This past weekend I came across a very sweet deal on Craigslist that allowed me to trade my Nikon Lensbaby Composer for a micro 4/3s Lensbaby Composer with Tilt Transformer. It’s basically the same type of Lensbaby, except that it also has the added benefit of having an integrated adaptor so you can use Nikon…
Last week I was invited on a boat cruise, literally in my own neighbourhood from the nice folks at Pitt Lake Cruises. Living in Port Coquitlam, just minutes from the Pitt River, I’ve spent a fair bit of time along it’s banks with it’s kilometers of walking/biking trails but have never been on the river…
The schedule is now live for Northern Voice 2012 so I thought it would be a good time to start reminding folks about it and to buy their tickets as they often sell out. I’m happy to announce that I’m hosting PhotoCamp for 2012 and I have a bunch of great folks lined up to…
Vancouver hosted it’s inaugural edition of Fan Expo this weekend attracting thousands of fans from all genres. If you’ve never been to an event like this, the easiest way to describe it is Halloween on steroids. I’m always impressed to see the lengths some people go to create amazing costumes that celebrate their favorite characters…and…
Let me start by saying I don’t hate Instagram, I’m just not a fan…this post is why I love Hipstamatic (for the iPhone) and use it constantly. This post also isn’t about the sharing community that is behind Instagram (which is pretty impressive)…anything that inspires people to take more photos is awesome in my book….
With the great afternoon weather we’ve been having lately, it seemed like the perfect time to finally head out to Boundary Bay in Delta to check out the snowy owls. To add to the effect, it had recently snowed too. I was surprised how close the owls were to the trail (and tons of people)…
Over the holidays I spent an afternoon at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle with my girlfriend. I still find it strange to have such a large zoo in the middle of a residential area in the heart of Seattle. It was a good place to try out the new zoom lens (a 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G…
For the second year in a row, I was asked to help document the Christmas Wish Breakfast event at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver. This was the 24th year of the event and it was the biggest yet! A highlight this year was the surprise from the Vancouver Fire Department who had a couple…
This past weekend, I was able to spend some quality ‘tourist’ time in two of my favorite cities: Seattle and Vancouver. A quick day trip to Seattle met with great weather as my girlfriend and I took in the Underground Tour of Seattle. It’s been on my list of things to do in Seattle for…
This weekend I attended the 3rd installment of TEDxVancouver. It was held at the Chan Centre out at UBC which is a stunning place to witness any kind of event or performance. In this case, a thousand people came out for the day to listen to speakers from all different backgrounds and disciplines. I was…
