Thank you all for commenting this past week and helping out the Kawartha Lakes Food Source. Eighty seven comments in one week was great but next year we want three digits I’m sure it isn’t the largest cheque they have received but it’s better then a kick in the ass with a frozen boot. Thanks…
Chantal, Bella and I were visiting the local Christmas light display at Victoria Park. Local wedding and portrait photographer Patricia Bell was taking photos of the real Santa. Chantal and I couldn’t resist. Thanks Patricia for a great shot…..Bella was a tad nervous

What a great idea!! Nice picture, I love Patricia’s photography!
I know this Santa personally. He says that he will talk to the boss about the printer!! Just don’t forget to leave him some cookies and hot chocolate with whipped cream and candy cane chunks on top! Merry Christmas.
Kawartha Lakes Food Source is a community effort to reduce hunger in the City of Kawartha Lakes by maintaining a central warehouse to supply food to organizations that provide food to individuals in need. This holiday season Chantal and I have decided to donate to this important organization. It’s quite simple….for every comment you leave…

Your site is inspirational!

WOW, how exciting, I made it to the cover of a magazine!!!
It must be a sign that I am in the wrong profession!
My wedding was the best day ever ( as it is for any bride), but you made it extra special and because of that, my wedding day memories have been carried out and carried on since then.
Way to go Mark on your feature in the mag…. you rock!
Thanks again.
What a blessing you are!! Merry Christmas!
Mark I’m impressed with your work! You are not only a great photographer but also a great person with a big heart. Long time ago I repaired a few of your Hasselblads, remember a company named “Lisle-Kelco LTD”? I was a Hasselblad technician for twenty-five years. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas and I hope you make this a yearly tradition!
You and Chantal are very generous! Season’s Greetings.
