And like that, the craziest roadtrip I’ve ever been on is over. We got back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon. It was an emotional farewell to the EhTeam as we all went our separate ways after spending the better part of two weeks together in a Chevy Traverse driving nearly 8500 kilometers as we drove…
It’s been a few weeks since I got back from Texas and I’ve finally had a chance to put into words my experiences at this year’s annual ‘geek summer camp’. This time around, unlike previous years that I’ve attended SXSWi, I had no plans beyond my own panel which fortunately was on the first day…
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…
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…
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…
What do you get when two photographers look for a way to play around with all their camera gear? They plan a photoshoot of course! One knows someone with a great location to shoot in, the other knows some great models. So after a couple of weeks of planning & coordinating schedules, we spent a…
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…
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…
