First Wedding First Kiss

So I did my first wedding this weekend as a second shooter. It was a pretty laid back wedding so it made the shoot nice and easy. Here's a shot from the ceremony.

Flash is Pretty Cool

A huge thanks to my old friend Andrew for helping me out, working through the pain of a collar bone break he came out and stood still for me all night while I figured out what the hell I was doing. Here's the output!

Gabriola With My Mother

  

So I just spent the last few days at the family cabin with my mother. We went for a walk down the beach and she talked about the history of some of the cabins along berry point. The photos above are of Howie's cabin, it has been there for over 80 years and its right on the beach. No one lives in it anymore but it is used as a boathouse shed by Howie's family.

Designing a Logo that you don't hate after 10 Minutes

So I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to design an effective logo for when i start my website/business up. I've gone through about 6 main ideas, and most of the time I like it when I create it, save it and forget about it, come back an hour later to look at it, then realize it's no good. Here is a draft of what I actually still like. 

Please feel free to comment / critique / give suggestions.

Fireworks from a boat.

So we went out on Paul's family boat lastnight for the fireworks. About 2 minutes in I realized that shooting fireworks from a moving boat was a little bit useless. So I put the camera away, but before we went out on the water, there was a typical vancouver sunset happening, so I took a couple shots from the dock.

Old vs. New

As I was looking through the pile of photos from the old Mcdonalds camera I came across a shot of Nat Bailey I took. So I thought I'd put it up next to my latest work.

From Beginning Until Now

    It all started with a free film camera with a purchase of happy meal at mcdonalds. 15 years later it's still going with a Canon 50d. My first subject was Jesse Allen throwing a basketball in my backyard.  My subject last night was none other than "Big Daddy" himself, All-Star baseball player Cecil Fielder; throwing out the first pitch at Nat Bailey Stadium. Thank you Mcdonalds for your free camera, you gotta start somewhere right?
