I love this one for the rough grindhouse look and the overly saturated colours. Bigger than life just like a show girl. Shot in Seattle on 1st Avenue. Camera: Lumix DMC-LZ8 Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/640) Aperture: f/5.7 Focal Length: 17.5 mm ISO Speed: 100

Well it hit today. The 12th Annual International Photo Competition edition of Photolife Magazine that I was lucky enough to place fifth in the category of “People, Family, Friends, Strangers” I had found out that the image had placed back in December and I have been eagerly anticipating it’s arrival on the news stand shelves [...]

This is the first time I have noticed the official Olympic US Network here in Vancouver. It almost looked like the many movie sets around town where we put stickers like this to masqueraded as a US city. Not this time though the big cock is in town for real. I did notice that they [...]

I shot this 3D rendition of Miga at the Pacific Centre mall. I am not much of a mascot fan but like the 2010 ones. This execution was very well done I though. The only lame thing that I saw was the 3D trademark near his foot.

Join me as I document  the 2010 Olympics from the downtown streets of Vancouver. I don’t have any specific photo plans as of yet but I imagine those will present themselves during the games.

This shot is from our trip to Oahu in 2007 on the east side of the island at the Kualoa Ranch jeep tours.

The tour goes through the Ka’a’awa Valley where Jurassic Park, Windtalkers, You, Me & Dupree, [...]

Last Memorial Day I took the family to Seattle on a bit of a whim. We hit the Woodlands Park zoo and then went downtown. When we were at the Pike Place Market this old guy in a uniform just walked up and grabbed a crab out of the tank and started waving it at [...]

The city of Valencia has an opera house that rivals that of Sidney without a doubt. In fact it is the 3rd largest opera house in the world after Metropolitan Opera House in New York City and Chicago’s Civic Opera Theatre. The Valencia Opera House [Queen Sofia Palace of the Arts] is located on a dry [...]

I know Bob Ross had millions of fans and inspired armies of people to paint happy little clouds with oil on canvas but his technique was never really considered to be classic oil painting as such. As Bob said many times “…in your world you can paint any colour that makes you happy.” I guess the [...]

Well I pushed both our old Samsung point and shoot camera’s SD video capabilities and iMovie’s distaste for 1st gen Macbook Pro’s with only 2 gigs of RAM to the limit! None the less, I have edited together just over 17 minutes of a very home style movie that did not deviate at all from [...]
