Leaside loves Ned Pratt. (Newfoundland and Labrador loves Ned Pratt!) Most of the photos on this web site (the great ones!) are his. I particularly admire his eye - that he "likes" what he sees through his lens comes across every time!

Ned is an artist - his portfolio shows testament to his unique photographic creativity. We are lucky that he fits in the odd piece of work for Leaside. Thanks, Ned.
