Hockey Euphoria in Victoria
March 2, 2010 | Filed Under Event | 1 Comment
I had thought of going back to Vancouver to experience the last day of the 2010 Olympics but opted to see what happened here. Pure spontaneous joy is all I can think of to describe the several hours of street partying that followed Canada’s gold metal win in men’s hockey. Jenna and I had only one camera with us so it was an interesting exercise to share a camera in a situation where we would normally both be shooting our faces off at the same time.
Jenna also has pictures up from Victoria’s spontaneous street celebration on her blog.
Vancouver 2010 Olympics

On February 22 & 23 Jenna and I went to Vancouver to photograph and feel the Olympics for a few days. It was such and overwhelmingly positive experience I will never forget.
You can see Jenna’s photos from the same two days over on her photography blog.
The image of Jenna below was from the moment just after Canadian skaters Virtue & Moir won the gold medal in ice dancing. All around us there were people watching their final skate projected onto a wall. People were standing, leaning on fences and pausing on the sidewalk. When Virtue & Moir won you could hear cheers erupting across the city from block to block. One of my most memorable moments from our two days in Vancouver.

Life During Wartime: with special guest Eddie C
January 24, 2010 | Filed Under Events | 6 Comments
Jenna and I had the pleasure of having our friend Eddie C stay with us for a few days this week. We missed having Brena (his wife and a fellow photographer) along for the trip. She has a way of getting you into the dance groove! Eddie was in town to play for the third “This Is Disco” party in Victoria. These are a few images from several nights taken in the darkest rooms I have ever tried to photograph in. Challenging and enjoyable!
Take a look at Eddie’s blog for updates, mix downloads, and more. Or listen to some of his music while buying his tunes on Juno Records!

I’ve had this series of images parked in my “to edit” folder for the last few weeks from a recent trip to Ucluelet and Tofino with friends. I can’t help but post a few images until I get the rest sorted! More photos coming soon.
Four Generations
November 19, 2009 | Filed Under Portrait | Leave a Comment
As some of you know my parents have started a wonderful new Tea Room in Victoria’s vibrant little China Town. It is called Venus Sophia Tea Room and has specialty teas, organic coffees, and a delicious lunch menu.
I have decided to help them get it going and am there most days helping out. It absolutely amazes me how many different people walk through the door and what happens on the street on an hourly basis! Today the young girl below came in with her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother for her birthday. I couldn’t resist so I got a quick picture of them just before they left.
Four generations. How incredible.
