Knickknacks among other things (365:52)

I shot this image at a wedding last year. It was a smallish affair with a minimalistic couple who were just looking to celebrate their love with their close family and friends. While at the home of the bridge and groom, I couldn’t help but admire their simple sense of style and attention to detail and cleanliness. Their condo wasn’t overly large, but the space felt bigger with only the essentials in plain view. Their decor all seemed to be mated to something else and streamlined in an oddly existential way. Perhaps this line of thought is existential in and of itself, but to me, even their laid back and affectionate dog seemed to match.

Although I don’t use it that often, I think the black and white edit does this image justice._MG_5102



Preview of Highline West studio work (365:51)

Here’s a shot of my work station at home. It’s a comfortable little nook with a north facing window (currently obscured by the curtain). I’ve spent many an hour here pouring over edits, brainstorming grand schemes and generally enjoying the work I do.

But I digress. The image within the photo is a nearly completed head shot for an actress/model you may have seen on this blog in the past. This is just a sneak peak at some of the great shots that were created  over the weekend. The final proofs will be released on the Highline West website! _MG_8006



Apologies! February 24, 2012 (365:50)

I must apologize for neglecting my 365 project for the past few days. Although it occurs to me that the only person I am really “harming” is myself. All three (if that?) of my sporadic followers have probably long since moved on to greener pastures. Nevertheless, I have returned and am happy to say that I have been with camera in hand, even though I have failed to post any work this immediate medium. After a slight hiatus, the studios at Highline West (www.highlinewest.com) are back up and running better than ever. With any luck we’ll be scheduling more clients in short order and taking full advantage of our facilities.

While the aforementioned is all well and good, it saddens me a bit to know that I won’t reach the magical 365 number of blog posts by new years 2014. I could have cheated and advanced the current count to the appropriate date (to which I admit the thought had crossed my mind), but I realize that I would only be cheating myself with a false victory. An action that would likely tarnish an otherwise entirely positive and creative undertaking. So without rambling on too much longer, I will leave this (regretfully) photo absent post with promises of interesting and captivating photography in the future.



My photo made it onto the Province website! February 20, 2013 (365:49)

So the padlock photo I snapped on the Burrard Street bridge last week made it onto the Province website. The link is here.  I answered a tweet from @cwistal & @vancitybuzz and by sheer coincidence had the picture they were looking for! There’s a chance the image will make it in the physical newspaper as well. I have my fingers crossed for that little break in the clouds.

Here are a few more supplemental images from that spot I took last night. _MG_7270 _MG_7349 _MG_7350 _MG_7352



Photo walk with Tomasz and Thompson part 2 (365:49)

Photo walk with Tomasz and Thompson part 1 (365:48)

Tomasz Wagner (of www.mananetwork.net) has returned from his European travels and what better way to celebrate than to revive the old past time of photo walking? Thompson (of www.thompsonchan.com) was a bonus.

A place to hang my headphones (365:47)

I just so happened to hang my headphones on a spot that was convenient to my work station one day. I didn’t think about it or even really notice what I had done. I’ve since then hung my headphones in that same place without fail just out of pure coincidental acknowledgement of simplicity. _MG_7285



A couple of photos I liked from 2012 (365:46)

Across the border errands (365:45)

Went State side to run some errands. Was a pretty fun day! Wish I had remembered to take more photos. Especially with film. At this rate I may never fully appreciate the hipster medium.

_MG_7273 _MG_7275 _MG_7283Amazed at what the camera was able to capture with super low light after dusk.

… and the kitchen sink (365:42)

So yesterday I did an edit of an entire kitchen unit in a newer condo. Today I present the kitchen sink. 9M4A5258-EditAs pointed out by one of my Highline West partners, there were a few flaws in the image that I had to fix up and that eventually lead me back to my other edit of the entire kitchen again. I also fixed that photo up after noticing a distinct green cast over the entire image. From where that tinge of colour came from, I’ll never know. 9M4A5193-Edit
