Shawnigan Show 'n' Shine

The Shawnigan car show is coming again on June 29th. I shot this 1965 Cobra Factory Five for the poster and the t-shirt. Poster to come.

Weddings

I took a break from shooting weddings after moving back to Canada and having shot many in Australia. I'm keen to get back in after shooting one not long ago here in the valley.
I believe that a couple need to choose a photographer whose style appeals, and whom after meeting...they feel comfortable with.

Fishermen. Indonesia.

I shot these images during a four month trip with Mariette through Thailand and Indonesia in 1996/97.

I love to get off the beaten path and this was one of those times. We stayed in a little fishing village near Padang. Not much there...sparse accommodation and food offerings. You really feel like you've gone back in time. I think these images were made at that location but my memory is a little fuzzy.

If you recognize the hats and think you know or can confirm the location feel free to clue me in.

Shot on b&w film with my trusty Canon.

Beach Seat

This was a nice spot to watch the waves roll in.

Shot on film with a Hasselblad 6x6.

BC Forestry

Forestry is on the move and I've been creating imagery with Taiji Brand Group for a few of the companies out there. It all starts with the seeds and then the seedlings grown in various nurseries.
