And here’s a few of my favorite outtakes:

I’ve been playing with video and editing and took this opportunity to get George in action.

Though George is a prolific Canadian novelist, poet, historian and biographer, his personality proves comedian. I have to admit that I was in a constant state of shock and disbelief just from listening to him talk… and then there’s the pictures to prove his lack of concern for my camera in front of his face.

You can go ahead and read his books, but here’s a little personal insight that you might never see.

• Walking through his house was like perusing an art gallery.
• He couldn’t get through Life of Pi which makes me feel much better for dropping it after chapter 3
• He’s a bit of a bad-ass. Like I had to edit out a lot of stories that may have been slightly incriminating. I imagine that an evening of wine and scotch would be quite entertaining.

I love when Torch magazine calls me up.  They always send me to shoot inspirational, accomplished and entertaining subjects.

Alright, so the time has finally come! It’s been almost two years but all the hard work has made AAron Houston and Aisla Webster’s Sunflower Hour a huge success. At the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival it snatched up an award for Independent Camera

It’s showed in Quebec city and Calgary and it’s finally here at the Vancouver International Film festival until October 14th!

There’s definitely lots of laughs and I even make a bit of a cameo.  I’ll buy a drink for the first person who can give a detailed description of what I was wearing. And yes, it’s excruciatingly embarrassing.

GO!! GO!! GO!!!

With a spectacular cast and lots of laughs, I was honoured to shoot stills during the filming.  Seven Deneault did a fabulous job compositing the stills into this poster.

Tonight is opening night for Goblin Market at the Vancouver Fringe Festival and I have to say that I’m pretty excited to see it. I had the pleasure of illustrating this for Director (and dear friend) Barbara Tomasic. For some reason I always get really nervous when I’m doing work for friends, but I think she’s pretty happy with the results. You can see my reflection in the cherry and that makes me happy.

The show stars Lauren Bowler and Tracey Powers–two incredibly in-demand, inspirational and talented ladies. Tracey’s an award winning playwright and Lauren just opened a trendy new tea shop in New West called Great Wall Tea Company.

I’ll be there tonight. Be sure to come and say hi!
