Just a plain old digital photo from our weekend trip to Ucluelet

I am currently basking on a warm beach with a cold Bucanero in my hand & well if you are reading this you’re not. Now because I am in the wondrous land of overly complicated internet, I am going to future post a few things for you all to read/look at while I am gone.

A photo of the rocky beach at the olympic village. That is all :)

More of my picking on complete strangers project.  While waiting for people a while back i snapped a few photos of the people enjoying the ‘nice’ day.

Another update in the spirit of an already super busy 2011.

After hanging out over night on a mountain in the dead of winter, I took off to the Dominican Republic for a week in order to hang out on a beach in the dead of awesome! It was a work trip so it wasn’t all beaches and Cerveza but there was some awesome relaxing/sleeping till noon/double deserts to be had. There were also some really great night photos to be had. My favorite part of this night was trying to explain to one of the resort staff what exactly it was that I was up to with a camera on the beach at 2am.  Explaining night photos can be a challenging prospect at the best of time, but this was compounded by the fact that the only Español I know is Cervrza? Por Favor? and his English was equally as good. :) But after some hand gestures and showing him the back of the camera I received an enthusiastic thumbs up and what I can only assume was ‘good job’ in Spanish :)

These were all reasonably short exposure times (under a minute) being that the digital noise would get a little out of hand after that.  I did try and shoot a 30 minute Polaroid exposure using my Land Camera and a elastic band to hold down the shutter button but that it would seem wasn’t nearly long enough for the reciprocity error of The Fuji FP-100 film for I ended up with a black frame. I shot a couple of frames on a Holga as well. We will see if they worked out better. once I am done the roll.

and palm trees don’t look so bad during the day either.

It was hot out.

Mike came and built me the better part of a wall.

Shot a lot of people.

I saw an epic sunset!!

A tiger and I are Jamming tonight!

Thinking about breakfast!

That is all.

Yesterday we wandered along Long Beach for a while.

So yesterday I gathered up my cripple and took her to the beach to join the North Shore Crew in an impromptu beach BBQ!

Josh looking confused and scruffy :)

Mmmm.. Beeeefff.

The cheapest and best portable BBQ ever

Shan lookin like a rock star :)

M. doing some off roading :)

Kimli taking an ocean stroll :)

I did come to the sad discovery however that the Apple Store gave me the wrong Macbook (I asked for the middle one and they gave me the lower one, I paid for what i got so i am not really concerned to much) tomorrow i will jet in to the store and see whats what :)

Today we went off to Harrison lake for the heck of it! they have sandcastles and really cool back roads.

Partly because I am a jerk and partly because I didn’t think this ever happened I am going to keep you all updated with the sun situation that is happening here in Tofino! Yup there is still sun and I think it is awesome!

Yuppers you heard right! The jerk and his darling wife are spending the weekend in the lovley (although for me always wet!) paradise of Tofino!  And for the first time ever I saw sun here! Really!! I have proof.

So Yesterday my mother arrived in Vancouver via Westjet! So what does one do when they are out at the airport with Albertans that come from the season/land of snow & ice!? Well take em to Iona Beach of course!! I absolutly love it when I can show off our fantastic weather to all you silly Albertans that choose to stay there!

So ya here you are a neat photo of me taken by me! I found this while going through the archives of the institute.

I know I know that this was a long time ago but i have been resonably sucsessfull at avoiding my computer the last while so they haven’t been posted!
