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 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…
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…

My sister came to town with her kids this week and wanted to do something fun so we all headed to Playland. It happened to be the hottest day on record in Vancouver…so needless to say, it was freakin’ hot. Special thanks to Phil @ Virgin 95.3 for hooking us all up with some passes…
The camera mount for my bike arrived from Hong Kong (via eBay) today….pretty sweet setup for $8 delivered! It’s way too hot out right now for a proper ride so I did a quick spin around the block with my Kodak Zi6 attached to a mini-ballhead attached to the bike via the new mount. For…
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…
Robert Lee, the ‘Voice’ of Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel made a custom voicemail greeting for me after I mentioned on Twitter about how cool it would be if he did…as if I needed any more reasons why the internet is awesome! I added the theme music and title card….Robert even sent me a couple…
