This month in... Alberta Oil magazine: Vern Blinn

I photographed Vern at his home in Duncan, BC last month for Alberta Oil Magazine. He was a terrific subject with no shortage of stories from his time working the rigs. Read the article and see how his hobby to pass the time in the oil field developed into an obsession for fabricating accurate, detailed reproductions, and brought him to the attention of the Smithsonian.

Outside my window: Troubador

 I'm enjoying the new neighborhood and the host of interesting individuals it is home to and attracts.

This month in Vancouver Magazine

I photographed Anthony von Mandl, of Turning Point Brewery, for the July 2010 issue of Vancouver Magazine

Completed

I just completed photography for Vancouver Community College's course calendar and delivered the last of the files on Friday. They are re-thinking the publication and the new design is all big pictures and double page spreads, I look forward to seeing the final printed piece. This is one favorite from the many that we did.

Along Main Street Today, the stray dog

 

A discussion about the stray dog. This woman found it wandering along Main Street. A friend of the dog's owner came along a few minutes later, they had been looking for her. She was mostly blind and had wandered away.

Catching up.

This is an assignment shot last year for the Funeral Service Association of British Columbia. Each of these individuals struck me as exceptionally sensitive and caring and profoundly invested in their jobs. It was a personally satisfying assignment that had me working with the wonderful and talented Matt and Lynn from Emdoubleyu Design.

Shaolin Style!
