Been super busy with a lot of photography projects this summer and it’s been an absolute blast so far. First up (and most recently) was Worldwide Photowalk day, last Saturday, July 18th. This was a hugely organized event happening all over the world with local photowalks submitting their best photos up to the main site…
Last week, Vancouver hosted it’s first CupCakeCamp at WorkSpace. It helped to raise $540 for the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre. I brought my camera along and skipped dinner: Organized by the @awesome (that’s right) Stephanie and helped out by a bunch of great volunteers, it was a huge success. Check out my full set of…
Today, I stopped off at the Bootup Labs/Strutta offices and did a guest spot on the couch with Jordan for a holiday edition of Couch Beers. We chatted about Jordan’s upcoming iPhone acquisition, MobileMe, steps to secure your iPhone, some of my favourite applications and a new piece of gear I just picked up (which…
This past Friday, I was invited to attend a special media boat cruise up Indian Arm aboard the 68′ ketch, the Island Odyssey. Yeah, I know it’s my second nautical themed event this week, life is rough sometimes. The purpose of the event was to let the local community know more about Bluewater Adventures which…
Earlier this week, I had the priviledge of being invited to attend a boat cruise to help introduce Wantsa to the local social media scene. They’ve been pretty quiet about what Wantsa’s all about and then they went and hired my friend, Colleen Coplick who has the awesome title of ‘Professional Loudmouth’ for Wantsa. She’s…
Earlier this week, I was invited (via Twitter no less) to attend a private tour of the Vancouver Police Museum. As well, there would be a walking tour of parts of Vancouver’s downtown area that would highlight some of it’s ‘shadier past’. They even have a morgue and autopsy room: After touring the building’s exhibits…
I’m back at home after a whirlwind weekend in San Francisco to attend WordCamp SF 2009. It’s a one day conference for users of WordPress which is what this site is built with. I’ve talked about WordCamps before and even gave a talk at WordCamp Whistler earlier this year. Like Whistler, I was joined in…
SXSWi is over for another year…and it was fanatastic as usual. Here’s my wrapup in video form along with some photos: This video was shot with my Nikon P6000 and Kodak Zi6 since they were the most portable. Edited with iMovie ’09 on the flight home. I shot more video this time around but still…
Last month, after Northern Voice wrapped up, there was a unique event being held in a part of downtown Vancouver called Yaletown that seemed like an ideal photographic subject. Basically a couple of city blocks were closed to vehicle traffic and a number of light installations were set up by local artists. There were also…
This morning I had the pleasure of having breakfast with Jeff Pulver and a few dozen other fine folks at Enigma in Vancouver. Considering it was a pretty early start on a Sunday morning, it was a pretty big turnout. Jeff organizes these ‘social media breakfasts’ all over the world. Using tools like Twitter and…
