Another shoot I did for an NPR story on Burnaby’s General Fusion. Very interesting technology!

I recently shot some photos at St. Georges school for boys for Our Kids Magazine.
I was hired to shoot psychologist Robert Hare for the NPR show All Things Considered a few weeks ago. The story finally has aired, it was a really interesting story to be a part of.
Robert Hare, the psychologist who created the PCL-R test for psychopaths, at first resisted giving the checklist to people in the criminal justice system. But he ultimately agreed to publish the test officially so anyone could use it.

May 20, 2010 – Vancouver, BC – Protesters take to the streets of downtown Vancouver Thursday to protest the extradition of the self-styled “Prince of Pot”, Marc Emery. Emery was extradited to the USA today for selling marijuana seeds by mail to U.S. customers. Brett Beadle for The Globe and Mail
I photographed Irish author Roddy Doyle at the Irish Heather pub in Gastown last week for an article that appeared in today’s Globe and Mail. I have read a bunch of his books, which are mainly fiction stories from life in his native Dublin, where he still lives. Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, The Van, The Snapper, The Commitments (which was later made into a film) are all great reads, and worth checking out.

I was hired last week by L’Express Magazine from France to take photos of UBC Professor Dr. Daniel Pauly. I was thinking of heading to the beach or an aquarium to shoot, as the client stated that was the look they were after. But time didn’t allow for that, so we shot in the board room close to Dr. Pauly’s office. The result was a nice, clean, photo with a background that speaks to Dr. Pauly’s fisheries background.
UBC Professor Dr. Daniel Pauly is arguably the world’s most prolific and widely cited living fisheries scientist. Brett Beadle for L’Express Magazine.
I shot a story yesterday for the Globe & Mail about a house of young people who want to grow vegetables and farm in their yard, but have been instructed to remodel in order to keep their yard in line with what the rest of the neighbourhood looks like. A neighbour figures his property value will go down if they are farming next door to him, but this obviously puts things at odd with the City of Vancouver’s mandate to become the “Greenest City in the World” http://vancouver.ca/greenestcity/ It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Sara St. Vincent and Ander Gates work on their garden at their East Vancouver home. The City has instructed them that their yard is to be brought up to the “reasonable standard of maintenance prevailing in the neighbourhood.” Brett Beadle for the Globe and Mail

From the Front of the BC Section of today’s Globe & Mail:
April 13, 2010 – Vancouver, BC – Brent Granby, president of the West End Residents Association, stands outside of St. John’s Church Tuesday. The property at 1401 Comox Street in the West End of Vancouver is the site of a proposed condo development. Brett Beadle for the Globe and Mail
A few weeks ago I was assigned to go photograph Jason Kapalka in Comox, BC for Game Informer Magazine out of the States. Jason lives in Comox, and commutes to the PopCap offices in Seattle about once a month. What an awesome spot, I hadn’t been to Comox in ages, and although it was a wet, windy and gross day, we made the best of it. And to top it off, there were CF-18′s taking off from nearby CFB Comox, providing air support for the Olympics. The howling winds continually knocked my lightstand over, so Jason ran into the house and got some tape for me to rig up my softbox to withstand the blow. The magazine was very happy with it, as I was told most of the portraits they get are dudes in their computer game offices. Nothing like a little bit of West Coast scenery to make a picture work…..
