A little while ago, I did a photoshoot with my good friends, Ianiv & Arieanna, who were expecting their first child imminently. I offered to take the photos for them because I’d never shot these kinds of photos before and figured it would be fun to try…especially with friends. Here’s a few of my favorite…
Apparently, they can…and there are lots of them! Over 235 zombies invaded the Roundhouse this past Saturday for Thrill the World Vancouver, part of a global event to simultaneously perform the Michael Jackson classic to break a world record, as well as raise money for the the Vancouver Food Bank. I managed to get a…
The second photowalk in October for the No Compacts Allowed group was at Granville Island…at night. The original plan was to meet up and wander around the island taking shots. This time we had a nice diversion with a trio of models coming out and transforming our walk into an impromptu Strobist meetup. Here’s a…
Earlier this year, I shot some photos & video at the Vancouver Zombie Walk. The ‘opening act’ if you will, was a number of people dancing as part of the Thrill the World Vancouver event that is coming up on October 24th. They got a fair amount of interest from the gathering crowd outside the…
Last summer, during the photoshoot at the morgue, I came up with the idea of doing another shoot with Charles & Barbara on the beach. They had mentioned while we were shooting that they spun fire and I thought that would be a pretty cool project for us to work on. So after a few…

This past weekend, I was invited to a corn maze tweetup as well, we were looking for a location for a photowalk as part of our No Compacts Allowed Facebook group. Seemed like a good idea to merge the two events and take a bunch of camera gear down to the Bose Corn Maze, deep…
My first trip on the newly opened Canada Line skytrain only took two minutes to go from downtown to the Airport: UPDATE: Here’s Part Two of the video – the return trip sped up a little bit faster:
Recently, I stumbled across a useful and free iPhone app that I’ve been meaning to review on this site. This post is not that review. This post is about my recent experience(s) with it at Save-On Foods, which is a local grocery store chain. As the post title implies, it doesn’t end well. First of…
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…
