This past weekend, I had a chance to attend the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo (aka PAX) in Seattle, Washington. I’ve always wanted to attend but it’s usually been on the same weekend as my anniversary so it just didn’t work out before now. PAX is pretty much SXSW for the videogame set….including conference sessions, a…
Today, On1 Software updated their remote control app for the iPhone to support Nikon cameras. I’ve been waiting for this to be released ever since I first heard about it earlier this year when it was unveiled but only supported Canon cameras.

Today, Wired.com posted an article about the iPhone surpassing all other cameras to take the top spot on my favorite photo sharing website, Flickr. This isn’t surprising to me…I have over a thousand photos taken with the iPhone on there alone. Even cooler than that though was the fact they used one of my photos,…
I guess it was inevitable…first I spent some time in the morgue, now Zombies have taken over downtown Vancouver. Here’s some of my photos from the annual Zombie Walk that appears to be very popular the world over. Kimli asked me to shoot some photos of the zombies participating in the Thrill the World Vancouver…
What do you get when two photographers look for a way to play around with all their camera gear? They plan a photoshoot of course! One knows someone with a great location to shoot in, the other knows some great models. So after a couple of weeks of planning & coordinating schedules, we spent a…
