Leeside

Sat on this awhile because I wanted to post some different formats, but whatevs.
Leeside DIY skatepark near playland. Many thanks to the hard working skaters who built and maintain this spot in memory of local skater Lee Matasi. Spinner.

Whitehorse 360 panoramic

I did manage to take some normal coloured pictures while in the Yukon. Overcast but the sun is trying....
Spirit Houses/ First Nations burial site on the way to Long Lake. Near downtown Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Spinner.

Old Log Church, Whitehorse YT

On this trip I learned the difference between Fuji 64T type 1 and type 2.
When cross-processed: Type 1 gives green tones and white whites (which I like), while Type 2 gives you nuclear pink everything. Waaay over the top.
I mistakenly shot all of my last pictures of Whitehorse on Type 1 64T, and have had to suck out most of the colour to make them useable. I did the same to the green to semi-match.
I actually like the black and white style desaturated pink log church. Kinda wish the green one was pink as well.

2013 Legendary Banked Slalom, Mount Baker Washington.

Here's a peek at the Baked Salmon BBQ outside of the Raven Hut cafe at Mt Baker this year.
I attached the camera to a bamboo pole that was a part of the beer garden fence. I am actually lucky one of these came out, as drunk people kept bumping the fence/shaking the camera. Took a bunch but only one was good(ish). Spinner (with motor base).

BLVD Skateshop, East Vancouver BC

I recently got a motor base for my 360 panorama camera, which allows me to shoot in low light/indoor situations.
My first victim was my friend Kevin of Boulevard Skateshop in East Vancouver. He is on the leather couch, and the shoe bench. I'm looking in the display case at the far end. spinner. http://blvdskateshop.com/

Mount Baker

This weekend is Mt.Baker's legendary banked slalom race, one of the longest running snowboard events on the continent. 

Over the years I have gone from racer to spectator, and now I just go to see old friends and enjoy the laid back vibe. (and to ride powder, duh.)

This morning I realized that I lost all of my panoramics from previous LBS weekends when my computer crashed a little over a year ago. Somehow this moody shot of a lonely snow pusher survived in a random folder. I dig it.

Catalyst Paper, Crofton BC

Took the time to grab a quick panoramic when I was shooting video from the top of this paper mill. Looking off of the big boiler out over the ocean. Horizon.

Terminal City Iron Works

The former iron works turned film location. Streetscapes at lunchtime. Horizon.

Pemberton Meadows BC

I press the film release button to get another partial picture at the end of a roll sometimes. It either gives me a cool overlap, or ruins both pictures. This one is pretty good. Horizon. Pemberton BC 

Rudy's Roost

A quick 4x4 high above Britannia Beach and T.Rudy's place. Amazing view.
Myself, Wendy, Thor, K.Lo, T.Rudy, Scotty Barnes, Mike Kronstein, and guest starring Martin Gallant out there on the end. Bit of a lazerbeam light leak right through Wendy, but I'm ok with it. Spinner.

Pink Tiger Alley

I don't know what else to call it. Rethink perspective. Spinner.

wendybender

I've been scanning a lot of 360 panoramics and finding a few of these peoplebenders in between shots. This was the best of the recents. Wendy out in the water at Rathtrevor Park in late summer. Spinner.

Delays and another look at Spotted Lake.

I've been caught up in moving and not really scanning negatives lately. I'm just about ready to get back at it. 

For now, here's a second photo of Spotted Lake, Near Osoyoos BC. This time you can really see the spots. Holga.

Wedding Photographer !

I recently attended the wedding of two of my good friends Todd M Duym and Michelle Yip, on Thetis Island BC.
He is an accomplished photographer and cinematographer and inspires me with his work. have a look: http://www.toddmduym.com/ (spinner)

Recent Links

I have a couple of photos in the most recent (2nd) edition of the popular "This is East Van" photo book.
Here's an article from Vancouver Is Awesome where Rob and Erin (curators of the book) name one of my photos as one that sticks out from the crowd of submissions. Thanks guys!

I also help my man Roddy (aka mcenroe) shoot music videos every so often.
He is a music producer/musician and video producer/director.
Here's links to 2 recent videos I helped shoot:

e.d.g.e.- "Ed Pengame" : http://youtu.be/4y2aYRuZC54
I was one of two cameras on this one. Roddy shot the other.

mcenroe- "Last Man Standing" : http://youtu.be/LSvpf6tuOeI
I was one of two cameras on this as well. Philip Lanyon was the other.
Roddy also shot some of the inserts for cutaways.
We also used my Polaroid Press Camera as a prop/stills camera in the video.

More photos coming soon....

6X18 Pinhole Test

I recently shot 2 rolls of test pictures with my newly acquired medium format pinhole camera. It makes 4 shots on a roll of 120 film. 6 x 18 format. I was shooting on a shaking, fast moving boat, so they weren't all great. This is my favourite of the 8 I took. Ferryboat to Vancouver Island on father's day 2012.

Ocean Concrete

Some tubes and pokey screens.
Weird swing-lens flare on the second one.
