saturday at Belcroft Estates, near Cookstown, for Amy & Michael’s wedding. This was a very special wedding for us as Amy is my first cousin and we lived in the same village when we were growing up. Our families were probably a lot closer than most cousins so it is always a great time when we all get together.

Congratulations you two!08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1450.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding687.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1431.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1601.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding751.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1587.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1656.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding218.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding328.jpg 08-09_CurrahRavenWedding817.jpg 08-09_CurrahRavenWedding926.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding976.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding984.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1035.jpg 08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1104.jpg 08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1109.jpg 08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1572.jpg08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1600.jpg 08-09_CurrahRavenWedding1092.jpg

SOD: Fields of Gold

Song of the Day: Fields of Gold - Sting 220px-Sting_ThePolice_2007.jpg

So she took her love

For to gaze awhile

Upon the fields of barley

In his arms she fell as her hair came down

Among the fields of gold

… of course, up until now I always thought the lyrics were “the fields of Bali”. Seems that’s a common mistake.

SOD: Hey Sarah Palin

Song of the Day: Hey Sarah Palin - reworking of Plain White T’s - Hey There Delilah

Kind of NSFW - some cursing. And use of the word “poo”.


Political commentary… just what you want in your photographer’s blog!

Funny Picture Moment

First… Not My Photo.

Second… I love this picture. Corey “Turbo” Marshall took it when we were doing portraits of the Resource Staff at camp this summer. There are so many things great about it - energy, spontaneity, a true sense of her personality. 08-06_CounsellorHeadshots120.jpg

And a blood_filled_mosquito in front of her eye.
