Last weekend, I finally got a chance to check out Ziptrek Eco Tours in Whistler. I’ve been meaning to take a tour since I first got to experience them during the Winter Olympics. As you can see from the above photo, Whistler was a full on winter wonderland the day I went on the ‘Bear‘…
Later this week, the Pan Pacific Vancouver will be hosting the 23rd Annual Christmas Wish Breakfast on Tuesday, November 30th from 6 to 9 am. I’ve been invited to photograph of all the festivities so will be there for the whole morning. If you’d like to help support the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, simply come…
So I’m about to do something I’ve never done on this site before – give away something! Since I like taking photos, I’m hoping this is a slightly more interesting entry process. My friends at Whistler/Blackcomb have given me a sweet little prize pack to give to my readers/followers. All you have to do is…

A little over six months ago, I participated in what can only be described as one of the most exciting and fun events I’ve ever experienced: the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. I put together a highlight video of my experiences but realized that I hadn’t actually put that much into words to describe the…
Not really a rant, not a real wishlist but as I approach my 40th birthday next month, I thought I’d come up with a few things that I’d love to get…and I have a feeling some of you will want the same. So here’s my short list, in no particular order, which I may add…
Today I had the chance to get a sneak peak at Sony’s new Move Motion control system for the Playstation 3. Similar to the Nintendo Wii’s Wiimote, it’s a wireless controller that you use to control various types of videogames. Today, we got to play beach volleyball. Unlike the Wii though, the Playstation controller also…
Once again it’s that time when all the SXSW folks start pitching to anyone with a pulse their panel ideas for voting. I’m no different although I try to keep it to a minimum. Lately SXSW has been awash is social media and marketing sessions (even my session with Chris Heuer earlier this year fell…
