Knitty Grit-y

May 13, 2010

So I have been running around all day today getting ready for Mexico tomorrow (will be back in the office Wednesday May 19th)… it always seems that no matter how prepared I am for travelling, I always end up feeling rushed! (I was sitting down eating supper tonight, and felt like I was wasting time haha). Yup, I’m odd like that.

Anyhoo, Grit has decided to make a lil’ somethin’ for baby boy, and I can’t wait to see it when it’s done! I pulled out the camera and did the ‘daddy documents everything’ thing, and thought this pic was pretty cool.

I will be checking emails as often as I can while in Puerto Vallarta, so any questions/concerns should be answered within a day.

Cheers,

Michael

P.s. Am I the only one that can make an absolutely PERFECT omelette rrrrrrright up until the point where I *think* I can flip it in the frying pan?     Yup… Scrambled eggs instead. Dammit.

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

Its been an amazing experience this past week in Vegas at WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International). I am exhausted physically, mentally, and spiritually (we’ll get to that in the next post, but its all good things friends). I am definitely ready to come back home. I cannot wait to hold Grit in my arms, and sing to her pregnant belly. (hee hee)

The week of infinitely long walks through smokey casinos, and cramming as much into your brain from the plethora of classes and tradeshow booths is enough to wear anybody down. The funny thing is: as exhausted as I am, I am so excited and inspired to get working on what I have learned and experienced that I could probably run home from Vegas to Vancouver.

For the moment I leave you with this image of the view from my 27th floor room at MGM Grand (for the record New York, New York shown in the image is by far my favorite looking hotel). The technique used on this image was HDR (High Dynamic Range Imaging) which involves the combination of various images shot at different exposures. I have never really liked the look of this form of imagery, but today I did what I loved to do. I explored. I played and did something different (for me). Please enjoy.

Until next time my friends,

Michael

Wide Mouth Mason Concert

March 2, 2010

On Saturday I headed out with my good friends Nick and Deb to Holland Park in Surrey for the Wide Mouth Mason concert. We had an awesome time, this was my 6th time seeing WMM live and they never cease to amaze. I thought I’d share some of my favorite images from the night, hope you like em!

Also be sure to check out the music for yourselves at WideMouthMason.com and also take a look at some of the great charities and causes the guys support. Happy Tuesday everyone!
