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…
As part of the ongoing “No Compacts Allowed” photowalk group on Facebook, this past Sunday was our latest walk which took us across and back over the Lions Gate Bridge. We hung around for the sunset and then some long exposure shots of the bridge from an overpass. Setting up for the sunset: This family…
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…
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…
There is only a handful of days left to vote for the panels that *could* end up being presented at SXSWi next March. I’ve already outlined the panel I put together in a previous post but wanted to explain a little bit about why it’s important for your votes…even if you’re not planning on attending…
This past weekend, there was a photowalk along Powell Street. It was the first of hopefully many that a group on Facebook is organizing. My pal Scott is one of the admins. We hope to have these every couple of weeks so if you’re interested, make sure you join the group to keep in the…
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…
I can only imagine what an unassuming tourist visiting Vancouver would have thought when they turned the corner onto Robson street this past Sunday morning and stumbled upon the staging area for the 2009 Vancouver Pride Parade: There were more DSLR cameras in use along the parade route than I’ve ever seen in one place…
Tomorrow is the last day for early bird registration for WordCamp Fraser Valley taking place on August 22, 2009. The registration prices go up as of August 1st. I’m going to be there speaking in the development track about using MAMP/WAMP for WordPress development. MAMP is the version of the software that runs on Apple…
This year I decided (at practically the last minute) to submit a panel idea for SXSW Interactive 2010 that will be held in March next year. Regular viewers of this site know that I attend and love SXSW and 2010 will mark my fifth year heading down to Texas. So what’s the panel called? “Do…
