Last week we did a fantastic (but really cold) photoshoot with Jenna Mack for her new website. We didn’t really plan anything we just grabbed some stuff and shot before the rain came back.

Photo-shoot with Jenna Mack
Photoshoot with Sera Lys
My good Friend Sera Lys was in town from LA this week & we went out and played in a random Richmond Field. These are the Jpgs directly out of camera, I was using a Alien Bees Flash and in camera profiles. So Much Fun!!! We were also playing with Video but that will have to wait for another day!!
Miranda Had a Birth Day!
And We Had A Party!!!
We are the keynote speakers on Social media For Photographers at image quest first thing in the AM so….. I will sleep now.
There is exciting things in the future and as soon as I get 2 min I will tell you all about them!!
It again has been a busy week.
I know that I keep saying this stuff and keep saying that I am going to get less busy and that whole not so busy thing never seems to happen. BUT I am hoping that next week will be different. This week has been a whirlwind of meeting people, officially unpacking, organizing stuff, & getting our studio ready for a two day workshop. Yuppers we have been host to nearly 100 different peeps in two separate all day sessions from a Southern California photog named becker. It has been great to meet peeps and have awesome lunch/dinners with you all.
I nearly killed myself trying to get the house in order for these two days so I think that i need some sort of a vacation. Conveniently tomorrow I am crammin on to a bus and headed out to Big White for the weekend. So many thanks to Allie for setting this trip up!! Hopefully super swell snow, (I am sure it will be better then here) there will be lots of beer, 50ish cool peeps that I don’t know but I am going to meet. ohhh & beer, did I mention beers, I like beers!
I am at a loss as to what I should take for gear because I am not taking my Xterra so taking my normal everything is not really an option. The 3-5 different types of film cameras & the 2 polaroid cameras in addition to a digital kit that I would normally take places may be a bit overkill :) My goal is to just walk downtown to where I meet the bus so if I cant carry it there with my board, boots, & clothes then it is probably to much stuff :)
Anywho… Here is “the intern” who is not an intern any more, but a full fledged employee, rockin out in blue polaroid form.
See ya on the flip side!
Busy Busy Days
So it’s only one day after I complained that I am lazy bastard and I get to say that I am moving forward. I think that today would really qualify as at least a good step. In fact it was a super busy day filled with pure awesome (: The day started at the early hour of 5:30am with a bit of morning driving about while M was at her weekly cult meeting. While they were toasting kool-aid and such I was chasing the sunrise around.
Harry Jerome Statue with with morning in the back ground…
…and my favorite tree in Stanley park.
Next on the list of awesome today was a photo shoot with a couple of new models that I haven’t worked with before – Leanna and Amie. We had a blast shooting with old cameras, vintage clothes, and some old furniture.
Amie out in the wilds of Vancouver and in the studio.
The same place with Leanna. These four shots are taken with my standard run of the mill Polaroid 600 Camera
I took a few rolls of film that I will drop off to the lab as well but these are a few of the digital shoots from the day.
I think we are going to do a whole fashion inspired chair in random place series. Mostly because chairs in random places = buckets of awesome! And Buckets of Awesome is what I am all about!
Continuing right along with the awesomeness of the day, I had band jam time in which we did a few takes of our favorite songs. I managed to somehow tear my fingernail half off yesterday on the mountain so I was playing with a bandaged finger. Shan played us a hidden track from a band (I forget the name of the band) where they ‘cover’ Guns and Roses. This prompted us to start playing Bon Jovi and well it all went down hill from there. Luckily the Zoom was recording the hilarity that was our version of Dead Or Alive :)
More Cross Process Alicia
I am headed up a mountain right now to play in what is hopefully awesome snow, but I also wanted to share some of yesterdays much anticipated film glory. It will be a day or so before it is all scanned in because I am an idiot and insist on scanning everything in at super high quality. It takes about and hour and a half to scan three 6×7 frames or 12 35mm frames and I have like 5 rolls from yesterday and I am behind another four or five from last week, so you can do the math. But I am super impressed with the cross process of the Kodak Portra 800. It was exactly what i was hoping for I just hope the 400 and 160 give me the same level of awesome. The tungsten Cross Process i am not so wild about. I think the next rolls i shoot of it I will just stick to regular process and shoot in the daylight. I have no examples yet but soon. For now i am off to cypress for snowboarding glory.
The Film Photoshoot Day
Today I shot with a model named Alicia whom I have worked with a number of times, but always on standard ordinary commercial catalog shoots. Today I really wanted to play with all my film cameras and such so 85% of the shoot was shot on old cameras. This is a just a smattering of the few digital/Polaroid shots that I took today. I will get more up when the film gets all developed. 
Some Canon 5d shots
These are from the Polaroid Land Camera shooting Fuji FP100C
Type 600 shot on the SX70
More Polaroid Land Camera shooting Fuji FP100C
This is the analog product of the day. We have just about every (good) kind of film format known to man :) 120, 35, Type 600, Pack film, Type 55, etc…
Anywho I am off to a pub for food.

Winter? Here? Nahhh!
Well the News at 11 was an hour late but here you all are. Today as I said before I went up a mountain with a new model Michelle. I had a snowy forest idea and Sarah Bergeest was able to work her magic in the makeup & hair department! They both were troopers dealing with ridiculous amounts of snow and rain, as well as having a good time! (that’s hard to do without a snowboard under ya. ) I wish I had a video crew to follow us around because dealing with the 10ft of snow was hilarious and should been seen!!! I say 10ft mostly because I don’t know!! I kept sinking to my waist and not touching the ground so who knows how far that went!!! Anyway here is a photo
Mountains and Artificial fog
As opposed to looking at the thousands of unseen photos that I alluded to yesterday, I am off to a mountain today to take some more. I just have to stop and pick up a fog machine first. Hear more with the new at 11!
