Fan Expo Vancouver 2013
Day one of Fan Expo Vancouver was crazy. Tons of great costumes and celebrities invaded the Vancouver Convention Centre. Highlights included Michael Rooker (Merle from the Walking Dead), Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings), Stan Lee’s awesome Q&A (he got a standing ovation when he came out), David Prowse (Darth Vader) and my personal favorite,…
My Summer in Photos
I’ve been pretty busy this summer with a number of different events and things that I haven’t posted about so I thought I’d post a little photo summary of my summer so far. Here’s my favorite shot from Vancouver 2012 Pride Parade: and the slideshow of the full set: I had the chance to do…
Fan Expo Vancouver and 2012 Canadian Videogame Awards
Vancouver hosted it’s inaugural edition of Fan Expo this weekend attracting thousands of fans from all genres.

I’m always impressed to see the lengths some people go to create amazing costumes that celebrate their favorite characters…and…

In this case, a thousand people came out for the day to listen to speakers from all different backgrounds and disciplines. I was…
Vancouver 2011 Pride Parade
It’s been a couple of years since I did it, but I couldn’t resist another chance to take my camera down to the West End of Vancouver to photograph the 2011 Vancouver Pride Parade which seemed to be the longest one yet. Here’s a few of my favourite shots followed by an embedded slideshow of…
Vancouver Mini Maker Faire 2011
This past weekend was Vancouver’s first Mini Maker Faire and even the weather cooperated. Part carnival, part technology showcase, and part craft show, it’s definitely not your grandma’s kind of faire – you actually have to sign a waiver to gain entry due to some of the exhibits on display and their inherent dangers. Like…
