There are many beautiful places in Arnprior, starting with the trestle bridge. It has an amazing view and always makes for the perfect picture, no matter the light. In this photo, me and my friend were messing around when I randomly had an idea: what if I leaned into the dark lighting to make it look like he was walking on water? That’s exactly how it turned out.
The second photo has more of a vibrant, happy-go-lucky feel. I took a walk during school to calm down, and when I reached the marina in Arnprior, I almost instantly reset my headspace. That’s why I took this picture, to share some happiness with y’all.
Lastly, there’s the picture of the perfect guitar. My buddy had just redesigned his guitar, and we wanted to take some pictures with it. On a walk through the forest, we came across a graveyard with a giant statue of Jesus on the cross, and that’s when I got the idea to take this shot as a metaphor. Because just like some people’s relationship with God, music lifts spirits.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. They were all taken carefully with my NBO 8K Ultra vlog camera.
