My good friend Ryan asked me if I would be willing to shoot his sister Brandi’s wedding. While I hadn’t shot too many weddings before, I agreed to shoot it for them, with the understanding that I was still a bit of a novice. The wedding ceremony was held at St. Anthony’s Parish in West… Read more »

Our last stop of our trip took us to the north eastern town of Cairns to go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, and take a bit of time to decompress before leaving Australia. Before hitting the ocean we decided to go on a hot air balloon ride. I had wanted to take Mateo on… Read more »

After Kangaroo Island, we headed north up to Adelaide for an evening, before flying up to Alice Springs. In Adelaide Mateo and I had a blast trying the local pie floaters, an Adelaide specialty. Once in Alice Springs we rented a car, with camping equipment and made the 8 hour drive to Uluru. The camping… Read more »

Kangaroo Island was probably one of my favorite places in Australia. It had a wild mix of geography, from Sahara like sand dunes, to rocky ocean cliffs. An amazing array of wildlife, and some of the best colors at sunrise and sunset I have ever seen. Mateo loved seeing all the animals, and we had… Read more »

After the 12 Apostles, and the zip-lining I realized Mateo was getting a little sick of all the coastal driving. I decided to take a detour and shoot north up to the Grampians, before heading back down south to the coast again on route to Kangaroo Island. The Grampians were a really excellent diversion, and… Read more »

After Sydney, Mateo and I flew to Melbourne. We spent a day there wandering around, before renting a car, and making our way down to the coast, to drive the Great Ocean Road. For this post, there are photos from our drive from Melbourne to Ocean Grove to hook up with the coast, then all… Read more »

When Mateo (my nephew and godson) turned 12, I asked his parents if I could take him on a trip when he turned 13. They agreed, so long as it was someplace safe. I told Mateo when he had his 12th birthday that he could choose any place in the world, and we would go… Read more »

I concluded my Europe tour in Hungary to take part in Jason and Sophie’s wedding extravaganza. It was a 4 day, fully organized tour of Hungary, culminating with the wedding in Lillafured. We started in Hungary where we spent a few days, then made our way to Lillafured via the Lazar Equestrian Park. Finally the… Read more »

En route to Jason and Sophie’s wedding in Hungary I decided to do a short stop over in Belgium to do some beer sampling. Having to work during the day, essentially meant I had during my lunch breaks and at night to taste. It was enough though. Brussels was a pretty well setup city for… Read more »

Long exposure taken at Barnet Marine Park.

Shot near Crab Park in Vancouver.

For this years festival I decided to go to Coachella with Bernie and Lester. This was the first time at Coachella for Bernie. For Lester and I, this would be our second time after going back in 2007 with our friend Joe. We started our trek in Vegas, where Bernie was at a trade show… Read more »

Spent the evening out at Siwash Rock in Stanley park shooting the sunset and taking a timelapse. Another great night with loads of color in the sky. Experimented with zooming my lens while shooting. Let me know if you like the effect (2nd of the images).

Ryan and I went for a hike up Seymour Mountain today after a fresh dump of snow. Rays of sun were breaking through the cloudy horizon, and we were able to look down into Downtown from the first peak. Was extremely windy on top, so we didn’t spend too much time on the peak before… Read more »

Spent a cold January day on 3rd beach taking photos of the sunset. Some amazing colors in the sky. Photo was featured on Vancouver is Awesome as their Daily Flickr Pickr. Also created a timelapse of the clouds moving in while I was shooting the sunset.
