I’ve added a few new headshots intended for coprorate use. The clients were financial managers at RBC Bank. I set up the studio in their beautiful downtown condo with Ann Evans taking care of the hair and make up work. 

Now that I finally have lots of pictures to post, there’s a backlog of them. I still have plenty of shots from my South East Asia trip to sort through with more than  few that deserve to be posted online. I did some corporate headshots a couple weekends ago which need to be added. But, most importantly, I shot my first wedding this past weekend of my dear friend Gary Lee and his wife Catherine. I have been quite pleased with the results so far and look forward to putting together a very solid album for the new couple. It was a fantastic wedding and a tough day of shooting. Somehow, I managed to fully enjoy both. On top of all this, I have a few engagement sessions to do in the coming weeks. 

I also had the pleasure last week of meeting with Jennifer and David of Judy INC who are going to open an agency in Vancouver sometime over the summer.  They were fantastic people and I look forward to a chance to work with them in the future.

This photo was taken in Sukhothai Historical Park in Thailand. It is a world-heritage site filled with ancient Buddha figures, palace buildings and ruined temples. I found it best enjoyed on at night where the darkness and harsh lights accentuate the mystique of the temples.

I’ve added two new photos from my recent trip to South East Asia.

The first is the HK Downtown skyline as seen from Kowloon.

The second is from Macau taken a few days after Chinese New Years

I finally have justification for not having posted any new photos. I’ve been traveling around South-East Asia include Thailand, Cambodia and Laos as well as a short stop over at Hong Kong. It has been a fantastic trip involving many adventures, meeting wonderful people and constantly being impressed by the beauty all around.

I will be posting a few of my favorite photos from the trip over the next few weeks in the personal section. Enjoy!

November has been a slow month in my photography world. Had some meetings regarding upcoming shoots but not a single new frame to add to the site. The ‘day job’ can be quite the diversion.

I’m feeling withdrawl and can hear the whispery beckoning of my camera. It’s a call I plan to answer in the coming weeks.

I’ve added two, completely unrelated, new photos to the Personal - People section.

The first is from Sintra, Portugal taken at the Pena National Palace.

The second was taken at the Opus Hotel lounge in Vancouver.

I’ve added a new photo to my personal section under landscapes. This one is of Victoria Falls, arguably the largest waterfall in the world. I took it on December of 2006 from the Zimbabwe side of the falls.

This past Saturday, I had a photo shoot with Lee showcasing Ann’s vibrant makeup work. We met in the rain at underneath the south side of the Burrard Street Bridge. The makeup and colours left little doubt that it would be best to shoot in the nearby woods. We set up and shot quickly as the weather conditions were none too kind. The focus was primarily on head-shots due to the make up work, and the two images I have added to the gallery reflect that.

Overall it was a fun - if not rather chilly - shoot! Thanks Lee and Ann.
