WAY COOL PHOTO

WALL OF DEATH

Okay, maybe it stems from my serious love for both motorcycles and black and white photography, but I think this is the coolest photo I have seen in quite a while.

WORDS FROM DYLAN

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

“What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” — Bob Dylan
Took a break from the surf to grab a coffee, saw this quote on my feedreader and thought it fit my day perfectly.  Forgot my cardreader so can’t post a photo, but I’ll tell you, it is sunny and beautiful.

NICK + JULIA / WEDDING VIDEO

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Nick and Julia got married on August 8th and here is the video I shot and edited from their big day. It was a challenge to do stills and video but I think the results will show that everything worked out perfectly. “Green Eyes” was the song to their amazing first dance.

Totally Rad – The Plane House

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Back in High School, when I somehow found myself in Mr. Outerbridge’s advanced placement math class in grade 12, I used to spend most of my time zoning out to avoid learning calculus, and drawing “The Beadle Dream House” on my lined paper in my binder.  My buddy Greg C and I would usually discuss the merits of helicopter pads and the use for having a grotto, and the fact that if this were in fact the Beadle Dream House, that it must be directly on the beach. Well I think I have finally found my spot.  This house that is made out of an old plane, high about the Pacific somewhere in Costa Rica. Check it!

Marcus Bleasdale of VII, who is more used to shooting wars in places like Eastern Congo, where he lived for quite some time, recently covered fashion week in NYC, Paris and Milan for New York Magazine. Full slideshow HERE.

Last Year Christopher Anderson of Magnum covered it, (link HERE) and I loved his work as well.
Two of my favourite photographers covering such a visually stimulating event.

NICK + JULIA / MARRIED

NICK+JULIA

Nick and Julia got married last weekend with a beautiful ceremony at the Canadian Memorial United Church in Vancouver, with the reception at Cammidge House in Centennial Beach, Tsawwassen.  It was such a fun experience to be able to photograph the wedding of friends like Nick and Jules and then bust out on the dance floor with everyone else at the end of the night.  (My dance moves were lacking skill due to my lack of sleep/jet lag.  Nothing to do with my traditional white-man no-groove dance moves.)  More photos and words in the next post with full edit.
